Paul Stokes from NME asks: What is Glastonbury Festival's future?

Paul Stokes - NME News Editor

With some acts on the Glastonbury Festival 2008 lineup having just been revealed and ticket registration opening up, Paul Stokes, News Editor at NME Magazine, has started a new online debate on this world famous festival.

Paul wants to know where you see the Glastonbury festival ending up...

Has the ticket registration process killed off the spirit of the festival?

Was it inevitable that the festival would become more commercial as the years went on?

Is there actually anything that can be done to return the 'true spirit' to the festival or should it simply be about the music?
