Unbelievable stuff. I'm sure it will be looked at but I don't think it will be overturned. Pidcock was in front when they came together.

I recommend that firstly you get in touch with the festival you are attending to see what accessible assistance they may be able to offer. Please be mindful that this is usually only for people with permanent disabilities which is certainly the case at Glastonbury Festival. If you are looking to hire a mobility scooter I would suggest doing a search on Google for the areas you mentioned in your post. Please also bare in mind that a mobility scooter will need charging at a festival so I also recommend that you research how to do this too. Good luck! -
Pretty much echo'ing the above. The headliners definitely lacked the punch of previous years. Paulo is a great vocalist, but in a field mainly consisting of casuals, that slower style of music in a 2 hour set was hard to really get into. Playing his more well known songs about half way through was unusual choice as well. I did enjoy the last couple of songs which had more of an upbeat edge to them. I'd never heard them before but they certainly recovered a set which i otherwise would have felt a little disappointed with. Jamie T, I've always thought was a bit overrated. He did a good job of confirming my suspicions with a very lackluster set, he clearly didn't want to be there and the band we're doing all the leg work... lets not have him back please. Snow Patrol were good. Felt sorry for Gary as he had the sun right in his eyes for the first hour of the set, loved his stage presence and little honest comments between songs. You can tell they are well seasoned in the circuit, very professional and still a brilliant act. The undercard was weaker than last year but Tom Grennan and Example were our highlights. Got a good atmosphere going and brought a proper festival feel to the place. We missed Sophie Ellis Bextor on the Friday, but i heard nothing but positivity from those who saw her as well. I keep hoping this year suffered as a result of all the money they poured into fixing the park, rather than greed from our corporate overlords. Maybe next year the lineup will feel a bit fuller again. The 1 hour gap between acts and stage timings were very noticeable. I don't think we've ever had large gaps where there's literally no-one playing on any of the 3 main stages at the same time. It has a knock on effect in terms of food stalls as well. With everyone keen to not miss the few bigger act, everyone piled in to grab food at the same time, resulting in wait times of well over an hour. We still had a good weekend, the price of a nice warm can of lager wasn't too offensive and the food quality was a smidge better than previously. Tramlines is usually our only festival of the year, we've only ever missed one in its entire history, but i am left thinking maybe its time to look elsewhere for next year, dependent on the lineup.

All valid points, but it's worth pointing out that GC is a direct replacement for what used to be The Town Centre, and this didn't always have a huge amount of dance music acts on it. The bookers would probably argue that SBTRKT are this years dance act on that stage, even if they probably aren't the same level as Leftfield or the current popularity of Overmono. In terms of lack of major headline size acts this year, I do wonder if the expected inclusion of Lions Den again next year has impacted that. To be honest, The Prodigy at Grand Central would be a health and safety nightmare. It was packed for Cypress Hill last year, and The Prodigy would be busier, so wonder if they have parked that booking until they have the natural space of the Lions Den bowl back again. This is just my opinion, and have no inside knowledge on this front, but it kind of makes sense.
