Glastonbury pays bands 'less than 10%' of what they'd earn elsewhere - BBC News http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40273111 I'd no idea that was how it worked! Didn't know a thing about it because I never gave it much thought lol. |

That will only be for the big name bands on the main stage(s). If they paid the smaller bands a similar percentage of their usual fee they'd be essentially playing for free. |

I'm sure the Eavis family would be happy for them to. They've done a nice PR job - benevolent farmer gives over land so kids can have a good time - but the stories I've heard from people directly involved with Glastonbury speak of a more... businesslike attitude. |

The old “we can’t afford to pay you much, but it’ll be exposure and will look good on your portfolio” speil taken to entirely new levels. And, yes, I did read the bit about charity. That’s a line often used too. |
