I throughly endorse Dingus' explanation!
I remember when I was an avid NME/MM reader in the early/mid '90s, there wasn't the big deal made of 'Glasto' (hate that abbreviation) in the press. It was just one of the festivals. In fact, from memory, there was far more talk of Reading and newer ones like Phoenix. Glastonbury was a bit old-skool, a bit crusty! I don't recall much being made of it, or at least nowhere near like it is now.
