I don't know why I thought of this, but I was looking at the crowd and thinking "Where are all the non-white (for lack of a better word) people"?
Almost every face I've seen in the crowd is white. Without freeze frame I'd guesstimate a good 95% of the crowd we see is white. Britain's a multi-cultural society, apparently. At an event this size and type, I'd expect to see a very mixed crowd.
Can anyone shed any light on this completely unscientific obversation?

I don't know, just a guess really.

As can the type of music being played etc.
Also not having friends to go with / not wanting to spend huge ammounts of time trying to get tickets.
If you want the other end of the spectrum, try going to the Notting Hill Carnival, where a very large proportion of the crowd isn't white.

You go outside the cities and it's a lot rarer to spot someone non white.

None of the reasons I've seen, had suggested to me or thought of seem to cover it other than the "it's the type of music" argument.

Also it's one of those things, some people from ethnic minorities see racism in that they feel that they would be the only non white people there and feel worried by this and wouldn't go.
Besides if you look at the cost of going to the festival, that would go a long way towards a 2 week holiday staying with relatives in the country you are originally from.
