I personally think Fred again is only on after R&L because he is a dance act and the two are actually more co headliners as opposed to headliner and glorified sub, hence both being on the top line of the poster
A few years back, Roskilde changed their days to have the music schedule running a day earlier, and the festival ends overnight on Saturday/Sunday morning rather than Monday, and everyone leaves Sunday latest.
Anyone else think this could work for Glastonbury? Ie. Open on Tuesday, run the main stages Thurs-Sat?
I always find Sundays really melancholy - a lot of stuff ends up starting to close down on Sunday afternoon, and half the place empties by the time the headliners are done. I wonder if it's a mental thing with the existential dread of Monday looming?
Thoughts?
Based upon non-coach tickets (they could remain unchanged), I'm spit-balling on the numbers here, but something like:
Wednesday-entry: £375 (60% capacity)
Thursday-entry: £360 (80% capacity)
Friday-entry: £350 (100% capacity)
Not only would it regulate capacity when there's less on but it would also spread traffic flow, too.
As I said before, it could get confusing and there's bound to be people who take the piss and purposely turn up early in the hope they are let in. A flawed idea, but an idea nonetheless.
