Arctic Monkeys – Not Playing Glastonbury 2010
The Arctic Monkeys have put to rest the rumours that they would be making a return to Glastonbury this year. They announced that they wont be performing until they finish their work in the studio.
I Feel Robbed
£194.95 for a ticket to Glastonbury this year and that’s not including the parking fee either. Yeah Glastonbury is good but almost 200 quid for a ticket is getting ridiculous. There was a time not too long ago when it was less than £100, now its almost doubled.
Last year, for me personally, the festival failed to live up to my expectations, as did the year before. The only think that kept it real was the fact that there was around 50 of us camping together and we had a good old laugh regardless of our surroundings.
So much has changed the past few years. The festival has become more commercialised and the kind of people going has changed too, In my opinion there seem’s to be tons more upper class people going and less and less “hippies” and “crazy guy’s”. I aint seen a streaker in years at Glastonbury. There was a time when people used to just walk around with their tackle out. Those free spirit type people are what make the festival.
Bring back the good old days.
Glasto Goes Solar
Glastonbury is set to install the largest private solar electricity system in the UK, says the official website.
Michael Eavis is set to buy 1,500 square metres of solar panels, which will generate the same amount of power annually as used by 40 homes.
The 1,100 solar panels will sit atop the barns which are home to the Worthy Farm herd while the Festival is on. On a clear, sunny day, the panels are expected to generate some 200kW of power. Any power which isn’t used on the farm will be exported to the National Grid.
Glastonbury Approved until 2016
Mendip Council granted Glastonbury a new licence, giving the the go ahead to hold the festival until 2016.
For the very first time since the festival started the licence was passed without objection.
Again Glastonbury will take a fallow year in 2012 to help the land recover from the mass of fans that flock to the festival every year.
Jason Kirkwood, a spokesman at Mendip District Council, explained to eFestivals: “This is the first time that there won’t be a hearing (for Glastonbury Festival) amending the application.
“I’ve been here since 2001 and it’s never happened before, as far as I know. The objections have been mediated to a mutually agreeable solution, and so the amendments (to the licence) will go straight through.”
