Glastonbury 2007 - if you want to go read this

[Melton Fox]

Music is a ever-changing landscape and the two artists show that. Both are well-known musical personalities, I don't think you can blame this one on the music industry as both artists record records for independant labels. The Music Industry produces shite like Mika, current no.1 in the UK etc., neither of these bands are built by a machine the industry has created (Take That cough cough have so this). Bjork is currently recording her 10th album and has always maintained a decent fanbase. She even hit popularity in the UK during the 90s.

You have to realise Glastonbury's aim at its fanbase and these two acts do that.

Still bollox

I've been to the last 4 Glastonbury's and will be trying to get a ticket for this one but to be honest I'm not as excited about it as I used to be. Year by year the type of attendee has slowly changed and it is now more trendy people going than actual lovers of music. I think it has become more of a fashionable thing to go to rather than somewhere you go because of your admiration for live music and arts.

Also, the price is nothing short of extortionate.

If you've never been before than I urge you to try your hardest to go (it is truly a mind opening experience) but I'm sure people who have been before will agree with me when I say that year by year it gets a bit less enjoyable.

I can understand the Monkeys headlining the festival. They have argubly been the biggest band of the last 12 months.

Bjork on the other hand. I didn't even know anyone actually listened to her music.

I think you'll find that everytime Bjork plays the tickets sell out in a matter of minutes, so there are one or two people who still listen to her.

This has defo happen in the last 2-3 years. Slowly became a fashion show.

I'd go to see the Monkeys, but sod Bjork.

Arcade Fire and The Who have also been confirmed.

I just had a thought - the link between fairer ticket distribution and pre-registration is rather tenuous. If you think about it, by making everyone pre-register, they get a massive amount of marketing information and get information on how many people actually want to go to Glastonbury. In previous years it's all been estimated but this year Eavis will end up with accurate data. Not only that but he will harvest information on where people who want to go to Glastonbury are from, their age, their names, addresses, the works! He could sell this information to any ticket company, etc for a nice tidy sum! It's a scam in my opinion. I'd like to see the policy on sharing the information - I bet there is no disclaimers, etc.

Why didn't you look at the site linked to at the start of the thread then, rather than just make an assumption?

"Please note that no information collected by registration will be offered for sale or use by any third party organisation."

 

[Joe_Fox]

Because I couldn't be bothered. He'll still have the information though. I think I know who's winning.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

But, Bjork is a legned! Sod The Arctic Mankers, but Bjork & Arcade fire I'd definately pay to see... :icon_wink

Although, i was still hoping Radiohead would make an appearence with their new album out and all, doesn't seem like it though :icon_cry:

[Feriol]

just checked on the site again, it says

The following information relates to the Glastonbury Festival 2005 and should be used as a guide only. Further information will appear here following the approval of the 2007 licence.

so you may well be right Joe

 

[pistol]

has anyone else registered yet? apparently it doesn't guarantee you a ticket, unfortunately

 

[MHS]

I want to go so much, but I don't think I will. Firstly, no one I know wants to go/can afford it, and I aint going all that way on me tod. And secondly, as you pointed out, even if I did want to go, I might not be guaranteed a ticket.

 

[MHS]

Mika, Hot Chip and Lily Allen all expected to be at Glasto.

Any thoughts I ever had of going have now disappeared.
