Lots of great artists play to tiny turnouts. Transformers 3 made a billion dollars at the box office, does that make it a great movie? The National barely filled a quarter of the other stage, are they a bad band? Cyndi Lauper was packed to the rafters, she couldn’t carry a tune in a wheel barrow. I think everyone needs to get over the whole SZA situation. Maybe it was a misguided booking, but it’s happened now and it wasn’t exactly the Hiderburg Disaster, was it? It’s not going to ruin the festival’s reputation as some catastrophists have suggested. The BBC aren’t committing nefarious acts of conspiracy or trying to pull the wool over your eyes when they refuse to pan their cameras to empty spots of the crowd. To do so would be distasteful, mean spirited and serve absolutely zero purpose - other than maybe embarrass a performer for having the temerity to….headline a music festival? it’s over now, the sky hasn’t fallen. Some naff dad rock band or milquetoast novelty act will probably play next year and all will be forgotten.

Agreed on this. Black Pumas was similar. The wood chip situation at Holts was however mental. Hard agree. Biffy at the Park in 2010 (?) Was the first one where it was widely leaked IIRC and that was mad busy. Overall, I thought it was less crowded than the last 2, so something they did worked. -
Strange. I was sat at the back on the right hand side of the track having some food and the sound was bang on.

I think what I’d say is that I felt the crowd control was really good and typically quite proactive (closing stages quite quickly for example and stepping into stop the bicep set when things were starting to get out of control). Not sure I’d trust all festivals to take those measures at the right time. I guess Bicep presumably there was better crowd control they could have done to avoid it getting to the situation it did, but when they stepped in, they did so in a really calm and sensible way. The main issue was they were largely caused by scheduling issues of their own making. Think the most bonkers one was putting Avril on an hour after Shania on two different stages. Should almost have been a back to back legends slot on the pyramid, as it was they asked half the festival to get up and move from a to b at the same time. Again, they dealt with that well with the one way system, but still could have been a problem easily avoided.
