It comes with the territory of discussion of the festival and the performers. I'm watching cause I like to watch the headline acts even if they aren't to my taste. I've had plenty of occasions where I've seen acts at Glastonbury that I don't particularly like but have watched and enjoyed. It's just not happening tonight with Ed. Doesn't mean I shouldn't watch. Fair enough so but if I didn't like an artist I'd instantly switch over to something else.

Sorry, but that is nonsense, I first went in 2005 and can still remember most of who I saw and I'd imagine most people would be the same, It's a great experience and in general its a much better experience than most music events I go to, complete opposite of the type of person you describe above. Most unpretentious crowd going.
