(Thanks for putting me on your mailing list btw) I have to take issue slightly. If you are only interested in the big names, then posiblya festival is not tyhe place for you. I love festivals not always fopr the big names, but to see up and coming talent all in one place. Plus the fact that there is always something going on, wether it be a concert, dance, session, mossis diplay. There are good quality trade stands etc. You don't have to buy the festival beer, you can take your own tins bottles etc, and you can cater for yourself. I still theink that even at £80.00 a ticket, they are bloody good value.
