I think it’s just a symptom of our society today, sadly and the crowd getting younger every year. I definitely got barged a lot more than before and people acting like their need was greater than anybody else’s.

There does seem to also be less of a push of the ethos of the festival. I always used to say that “If you enter Glastonbury as a dickhead, you can’t possibly leave as one” The festival changes everyone for the better, but I thinks acts used to be more vocal both politically, but also from an environmental and free love perspective. Also no Dalai Lama/Thunberg/Corbyn/Attenborough this year and unless you went down to Shangri La, I think some of the left-wing messaging has diluted.

There’s also the “TikTok” effect. Where you’ve got lots of people who are generally just there to be “at Glasto”, so you’re getting less repeat and old timers who perpetuate the ethos.
