Heilung we had to leave because the sound was a disaster. For the first few minutes no vocals and ear bleeding bass.
They improved the vocals but then still left ridiculously overloaded bass for people to deal with.
My parents said they were amazing on TV which is a shame haha
My thoughts exactly. It was a big, big ask and I think both sides obviously wanted it to go well but that was a reality that could have been realised a few years down the line, maybe.
Agree that it’s a tale as old as time that some vultures just wait in the sidelines waiting for a misstep before releasing their unhinged and offensive remarks, which they try and wrap up as a critique. Sad to see. Hilariously, a lot of people on Facebook (I know, I know) groups probably have never been to the festival. My fault for being wound up by trolls but it doesn’t stop the fact that some, very real people hold these very real opinions and they’re just as upsetting to read whether they’re trolling or not.
For about half their set. I left because I was off my bounce and there was no sign they were coming back on.
Terrible idea as it meant the railway line was completely jammed for about an hour. Not great when you’re gillispied.
Honestly the overcrowding is a massive issue imo. The festival has to learn from it's repeated f**k ups since COVID.
I love the place, and have been enough times I know how to avoid crowds. I know to miss Thursday acts, secret sets unless I'm there already, and there's certain acts on smaller stages I'll go no where near (the worst thing is these are pretty glaring)
But in the last few festivals I've met so many people who went to their first Glasto and won't be coming back due to the crowds. Three in our group this year absolutely hated it.
The pervasive attitude of people on here that blames punters for wanting to see the bigger acts, rather then the festival itself for f**king up bookings is completely wrong. It is nobody's fault that they want to see Avril, Charlie XCX, Bicep etc. it's a music festival and we're all paying a lot to be there.
I think they really should consider reducing attendees by 10% imo. Put up the prices if you have to.
