Which stage is winning for you?

[1986]

Was gonna do a poll but your opinion may obviously change as things develop.

 

For me its neck and neck between West Holts and Park with 6 acts each. 

 

Last place is probably Avalon though Acoustic doesn't have much for me either.

 

You?

[gfa]

Probably other - which is to be expected. good mix of pop and indie

[Blisterpack]

Acoustic. 8

pyramid. 6

west holts 5

avalon 4

other 3

park 2

woodsies 1

 

though I rarely see more than 10 all weekend. 

[Avalon_Fields]

First: West Holts (As per most years).

 

Last: The Other (As per most years. Obviously they have some acts I like, but...).

I admit to being biased as I get a privileged place to watch the bands up on Park Stage. but regardless of that Still a really eclectic and interesting line up - bit of something for everyone there  there is at least 7 things I'd be unhappy to have  shift clash with.

I won't actually see all these because it would be ridiculous but from my long list the stage split currently looks like this:

 

Other = 6

Woodsies = 5

Pyramid = 4

Park = 3

West Holts = 3

Avalon = 3

You forgot those 8 at Acoustic….

all pretty good but not amazing. plenty of walking this year if I get in!! im still annoyed (if true) that the avalon cafe has been scrapped. i was only just getting over wills green. times are hard and when so many tools keep saying its not about the music for them this sh*t is going to happen. then those same people will complain about it. come in its glasto...it is about the music really. music isnt.the only thing but its a big thing

[fakeplastictrees2000]

The Park is definitely winning for me, which has not been the case before. Annoying that unless you have a prime spot the park is not the best stage

As Nigel Clough didn't say, I wouldn't say music is the best thing about Glastonbury...but it's in the top one

I spend a lot of time at The Park. As long as you're in front of the sound desk, I've only ever found the sound to be really good, if not excellent (though I do find that it is a little susceptible to wind), and it's steadily improved over the years. Also, given that it's about the only stage that slopes down to the stage, your view is fantastic! And your back doesn't hurt too much, either!

looking at all the lineups next to each other id prob plump for woodsies if pushed 

[Ben7amin_]

I have to say the Park stage aswell. 

I think its probably been the best line up of the big stages for me basically every Glastonbury I've been to. 

 

Hardly ever watch anything on the Pyramid but LCD + Simzy could tempt me there this year. 

[jadedj]

Probably the other stage (same as last year for me) but definitely liking more stages this year 

[Johnnyseven]

The Glade, even with no announcements so far.

This is the kind of conviction that I can get on board with. 

[CharlotteB]

Acoustic Stage. Does that make me an OAP? Avalon is cool too.

[DJL]

West Holts for quality but I’m surprised to say Avalon and Acoustic are next and maybe even have a higher quantity of acts I wouldn’t mind seeing.

[4AssedMonkey]

As it stands:

 

1. Avalon (By a mile)

2. W Holts.

3. Everything else

4. Acoustic 

 

Sounds like I’m in a minority, but Avalon is brilliant this year. The only stage line up I’m genuinely excited about.

[Watergirl]

West Holts.

This is a fair point. My times at the park have either been when it was relatively quiet so obviously the sound and the view were great or when it was far too busy so wasnt worth being there. Really looking forward to spending more time there this year

[nikkic]

West Holts for me. Which has been the same as the past few years of the big 5.

 

Fully expect Silver Hayes to be the pick of the bunch though. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

West Holts used to be (and prob still is) a standard go to before I became more organised.

 

My top 5 now would be:

1. West Holts

2. Other

3. SEC

4. Woodsies

5. Other

Was it not Brian Clough that didn’t say that? 😊😉
