What sets will be more rammed this year?

[AlexOvd]

I don't think there is a thread about this. 

Out of DiRo & Macca, what concerts do you will be more busy? 

I think Sam Fender is another obvious one.

Wet leg is the obvious one

[Mark0]

Wolf Alice I can see being full on 

[Spindles]

Phoebe Bridgers is going to be stupidly rammed, she could easily pull a huge crowd on Other or the big pointy one, but for some reason they have booked her for JP.

[Acid_Haze]

Yeah I was going to say Sigrid followed by Phoebe Bridgers is gonna have the John Peel tent bursting at the seams. Hope it isn't raining when they're on.

Yep that will be pretty busy but I do think this year a lot of the popular acts are clashing with each other which may split the crowds.

Sam Fender will get the biggest crowd of a pyramid daytime act this year easily.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Got to be Sam Fender and wouldn’t be surprised if pet Shop Boys on the other on Sunday is busy. As for the smaller stages Paul Heaton and Jaqui Abbot on the acoustic stage will be rammed .  Wet Leg on the park,  maybe even the Sugababes in theAvalon could attract big crowd.

You reckon bigger than DiRo? Biggest legend slot booking since Dolly?

I'm honestly not sure you know - I think we massively over estimate their popularity on here. But I hope you're right

I think it’ll be close.

[Acid_Haze]

I feel bad for St. Vincent up against the Sam Fender/Bonobo/Khruangbin trio, I think her crowd will be small which is unfortunate.

I was thinking Heaton. How early do people think I need to be over there to get inside the tent?

[JoeyT]

McFly on the Avalon will 100% require them to shut the field.

[Acid_Haze]

Can see Self Esteem getting a big crowd at JP. On quite early in the day and up against easy life on Pyramid, who I doubt will get a large pull.

I'll definitely be there for that one.

We had thought about going from Sam fender to Paul Heaton but it’s not realistic to think that’s possible. But hey, will try it even if it means standing outside the acoustic tent. Not a stage I’m fond of, think it’s the slope of the ground 

[Joe Robinson]

I think Bicep will be pretty busy

Totally agree. When Busted played you couldn’t even get into the field it was so rammed. And that was a daytime slot from memory…

One of the weirdest placements this year I’d say. 

[nikkic]

No one mentioned O-Rod on The Other stage? 

Seems popular AF.

We're going to - happy to see it from outside and with such a long set there's plenty to see when we do make it there. Real ale and a singalong should be good, especially with no other headliners on we're bothered about

OK, race you! With a stop for beer and food.  And a wander down Williams green afterwards.

Last time beautiful south played acoustic this is what I thought. It was a good few years back, got there late and it was absolutely packed inside and out. I thought I would be happy with the sound and singalong outside, it was way to quiet for my personal proper enjoyment with any singing along drowning out the band. 

I wish I got along earlier... 

Hopefully you'll be happy with the experience and not have the regret of getting there 30 mins earlier when it finishes 🙂

if I am off bar shifts, this id my Friday plan!

Good info! Probably happy to take that risk with Sam Fender being a must see. Phoebe Bridgers was too, so it's just a shitty clash day really! Will get down there and check it out though, you never know. I have seen them a few times before so won't be hugely disappointed. 

Anyone who hasn't seen them though, they're excellent!
