Blur-basisten Alex James tonar ner Glastonbury som en stökig drogfest

Blur-basisten Alex James har beskrivit Glastonbury-festivalen som en stökig drogfest och menar att den är kraftigt överskattad jämfört med andra evenemang. I en ny intervju lyfte han fram festivaler som Roskilde i Danmark som mer civiliserade alternativ.

Alex James delade med sig av kommentarerna under en intervju med The Times. Han sa att folk agerar som om Glastonbury är världens enda festival och kontrasterade den med underskattade evenemang som Roskilde, vilken han beskrev som en underbar magisk H.C. Andersen-saga på grund av dess matutbud och faciliteter.
