But while Glastonbury attracts globally renowned artists who help fill the festival's coffers with hard-earned cash, its founder pays himself a salary of just £60,000. This salary figure comes from Glastonbury Festival's reported £32m turnover. Eavis, 86, donates the remainder of his profits and gives £2m to charity.
 
Just did a quick Google (Oo-err) and it seems that the organiser/landowner isn't worth as much as you might have expected.

Founder of Glastonbury Festival, Michael Eavis reportedly worth £1.2million

Glastonbury Festival makes millions, yet the founder pays himself a £60,000 salary, which is the same wage as an accountant. But despite this he is thought to have a net worth of more than £1million.

I wonder if a heterosexual did all this sexual stuff on stage it would be lauded as much? Or would people be up in arms and complain

Nice work if you can get it

Also I don't know about today but Glastonbury was generally the lowest paying major festival in terms of paying the bands, especially the headliners, they still got decent money but it was nothing compared to what bands were getting to headline Reading Festival and V Festival and things like that when it was going.

I know Glastonbury basically had a set fee that they paid the headliners but acts wanted to do it because it's Glastonbury, even if other festivals often paid more

Saw some of The Courteeners set. Can anyone try and convince me how these got so popular? Nothing stands out whatsoever, average songs, no star quality.

Same

They sound like your average mediocre local band that didn't get anywhere during that mid 2000s guitar scene, but somehow they did get somewhere

They pay them? Thought they played for nought because majority of the money goes to charity
 
OK I am 69 early next year, but apart from Foo Fighters and Yusuf/ Cat Stevens there has been little to excite me, but I did see a bit of Rick Astley, who always seemed a bit of a joke to me, but have to say he was far better than most off the rest.
