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?

Watch video – Paul Stokes from NME talking about Glastonbury:



Glastonbury Festival 2008 will be held June 27-29. Acts scheduled to play include Kings of Leon, Jay-Z, The Verve, Massive Attack, Hot Chip, Elbow, CSS, Leonard Cohen and British Sea Power.

Register to buy tickets between 9am on Friday, 1st February, 2008, until midnight on Friday, 14th March 2008. Go to Glastonbury Festivals Official Website and Registration: Glastonbury 2008 for more information. Tickets are set to go on sale at 9am on Sunday April 6th 2008.
