# info from glastonbury's website.
So, what is Glastonbury Festival ?

Glastonbury Festival is unique !

It's the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world.

If you've been to other big open-air festivals - maybe Reading, Phoenix, the V Festivals, Pink Pop, Roskilde, Dr Music or wherever - they can be a good starting point of reference. But that are so many aspects which bear no comparison of scale or content.

# yeah
but at least the festivals on the continent have permanent roads/toilets
(I helped save b3ta! Reverend Dan, Sun 29 Jun 2003, 12:48, archived)
# yeah but
they dont compare to glasto...

i went to the berlin love parade last year, it was awesome, but it was nowhere near as good as glastonbury

# well i haven't been to any euro festivals
and i love glasto, but the idea of proper roads and toilets does appeal to me

# roskilde:
The music...

First and foremost, Roskilde Festival focuses on the music. With our musical profile we strive to remain the world's leading, up-to-date and progressive international music festival.

Roskilde Festival has to be innovative and continue to present young talent of today and tomorrow. As our audience states in e-mails and letters, a visit to the festival should always be an exiting and surprising experience. Not too many big and predictable names on the bill, but many ‘surprises’ and new names with just a handful of well selected ‘peaks’ from the superstar league.

The trademark of Roskilde Festival is, and continues to be, lots of unpredictability, progressiveness and experimentation, combined with a small amount of predictability and ‘polishedness’.

well, cannibal corpse is the type of music where people play guitars completely randomly and crazily and there is a guy who thinks he is satan who screams alot and smashes things up alot, while the drummer just plays a continuous solo.

# aha well,
the only good bands there are as follows.

1. Daft Punk
2. Radiohead
3. Prodigy

the rest i hate with a passion, basically because they are techno/trance freaks which is gay and shit, and/or crap bands who suck.

death to electronic music. death to it now.

I've never heard of most of the bands playing Glasto this year either.

I've been to Glasto 5 times and it's great, but certainly not some kind of "uber-festival".

Infact, 2000 was a bit crap. FACT!

all of whom i would love to see live. i also find it interesting (not being sarcy, honest!) that out of the three acts you list as not being techno trance freaks, one of them has their roots in the birth of hardcore techno, another was doing some of the harshest techno i've heard on their debut album, and the other has taken a great deal of influence from techno into their work. see, you're not as narrow-minded as you claim to be ;)

# yes.
that may be true, however they actually have skill in making their music. they dont need to go on a computer, get a few samples, throw them together and loop them hundreds of times in a row.
(I helped save b3ta! Zykatious Is all like WWOOOAAAHHHH, Sun 29 Jun 2003, 13:34, archived)
# mmmm
because it really is that easy. it really bugs me how people say dance is music is so boring & repetetive coz it's just the same thing over & over again, when if people actually bothered to listen to it properly they'd realise that totally isn't the case at all. i'd argue the point that pop/rock music is totally repetetive because it all goes intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/chorus/outro. it's just as much a valid point, yet just as much completely blinkered and wrong.

# i can't actually find the size of glastonbury
but it is the biggest festival in the world, so your figures aren't as big as glastonbury's figures. this being so because it cannot have more people if it is smaller than glastonbury.
