Full lineups
Wouldn't it be good to add the lineups from each year's festival?
Obviously due to the nature of the festival, for a lot of people it's very hard to remember what acts actually played, but I think this could be a nice historic piece in the long-term. :-)
- I'm not sure it would be practical to post the entire line-up for each stage for each year, it would probably have to be restricted to the headliners. But that would create a false impression as the Glastonbury festival is not just about the bands, there is so much more to it than that. - TylerD
- Why would it not be practical? We can easily make pages for each year and put the lineup and other details on those pages.. --Steinsky 22:03, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- OK, maybe it's worth a shot. But we do need to get across that there's so much more to Glasto than just being another music festival. It needs coverage of the Green Fields, Lost Vagueness etc. - TylerD
I'm sure Franz Ferdinand played in 2004 but there is no mention of them in the Guardian site. Lumos3
Photos
Are any wikipedians going this year, or have past photos? It would be nice to get a picture or two for the article, maybe one of the pyramid and one of the whole site from up at the stone circle? --Steinsky 23:03, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Well I've got this one of the giant "LOVE" sculpture from 2002... http://www.geocities.com/drgazowen/photos/festivals2002/019-16a.jpg , and the one at John Otway. I've probably got some more knocking about somewhere...
- I still haven't developed mine from last year yet. Doh! I'm bringing a digicam this year, so hopefully will have some decent ones then. A night shot from the stone circle showing all the camp fires across the site would rock, but that's going to need slow film and a tripod. - TylerD
- I am going this year and will take pictures. If anyone wants to upload pictures to Wikipedia let me know as I am doing IT support for Greenpeace there and will have internet access, card readers etc. Justinc 10:32, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Have put a picture up for Michael Eavis, will go through the rest. Justinc 1 July 2005 17:33 (UTC)
- All of my Glasto 2k5 pictures are available at http://themsquared.fotopic.net/ and include a few of the floods, the mud and the pyramid stage...

With Kylie getting cancer treatment, will she still be headling Glasto? --Madchester 08:34, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Requested move
- Glastonbury Festival is used throughout the article, and on most of the external links, including the official site. Currently What links here is split about equally between the upper and lower case F. Vclaw 28 June 2005 12:54 (UTC)

- Support, I always wondered why the "F" was never in the uppercase. --Madchester June 30, 2005 19:51 (UTC)
- Support, Yeah, it makes sense to me. Cherry blossom tree 30 June 2005 21:15 (UTC)

Discussion
- Add any additional comments
- I was expecting this to be a request to move it to the official name (which I wouldn't have supported)! Joe D (t) 28 June 2005 13:05 (UTC)

Economics
There isn't any information on the economics of the festival - whether it makes a profit, how it is distributed. As far as I know, it's unique in large festivals as not being run as a profit making exercise, but it's difficult to find any facts regarding this side of things.
Source
An anon user added to the paragraph on Emily Eavis:
- She has been quoted as finding the festival "difficult to manage".
I googled the quote with "Emily Eavis" and found nothing, again with "Glastonbury Festival" and found five irrelevant results. Can anybody provide a source for this? Joe D (t) 29 June 2005 13:29 (UTC)
Duplication bug
There appears to be a duplication problem. The pics are duplicated and if I edit to try to fix this the text gets duplicated too. Someone has tried to fix this before... Justinc 8 July 2005 08:40 (UTC)
