CR77 Posted Tuesday at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:31 AM I love Avalon, great size and atmosphere - really helps being close to the stage. I always come away from Glasto with an Avalon set being part of my highlights. Things like Frank Turner, Bananarama, Reef, Elvana, Neville Staple, and Lulu spring immediately to mind. Even though some Avalon acts could do an outdoor TV stage, I prefer to see them in the Avalon tent for atmosphere etc. If rumours about Shed Seven are true, I hope they'll be headlining Avalon rather than afternoon Other Stage - even though a TV slot is better for the band. How about this... maybe some bands could consider doing both an afternoon Other slot (for TV) AND headline Avalon?! Or is that just mad?! Might be an option, given some artists play multiple (but admittedly lower-key) sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's certainly been done a few times before, although with an afternoon Pyramid slot, 2007 The Waterboys headlined Avalon Friday, Acoustic Saturday, then played an early afternoon slot on the Pyramid on the Sunday. I don't recall the circumstances behind it, whether one of the headliners was as a fill-in for someone who pulled out, or whether it was something they asked for? 2008 Seasick Steve headlined the Acoustic and then played afternoon Pyramid. There'll be a fair few others I'm sure. Edited Tuesday at 01:37 PM by Dark Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
