Biggest crowd

[Originalshez]

Was just having a ponder to myself last night as to who is going to get the largest crowd? Last 2 years it's probably been the Saturday headliner (Killers and then JZ) but I'm not so sure about this year. Will it be the usuals on the Pyramid, or will someone come out of Left field and pull in a ridiculous crowd elsewhere?

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that Rolf Harris has had the biggest crowd ever at glastonbury a few years ago so it could well be him again. Of the headliners I expect Blur will have the biggest crowd.

The Boss, hands down

Blur brige the generation gap the best, but the Boss will attrack alot of people out of curiosity. Could go either way. IMO, especially if he clashes with Doves and whoever is on the Other Stage, and if plays alot of slower acoustic stuff on a FRIDAY NIGHT>?!?!?!?!?! madness if u ask me, Neil Young won't have a lot at all. Slot definately doesn't fit the act. If all 3 headliners were free on all three nights, BLur and Young would surely be swapped.

It'll be Blur as they cover the generation gap better and the fact they are one of the biggest British bands for years. Bruce and Neil will have big crowds but will be top heavier with older generations therefore smaller crowds than Blur.

I think you underestimate people's curiousity about Glasto main headliners in general. Normally I wouldn't go near Jay Z but last year I wondered what all the fuss was about.

I think a lot of other people were the same too. Likewise I think a lot of younger people will turn up to see if BS is any good or not - reckon there will be a lot of converts after the set.

I think the Fleet Foxes are going to draw a massive crowd, it will be similar to the first year the Killers played in the JP and the tent and outside were rammed to the rafters.

The Specials are also going to be a big pull

[scudetto_boy]

Brian Wilson 2005, the Pyramid crowd was MASSIVE!!

Regards Blur, think much will depend on the other stage headliner; if it's the traditional dance act like in previous years, then I think that'll split the crowd a lot.

Reckon it will be The Boss but if (as I'm sure was rumoured) Lady GaGa headlines OS on the Sunday, then it could be Blur as I reckon she would be playing to a practically empty field.

I think Blur or Rolf if they end up booking him.

Rolf Harris?? Are you serious? haha! I havent heard him mentioned in yonks!

Actually it will be cool to sing along to all the songs we used to have to sing in primary school... Thats if he still sings the aussie tracks..? with his wobble board?

great now ive got one stuck in my head..... "keep me cockatoos cool, Curl"

[The Badger Bites Back]

When they get round to booking ROLF, he will again pull in the biggest crowd of the weekend!

And so he should................ They would be crazy not to book him!!!!

Rolf!

Or if the unthinkable happens and he isn't booked then probably Bruce.

[Originalshez]

I hope it's Bruce. I think if he plays a couple of big ones early doors he'll keep the crowd for the duration.

Bound to be ROLF!
