Glastonbury festival-goers shocked by inflated drink prices

In the upcoming Glastonbury festival, campers and festival-goers are advised to prepare for mostly warm, dry, and settled weather over the next five days, with the possibility of scattered showers starting from day one and continuing through the weekend, as forecasted by the Met Office. The event will feature headline performances from global stars like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Sza, and Shania Twain. Attendees shared their excitement, with one festival-goer expressing the unique magic of Glastonbury that sets it apart from other festivals. The festival lineup includes acts such as Rock band Squeeze, Olivia Dean, K-pop group Seventeen, and singer Paul Heaton on the Pyramid Stage. The final day will see performances by Interlinked Ballet, Seasick Steve, Paloma Faith, and Shania Twain. Despite the promising weather forecast, revellers have criticized the high prices of drinks at the festival, with a pint of beer costing £6.75 and other beverages priced significantly higher than in previous years. Food prices at the festival have also raised eyebrows, with reports of a chicken burger and fries costing £15, or £18 for a double. Some attendees expressed shock and disbelief at the steep prices, especially for basic food items like chips. However, others seemed unfazed, with one festival-goer commenting that the prices were still better than those at their local establishments. Overall, Glastonbury attendees are gearing up for a weekend of music, entertainment, and potentially unpredictable weather conditions. While the lineup promises exciting performances from a range of artists, concerns have been raised about the escalating costs of food and drinks at the festival, prompting mixed reactions among those preparing to immerse themselves in the Glastonbury experience.
