Is Glastonbury Still King Of The Festivals?

Michael Eavis today admitted that interest in Glastonbury 2008 is down on last year and they’ve settled for ‘middle range headliners.’

Without a shadow of doubt, Glastonbury is going to amazing fun,  it will feature some career-defining live sets and will be plastered all over the media. Yet, many seem happy to steer clear of it in 2008.

Many say they are bored of the inevitable mud, the stringent ticketing process and the relative high ticket price compared to European festivals.

In Gigwise’s comments section today we’ve received a number of comments from people who are losing interest in the Worthy Farm event. Ncgirl says:

“Glasto has become a victim of its own success, it’s far too busy, the weather is generally bad and the because of the sheer amount of people the facilities suck. Because of the scramble for tickets over the last few years people have had to try other festivals and have realised sometimes the grass is greener elsewhere.”

On the other side of the coin, there are those that claim that Glastonbury is still the king of the festivals and only gets inevitable bad press because it is the biggest and most publicised event out there.

To them, it is comparable to none.
