Is Anderson .Paak a genuine possibility? Would be top of my wish list as didn’t see him in 2017.

No reason why not, definitely could be there

Well we now have info that Sam Fender is third down Other which is a low slot for him considering his current trajectory so clearly they’re squeezing people in wherever they can and sometimes at the expense of slots they probably warrant, so yeah, might be some big acts in low slots across the board. 

There's always a few acts who end up playing quite a bit lower than you'd expect, especially on Other. Sometimes acts/managers prefer being on earlier to avoid clashing with other, bigger acts and getting a huge crowd and buzz as a result.

Yeah you’re not wrong. The 1975 being third down Other in 2016 springs to mind as they seemingly didn’t want to lose any of their crowd to Adele.

There have been some monster other stage crowds over the years for earlier spots, Rag n Bone Man?

Lewis Capaldi had a mahoosive crowd in 2019 didn’t he?

He did. Felt like Billie had the biggest from that year though, from what I saw at least.

Certainly looked massive from the telly footage.

Yes, we were there quite far back and it was busy right back to the roadway (and ice cream van!)

[kingbadger]

Neither of them as gargantuan as Craig David's horde of 2017

[westholtschic]

Jessie J was a big crowd as well

Cheers mate. 🙂

On a positive note within the next 3 weeks we'll have some sort of lineup news as confirmed by Emily last week.

Happy Monday all 🙂

I think possibly another headliner before balance payments will be about the limit then line up drop towards the end of march.

I'd hazard a guess that the first poster is going to come before the end of the balance payment window so within the next 4 weeks.

Headliner/s in the next 2 weeks.

Don't think I've ever heard of them dropping the initial poster in the middle of the balance window - but I'm sure someone will tell me for sure!

Florence had the biggest crowd I can remember on the Other in 2010, was absolutely heaving with the crowd stretching back to the camping areas, then it emptied nicely to let all the spangled cats have room to dance to Hot Chip in the sunset!! 😉

2014. This year is a funny one given the payment window is a month earlier so who knows.

Only bit of note in addition to yesterday is they have all the headliners for the next 2 years booked in.

Oh, and 2022 is going to be the best one ever.

I imagine a lot of headliners being rolled over/ re booked. My hope is Taylor is one of them.
