    How can you tell.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    By choice or inability to get tickets?

    Flags question - I went in 1993 and would love to go back but it looks like those stupid flags block the view of the stage.

    There was a huge f*cking stupid American one a few years ago (of course) that blocked everyone's view. After that they limited the flags to typical flag size (if you know what I mean) up the front. Some have two flags on a pole but no more than that.
    As a shorter person it does mean that they do tend to get in my view from time to time but I don't mind. It's all part of the flavour. Glasto is famous for it. The humour and thought that is put into some of them is brilliant and they would be sorely missed.
    I remember a few years ago. Standing in the p*ssing rain at The Other Stage. Miserable and trying to figure out who to see next when I look over my friends' shoulders, point and say "Is that Marty f*cking Morrisey on a f*cking flag..... in SPACE?" I mean where else are ya gonna see something as random as that. Brought a smile to my face.

    I don't understand why people bring flags. I could never be bothered carrying it around for 5 days, what's the point? Easier for your friends to find you I suppose. If you get close to the stage they don't obscure your view, they're more annoying for the people watching on TV.

    They're a pain in the hole for anyone watching it on de telly.

    Some people say the festival should ban them but that wouldn't make a bit of difference. 90% of searches are cursory at best.

    Regarding the flags. While they may p*ss off TV viewers they are pretty cool for those who are there and help Glasto stand out.

    What is it that elevates Glastonbury and Coachella in the states above all other music festivals, there’s loads on every year that basically have the same or similar enough lineup and the above mentioned cost an absolute fortune in comparison.

    Basically have the same line up? Pmsl . There are 30/40 stages. Most festivals have 4 or 5
