ManxTaxPayer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Can everyone going to Glastonbury 2013 please do so as quietly as possible with the lease amount of gloating # weljel Seconded. Thanks. Well, without wanting to sound smug I'm going and I've rented a yurt for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Every sentence containing the word yurt has to be smug. See above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkin Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Anyone who thinks they will need a yurt for Glasto clearly isn't boshing enough loopy juice. I rarely bother going to bed if i'm honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes, but I haven't really rented a yurt. It was a play on.... oh never mind.... I'm not even going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Make up your mind. Which band was it? The Arseholes aren't playing the Hey-on-Why Festival has them on an exclusive contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Least it's going to be ace on the telly this year. The BBC's coverage looks proper Olympic scale. Enjoying the coverage, the audio's a bit crap though - all snare, no bass. Ironically most of the bands I've watched from the first day, I've seen or will see at festivals this year.

Declan Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's a fair point, but is it that outrageous compared to other minorities (no programme gets 50% of the population) - formula one costs them £20m just for the rights, before they send anyone to film it) - that's twice 6music' s annual budget. Wimbledon receives similar coverage for a fortnight as Glastonbury gets over a weekend. A third of the population attend paid for concerts each year, a million plus will attend festivals this year. Plus the bbc can recycle this footage and these recordings as part of their output over the years. 6music plays archive concerts most nights for example.

Slim Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Personal view: A HUGE amount of licence-payer's money spent on coverage for a minority audience [i'm sure the hundreds of BBC personnel involved are delighted with this increasingly expensive annual jolly].I know I'm not going to find much support for that, but it's a genuine opinion. Last Glastonbury was viewed by 19 million, with the headline breaking the record for any single performance with 2.6 million viewers. Hardly a minority.
