351:. This may not be the greatest source, but at least it tries to be consistent. Several of the festivals have publicity which can be considered disingenuous, in that they claim an "attendance" figure which they calculate by multiplying the daily capacity by the number of days. In the case of a multi-day camping festival that gives a false impression. Hence I have generally used the daily capacity to determine the size of the festival.
272:
this was some time ago so I can't quite remember the reason, and could have been accidental. Perhaps simply becoming a list for 'Music festivals in the United
Kingdom' is the way for this to go? I'm also not sure The Proms would even be regarded a festival? Rather a series of concerts? Certainly doesn't seem to fit in amongst these other entries. At the end of the day, like you said, I'm not sure many care. All the best.

I don't mind doing some work on it, but I'd like to understand what criteria have been or should be applied: number of attendees, significance within its genre, longevity, extant or historical, some other arbitrary measure of importance? Also to confirm that it is intended (as it appears) to include
294:
I wasn't trying to point the discussion of criteria in any particular direction, I'm just wanting to understand why the list is as it is. For example, Celtic
Connections has about 60,000 unique attendees I think, which is obviously small compared to Glastonbury or Reading, but still ten or twenty
271:
My interpretation of the title was festivals that would be considered major, rather than major in their genre. Though I admit this is up for debate, I imagine that is how many would regard this template? I imagine this was why I removed some of the entries before when tidying the template, though
236:
Is there any overarching criterion for inclusion in this template? It says it is about "Major music festivals", yet it does not include any of the largest folk festivals such as
252:, though it gives no indication that is is intended to be limited to rock and pop. Whereas some of the festivals which are included here are pretty small, hardly "major".
