I wonder how much longer the default question in band interviews will be "What do you think about Glastonbury?" Till Glastonbury happens I suppose.
The latest Glasto commentary comes from The Kooks who have told The Daily Star that they think Glastonbury has had its day, and to prove it they're starting their own new festival.They said: "We have been talking about holding our own [festival] down south, somewhere like Stamner Park near Brighton where we live. We will do it in the next couple of years. Although Glastonbury is the best in the world, something like that can't really carry on. It's getting too big. We love playing Glastonbury, but we couldn't walk anywhere last year as it was so full. And where you have so many people there it's hard to get a vibe".
They also, obviously, passed judgement on Jay-Z: "Jay-Z is a weird choice but he's a phenomenal artist. We have always thought that Neil Young could be the best artist you could possibly have at Glastonbury - and The Eagles and Bob Dylan".
