Yes, big Bruce fan and 2009 fell flat. Wrong setlist for a Glasto crowd that wanted to sing along to Born in the USA (they had not done their research).

It fell flat for people who don't really like Bruce Springsteen other than a few hits, for fans it was a great night.

All this Bruce 2009 was rubbish is nonsense.

Bit dismissive - I don't particularly like Born in the USA but the deep cuts and lack of crowd interaction was not the one. I was far less familiar with Neil Young tbh but thought he was incredible - some headliners just 'get it' better than others.

I enjoyed Bruce in 09! The people around me didn’t… They seemed to get a bit restless until he pulled out the closing songs/encore.

Gaga in the mix would make things interesting. Baffling she hasn't been back since 2009; before she had released Fame Monster!

Joker 2 is out October so id imagine she would start doing promo for it around start of September. Maybe enough of a gap between now and then to drop an album and do a few dates?

Dunno why you keep going back if his shows are always odd

Well these will be active.

I think we can safely rule them all out headlining Glasto 2024.

If that happened everyone is going to say glasto went and turned itself into Big Weekend. 

They aren't, they would be booking 3 fresh acts

Maybe if Big Weekend suddenly had 100+ stages.

Lets me honest though, Glastonbury don't have 100 big stages, its about 12 with the rest dotted around.

I don't think those big gaps are for rest. They are to put in a second show if the first show in places sells out.

More than likely this where he only needs and every other day option.

Reckon so.   NL to England to Belgium is tiny distances compared to other countries.

So is Cork and Dublin which also has a 3 days gap, it's up the road in comparison.

Twigs for the top line of West Holts?

Ripped this from a very useful @stuartbert two hats thread from 2022. Some of it will be out of date (Sonic replaced with Levels, etc...) but you get the idea. I'd say 100+ "stages" is stretching it a tad. You're not far off your dozen main stage/venue comment, to be fair.

2. Other - Open Air - 70,000 (guess)
3. West Holts - Open Air - 35,000
4. IICON - Open Air - 15,000
5. John Peel - Tent 10,000
6. The Park Stage - Open ???
7. Acoustic - Tent - 8,000
8. Sonic- Tent - 7,000
9. Truth Stage - Open Air - 7,000
10. Funkingham Palace - 6000
11. The Glade - Semi Open - 5,000 (covered atrium)
12. The Temple - 5000
13. Cabaret- Tent - 4,450 (covered atrium)
14. The Rabbit Hole - 3,472
15. Avalon - Tent - 3,000

Interesting to consider the Park stage capacity. I’d say something in the region of 15,000? With maybe 10,000 added when something like Wet Leg happens and it’s bonkers busy (and you include the hill).

off the top of my head. Probably lots more!

Yeah, count Bruce out.

Just did the same. Stupid brain.

Lonely Hearts, Wow, Glade, Hell are through the day too. I wouldn't count the stonebridge bar

The lineup says otherwise. And I didn’t say they weren’t open in the day… I was saying there is at least a dozen big stages I only visit after midnight, so claims there are only 12 big stages at Glastonbury in total are ridiculous.

So count the amount of big stages there are.

Not sure why you aren’t counting Stonebridge. It hosts some of the biggest names in electronic music!

Pedant alert

Hell Stage is actually called The Truth stage and has been for several years.
