John Lydon complains about dull festivals

John Lydon has claimed that music festivals should go back to their roots - because they are no longer fun or exciting.

The Sex Pistols star admitted that he was shocked and disappointed when he performed at the BT Isle of Wight Festival last month.

"I was remembering festivals in the 70s and how crazy mad they used to be and great fun," Lydon told the Daily Star. "This lot were deckchairs, posh Butlins - what I was performing to was polite schoolteachers. But it's all right because it's not the kids that need education - it's that lot.

"I didn't go to Glastonbury because what's that without the hippies and the rave?"

Lydon launched an attack on Coldplay last month, describing the band as "utterly humourless".
