With the Tree stage they've at least tried to provide an alternative post-headliner option in that area and made the space more interesting and likely to get people to use the space more in the day. I'm not sure ambient music is that many people's taste, of course, as much as I enjoy it myself. I noticed in the programme this year that they highlighted the SE corner and on the same page named Arcadia and Silver Hayed the SW corner. I have a feeling that both areas are going to grow to accommodate the capacity.

I can't really get my head round it to be honest. SE corner is busier than ever, even though we now have a massively revamped silver hayes and arcadia area, along with late night attractions in the park, which you would think would help ease the pressure over there. Something has to be done, but the only thing I can think off is gutting shangri la to a single stage to make room for crowd. its all very well having dozens of options in the SE corner, but Icon shows (or showed until this year) that having a big field with music in is good enough for a lot of people. I know we used to end up there by default sometimes as it was easier than squeezing the rest of the corner.

Would be good if they could negotiate for the JP/Woodsies to stay open to say 2am would suit decent sized Dance music acts. Putting a Silent Disco in somewhere like Car Henge till 5am could also draw some crowds. There just small quick fix ideas, the festival capacity will likely go back down by 7k with the next review, but that's just a drop in the ocean. Better utilisation of the site and much better thinking in stage and crowd management would work wonders.

Didn't leave Oxfield until 9pm on Monday, managed to drive through CV east and down the hill of death to PGC to pick up my friend who was camping in Orchard for Shangri-la and back up the hill and straight out!

I only went because my daughter really wanted to see them – and I thought they were brilliant – a real highlight of the weekend for me – we had a great spot – central leaning against the barrier in middle – crowd was going nuts where we were And I knew way more songs than I thought I would!
