The DJ argued that the planning and organisation that now goes into the event means it's not as 'crazy and exciting' as it was a decade ago.
Da Bank, who organises Bestival on the Isle of Wight, said his annual bash is more akin to the old spirit of Glastonbury.
He is quoted as saying: "When my wife and I used to set off on the spur of the moment and go fence-jumping into Glastonbury 10 or 11 years ago, it felt so crazy and exciting.
"I think, unfortunately, Glastonbury's lost some of the feeling now. It's still the best festival in the world, but it all has to be planned and organised.
"With the fancy dress and the inflatable church and just our general crazy, eccentricity, I think we've got that old vibe back at Bestival."
