When I went to Glastonbury in the early 2000s it was a proper independent festival worth getting excited about. I'm sorry to say it's so mainstream now. Lizzo? Please!! She already said she doesn't make music for white or is she working on one of the food stalls? Don't they have Coachella for that kind of thang?
