For about half their set. I left because I was off my bounce and there was no sign they were coming back on. Terrible idea as it meant the railway line was completely jammed for about an hour. Not great when you’re gillispied.

Honestly the overcrowding is a massive issue imo. The festival has to learn from it's repeated f**k ups since COVID. I love the place, and have been enough times I know how to avoid crowds. I know to miss Thursday acts, secret sets unless I'm there already, and there's certain acts on smaller stages I'll go no where near (the worst thing is these are pretty glaring) But in the last few festivals I've met so many people who went to their first Glasto and won't be coming back due to the crowds. Three in our group this year absolutely hated it. The pervasive attitude of people on here that blames punters for wanting to see the bigger acts, rather then the festival itself for f**king up bookings is completely wrong. It is nobody's fault that they want to see Avril, Charlie XCX, Bicep etc. it's a music festival and we're all paying a lot to be there. I think they really should consider reducing attendees by 10% imo. Put up the prices if you have to.

Exactly this. If you really want to see an act you know is going to draw a big crowd, you have to sacrifice something and get there early. Or be at the back. Yes there were some acts who had ginormous crowds and could have been bumped up a stage, but across the whole weekend with thousands of acts there will always be some errors, the schedulers aren’t going to get everything spot on every year.

It does feel a bit like the people doing the programming are either a bit naive, or genuinely don’t realise the size and pull of some of the acts they’ve booked. Did no one stop WH bookers and say, “you know you’re probably going to have to close the field for Sugababes right?” It’s almost as if the festival itself has become blinded by the clear generational shift. Any booking which is a “throwback” for the mid 20s to 40 yr old crowd is going to get a showing. Still feels like the festival doesn’t quite foresee it. This has happened three years in a row now.
