I Hate Glastonbury

I do, I really do. It just makes no sense.

Why would anyone want to spend three days in Somerset knee deep in mud and piss just so they can watch a few achingly cool indie bands or some washed up old has been that all of a sudden, due to students across the country thinking they’re ironic, has become cool again?

Not only that but you have to pay £150 for the privilege of getting a ticket that you can’t then sell if you don’t need it because it’s got your fucking photo on it, plus if you’re going with friends you have to take a gamble as you’re only allowed to buy two tickets at a time anyway. All this from a website that crashes more often than Lindsey Lohan behind the wheel of a Mercedes.

Then when you do eventually get there, after being stuck in a traffic jam the length of the M5, you have to find a place to put up your tent. A place that regardless of how well you choose it is guaranteed to be beside a complete bunch of arses who appear to have been part of some secret government experiment into sleep deprivation, that means they only need two minutes of sleep a week.

And before anyone dares question me, no I haven’t been. So how can I know, you all might ask? Well I’ve never eaten a dog shit sandwich but I don’t need to do that to reason that it would be a pretty unbearable experience.

    Suffice it to say, that I enjoyed my Glastonbury experience but I probably wouldn’t do it again…

    That doesn’t mean I agree with you though – there just comes a time when trying to change the mind of an opinionated Scotsman just isn’t worth it! :)

    I couldn’t agree more. I went to Glastonbury this year and hated it so much that I have spent the last 10 days googling “I hate Glastonbury” just to find people who feel the same. Nobody who goes will ever admit that they hate it because it’s so damn cool to go to Glastonbury and party non-stop and completely destroy a nice, quiet piece of countryside for the next year. And it’s completely mainstream. The fact that Beyoncé’s gig this year was the biggest of all the concerts says it all.
