Till the 1990s, the festival was one of the last bastions of the free festival movement in the country.The festival is considered a cornerstone of British Culture, with artists from established mainstream sectors as well as the underground music scene feature in the lineup. The festival has also been referenced in several songs by bands such as U2, The Waterboys, as well as Roxy Music and Nizlopi. Other references to the festival can be found in the novel A Finer End by Deborah Crombie.
