One of the best Glastonburys I've been to. Had a really fun time, saw loads of great stuff and performances. Also apart from one morning and the car-to-camp on Wednesday I didn't suffer too much at all. The Good Probably the best year for seeing so many good / great performances Enough to lots of space at stages for nearly every act I went to see (also see The Bad). Rimski's Yard - good fun and a bit strange. Nice to escape the crowd madness of a lot of other late night places. Found this place by accident in 2022. Glasto Latino The weather. Woodsie's was nice The Arcadia dragonfly Lonely Hearts Club evolution Tipi field fire area The Bad Mostly cheesy / crap nostaglia acts drawing massive crowds. I'm not sure people even genuinley enjoy these things or just go for the sake of going. Cut down and prevent the massive crowds which are proving a bit unmanageble. Can't comment on the SEC as I didn't go at all as it's not for me, but don't basically announce or have massive acts in small venues. Glastonbury on Sea - still not sure it's worth the hassle and cost. I went for a 10 minute walkaround between acts on the Park on Sunday. Take the helter Skelter back to Avalon and give it some identitiy back. It feels on it's way out and will end up being swallowed by yet another dance area 🙄 The woodchip everywhere was unneccesary but easy to say in hindsight. They got a bit trigger-happy putting all that down in advance. Not much bad for me really as the crowd thing didn't personally affect me really except trying to leave Greenpeace after Lynks, but must have been annoying / worrying to be caught up in if you were. -
It's a great piece with some very interesting points. Of the 3 most recent festivals I went to last year, and although the site was busier than I remember from my previous visits I don't really remember any massive crowd issues. It seems that this year may have been as a result of poor programming and 2022 possibly as a post covid hangover, but as these problems become more pronounced it becomes clearer that something needs to change.

Much as it would be one for the history books, it's the stage that would be the problem. They famously brought their own to Download, didn't they? Cannot see any logistical workaround, unless their current production is considerably slimmed. -

Surprised Springsteen isn't higher considering he's the only one with big outdoor dates around those weeks already announced -

Slightly unrelated, I was stood at the back of Other waiting for a friend before TDCC and the sheer amount of people either walking along looking at their phone, shouting into their phone to their mate where they were, texting/scrolling on their phone to whoever or just walking with it in their hand was incredible. I saw people walk into each other because both parties were on their phones and people weren't looking where they were going or where the crowds were as they were looking at their phones. One girl walked past me into a set of bins because she was texting rather than looking where she was walking. I know its a worldwide problem and not specifically at Glastonbury,(and yes I use mine too) but if people just put them down in their pockets for a few minutes and looked at what they were (trying) to do I think things would improve somewhat with movement across the site.
