Wasn't talking about crowd sizes at glasto - just meant size in general.
Will leave this there though - myself and Superscally won't agree on this
Block me then if you don't want my input 😂
I will post what i want thanks for your concern
I think Janelle Monae is pretty niche. As we have discussed, Spotify metrics can trick you into thinking someone is "bigger" than they are, but I'm surprised to see Tightrope (which I'd guess is in her top 5 most "commercial" songs) only has 49m plays. Think we can all agree Pyramid wasn't the right place for her. Avril Lavigne by contrast is easily identifiable as "fun"/"wouldn't attend a specific gig but if she's at Glastonbury I will see her" and pop punk/emo (don't anyone get on their high horse and come after me for that genre generalisation) has a huge UK audience.
From the Glastonburys I've attended, there's certainly a part of the demographic that wants to get smashed on if possible the Wednesday, certainly the Thursday, with the music almost an inconvenience. So not surprising plenty of folk are burst by the Sunday. Not saying it's right or wrong.
I don't agree there's no reputational impact of a Sunday exodus. SZA's team certainly isn't going to have encouraging words for any act considering the Sunday evening.
