You're so right Side. I'm doing everything wrong. Teach me how to be more like you.*

My fucking local is more commercialised than it was ten years ago. Get used to it. Modern world is rubbish.

Dan M you sound a bit old and a bit letchy from that post, isn't it easier to go on sugardaddy.com and save the mid life crisis being so public?

Apologies for the use of the F word Side. I did Glastonbury in the 90s as well, but I prefer the FUN I have these days as I can now afford my own environment (camper), can handle my substance usage, enjoy being in a huge crowd more and have a wider music taste than I had back then. FUN is another way of saying I danced, sang, drank, inhaled and fondled my way through the last few festivals I've been to. There's no blueprint in how festivals HAVE to be and there's room for people to take what they want from it.

I flew a Farewell Boleyn flag in the campervan field at the IOW in June.

I still love Glastonbury, undeniably it's lost some edge but I can't see how it can be called too comercial.
They let you bring in your own drink, police still ignore drug taking, the stewards return drugs to you if they find your personal stash in your bag on way in (depends on the steward I guess, but think they're only after big suppliers and weapons), still run as a family businessm in fact you can spend the whole weekend in travellers or greenfields and not see an advert anywhere.
Compare it to V festival for example, and it's like an underground rave.

I think you'd struggle to find any event that isn't more commercialised than it was 10 years ago.
So whilst Glastonbury may be more commercial than it was, that doesn't necessarily mean it's "turned to commercialised shit". I'd be interested to understand how this relatively mild commercialisation has impacted on people's enjoyment of the festival in any case.

Compared to what? Ooh i know........ 'other' commercialised festivals.
Once something is publically/mainstream popular it's done for me as a FUN thing to do, as it's just ANother event on the annual 'lets plan our year' of fun gravy train.
Anyways it's your time you spend doing these things so enjoy! I just (like all older gits) enjoyed my time doing it the way it was then and during the right time in my life, if anything i'm just sick of people my age encroaching on the younger generations era and these things seem to be the place to encroach best.

I wouldn't say Glastonbury is especially commercialised. If it was then they'd charge a damn sight more for the tickets. They also wouldn't let you bring in as much alcohol as you want.
I've only been the last 4 years so can't really comment on what it was like before, but I'm not sure what could have changed significantly for the worse. It's still a debauched drug fest with a wide range of different music acts. The demographic has probably changed, the food is no doubt better, and it's more mobile phone, social media infested, but that's a product of the times rather than anything else.

To be fair FUN is the lazy way of saying it's gone to commercialised shit.

Glamping plus drugs? Sounds an interesting combination.

To be fair FUN is quicker than typing fucking mental weekends of debauchery' spent out in a field in the 90's.

In 2014, the BBC sent 300 staff to Glastonbury for the 3-day festival. More than it sent to Brazil for the 32-day World Cup Finals.
