Hello again lovers of all things Metal
Well, here we are. At the end of another working week.
The festival season is almost upon us again, but which one are YOU going too?
I read a interesting article recently, where YouGov polled a few thousand people, and questioned them about their forthcoming festival attendances. Not surprisingly – as the article came from NME (Yawn) – it portrayed a summer of poorly attended festivals put mainly down to the fact that there is no Glastonbury.
Sorry, what?
I live about eight miles from the festival site; I have gone a few times as a teenager, and even played it once; have I mentioned that before?…Anyway, it’s a cool place to go if you like an endless barrage of Indie bands in tight jeans and swept over hair, mixed in with silly dancing and smelly hippies with painted faces. If you like to spend your time tied to a tree when the council want to build a road and you dress like an extra from Robin Hood, then you will feel at home at Glastonbury.
But to say no Glastonbury means low attendances is mad.
The problem is that the market is awash with lot’s of small festivals popping up in every acre of farmland across the country. These small gatherings often have a known act headlining, and are usually very well ran and not over-priced.
Sonisphere was not cancelled because a few hippies were crying in to their lentil soup. They just didn’t book an appealing enough line up to convince punters to buy tickets. There is so much more choice now; you could drive ten miles down the road in the summer and find a small festival that will provide you with good music and reasonable beer. If you don’t want a repeat of this year team Sonisphere, you gotta make your line-up the envy of the world.
As Jim Morrison once said: “Book them, and they will come”.
Until next week.
Horns up.
