Is it possible to imagine a state funded music festival with nominal ticket prices and subsidies food and drink?

One that's accessible to the many, not just the few?

Has this ever been tried anywhere else?

Since it's not been said, you do know that originally Glastonbury was a Free festival? Like no charge for entry at all? Even after they added a gate fee back in the very early 80s it was still affordable and Eavis gave any profit to a designated charity - CND originally later Greenpeace.
Back in '81 when I first went we ended up camped by a large bunch of miners on holiday. They reckoned, correctly then, that Glastonbury etc. were the poors equivalent of buggering off to the Med, except you could hitchhike to your holiday destination. Of course back then it was much smaller and to be honest I couldn't bear to go now, far too many people, loving cash machines, phone chargers on site and a police presence. Nope. So much loving mess and the horrible concept of the 'disposable festival tent and wellies' (is not disposable is simply abandoned in field or where bus drops you off).
Shame it got so popular with people who missed the point. It's not about everyone going to one festival so it becomes a bloated tented city for a week - if I want a city I'm not heading into the countryside - it is (was) about having several small festivals going on at once spread across the country. Course the Public Order laws hosed that right up.

communism bitch posted:

the only good festival was Fyre. And I venture to suggest that that was the actually the finest festival in the history of humanity because a bunch of rich bourgie fucks ended up crying about how it was literally (in the sense of not at all) like a war zone.

I still reckon that Fyre is one of the funniest pieces of performance art ever.

In the past they've always been smart enough to fund the police and military but maybe this latest crop really are stupid enough to not do that.

Maybe they bought their own bullshit about how they're actually doing it for the country and everyone including the people with guns has to bear the cross of austerity (exceptions available for rich job creators of course), and forgot that they're actually in the party of extracting tributes from the plebs at gunpoint.

Canterbury council was completely left-fielded last year with the arrival of thousands of people for the oyster festival, noted for its oysters and the odd nice stout. These thousands of people were really loving upset when there were no bands or bars open late or anything because it was an oyster festival. It was a surreal experience, walking around a town completely overrun with people who had no idea why they were there.

yeah it was absurd, a crowd of people way past what those tiny streets can cope with walking from minisupermarket to minisupermarket drinking beer and shouting "this is poo poo" to each other. I think there were two or three acts of violence, and so the council ordered the oyster festival banned. A couple of local businesses have hired bands and said they'll host it anyway, gently caress the government.

WARNING to those attending New Empire LGBT event in Barrow tonight Police have received intelligence this evening (23rd June) that a man is planning to attack people attending an LGBT event at New Empire, Dalton Road, Barrow, tonight. Police are urging people who were planning to attend to let their friends know, and consider staying at home instead as a precaution. The event is scheduled to take place between 9pm tonight into the early hours of tomorrow morning. Armed police are in area as a precaution, and police are working hard to trace this man.

Police can confirm that the male they were looking for in Barrow has been found and arrested.

A 19 year old man from Barrow was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and is now being taken to police custody.

Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.

Superintendent Mark Pannone said:

“I would like to thank everyone for their assistance and vigilance tonight. Cumbria Police’s priority is always to keep people safe. There is now no threat to anyone or any specific group in the south Cumbria area.”

I had seen some of the fallout the morning after when I wandered through and the place was absolutely destroyed, but I had never heard the reason why it was so bad. Herne Bay's festivals started the next weekend or so whch led to the absurd situation where they had boosted security so much for the lantern festival that there was more security there than people.
