I often avoid the Pyramid because it gets far too busy for me. Really appreciated the space at SZA's set and it just seemed to be full of nicer people. Chilled vibe, everyone into it, not full of talkers or coked up idiots. Enjoyed it a lot. -
I don't see where you are seeing this massive amount of negativity? People are saying SZA as Pyramid headliner didn't work. I don't really see that as arguable, given the tiny crowd. People are discussing why that happened, and the vast majority of people don't think it's because SZA is sh*t. Most of us want her to have had a bigger crowd. So it's a question of why that didn't happen? It's not coming from a negative place. Same for the Janelle and Avril situation. What we all want was for 1) Janelle to have had a bigger crowd because she's great and 2) for everyone who wanted to see Avril to have been able to see Avril. This isn't mostly coming from a place of negativity, it's what went wrong and what can be improved. It's not saying it was a bad festival. Indeed, but you have to play the hand you're dealt right? You can't just blame the audience and carry on regardless. They tried something on the Sunday and, sorry to say, it didn't work. They figured SZA would get a much bigger crowd if they made her headliner, and she didn't. The vast majority of people here aren't saying "therefore please just book 90s/00s rock bands for headliners". We're saying we want the festival to be able to elevate new, exciting acts up to headliner status, but that didn't work here. There's no point them just doing the same thing next year, because most likely it just won't work again. I want it to work. And it has worked before. So the question is why it didn't work next year, and how that can be fixed so it can work in the future. But just pretending it was all fine doesn't help. If the festival has that attitude, they'll book a similar act next year, put them in the same slot, and have another mostly empty field. That benefits no-one.

Yeah the mix for Shania was much better in the field. Sounded great there, I had a really good time. Her vocal issues are quite well documented - she had an illness which completely destroyed her voice, had to have vocal surgery and learn to sing from scratch. She's said that it's a difficult decision about whether to mime and sound closer to the recordings or do it live but sound how she now does. I much prefer a live rough vocal than a clean mimed one, fair play to her for carrying on. -

All Together Now - Ireland - No arena - Can bring alcohol wherever you want - Various food/comedy/art/poetry/wellness things - several smaller stages going until 4am (and a few unofficial ones later) - set in the grounds of a country estate, plenty of wooded areas and scenery -25k capacity, age profile similar to Glastonbury, skews more towards mid-20s upwards, probably mostly people in their 30s but a good mix of all ages lineup this year: Times/stages for last year: https://clashfinder.com/s/atn2023/ -
I agree with a lot of that. I'm more relieved than excited but looking forward to seeing Tories lose their seats. I can't condemn Labour for wanting to persuade Tory voters to change because that's the only way they can win. They may have gone too far but perceptions of the party after Corbyn were very poor. I still think Labour will do more of what I want in office.
