"I think this is the quickest way of clearing my overdraft"

That statement from Michael Eavis (founder of the festival) kind of hits home with a recent story from The Independent in how bands are settling for less, or even paying to play at the festival - as an investment. Being shown on the BBC as part of their coverage can make or break the experience (and their economy).

I was caught climbing the fence at Glastonbury when I was last there. The police made me go back in and finish watching.
