Its the standard go-to if you need to fill a gap. The standard of performer is excellent, most acts i havent heard of have been at least good and in many cases wonderful!

MrZigster Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Another couple of thoughts regarding The Cabaret Tent: During the big name acts, when it gets so packed that it's "full", and there are people standing outside at the entrances/exits straining to hear what's going on (thanks unnecessarily loud sound bleed from Mavericks/Attention Seekers etc.(why the fuck do they always seem to be louder than the main stage in the field? Madness)). I know beforehand the comperes generally ask people to shuffle forward to make more room, but they could fit a hell of a lot more people in if, at the start of said big names set, said big name pointed out that if everybody in the tent stood up off of their arses they could probably accommodate everybody outside straining to hear. It'll only be thirty minutes, forty max. (The fire stewards may have something to say about that though). No one is sitting down all set in The Acoustic if it's rammed are they. Also, still don't get why it still doesn't have the same kind of tiered seating at the back a la Astrolabe. (Possibly because everyone would gravitate to a seat for everything and the floor space would be empty for most acts. Much bigger floor space/distance to stage than Astrolabe).

Fingerbobs Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I'm a massive fan of The Cabaret Tent and have spent hours in there, usually ending the day with the last few sets given it goes on til the wee hours. Last year, however, it felt like it had run its course a bit. This was especially so during a painful set from Steven Hughes (I think that's his name) who thought it a good idea to use his time to moan aloud how he assumed he'd be cancelled from the likes of Glasto and was amazed he had the call to perform, interspersed with asking how long he had left. Complete tosspot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
