Overcrowding candidates/ acts booked too low

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair - mine are also only my experience. And there was definitely also a huge crowd crust as I left to get a drink and negotiating back to my original spot front left was certainly the busiest I've ever seen that field.

[Acid Loafers]

Barry's the biggest one I can see. Will it be worse than Wet Leg?

Avril will be fine imo, Rag & Bone man had more hype imo. Biggest I've ever seen that field.

Didn't consider Justice at first, but agree it will be busy, can't imagine it being dangerous though. But might be underestimating how many people are into them & don't have an alternative thing to watch.

That's going to be a ghost town.

Janelle isn't a draw....if they clash it'll definitely increase Avril's crowd 

Janelle and Avril clashing would literally be my worst ever Glastonbury clash.

I've been to 100s of gigs and a fair few festivals, and Example last year was the only time I've ever been concerned about my safety at a show. Absolutely mental cowd numbers, was genuinely quite scary

Was that at the Glade?

It'd definitely suck. But I wouldn't stress at this stage as still a lot that's unknown in terms of placement.

Yeah, was my first time at Glasto so was unsure of how to get to The Glade, and was met with what felt like an Elton sized crowd completely filling up every pathway in and out of it. The overspill sent people all over the place, and a few of my firends that aren't as savvy with big crowds were understandably pretty nervous. We just left and had some bevvies on the hill instead

Haven't seen it mentioned yet but I think Jungle on WH is going to be absolutely rammed, as I dont think idles or dua will be a huge draw considering the stages they are on

Only household name at that time on Thursday - it was absolute carnage.

I think Dua might suprise people … 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dua will be hoaching. Don't think that will surprise many people.

Where we were for Wet Legg felt worse than where we were TLC. Both crazy busy

Reading this thread has just made me having Vietnam flashbacks to Example at Glade last year. That was horrific. Got absolutely rammed very quickly and became near impossible to move out of as everyone was still pushing to try get closer to the stage

We spent Thursday night at the Glade bar but must have got down there after Example as didn't notice any mayhem!

JUNGLE on West Holts.

How on earth aren't they on the Pyramid?

That was bizarre hahaha. 

It was insanity how busy it was.

TLC was very busy - but not unsafe.

Huge difference between the two.

We never realised quite how unsafe Rolf was...

My understanding is that WH were delighted that TLC overtook Rolf as their busiest ever act.

Yes agreed that Barry Can’t Swim seems v low down. Hopefully won’t be a repeat of Wet Leg which is only time I can remember going to see a band and literally not being able to get near it. Couldn’t see or hear them from where we could get to so we left.
 

I’m also surprised Nothing But Thieves are so low down The Other. Not sure it will be a huge crowd problem, just think they belong a bit higher up.

I think Kenya Grace is  a potential crowding issue one. She seems low and at woodsies as well
