The Glastonbury 2025 Crowd Size Debate Thread

[Talcroft]

Gotta take it when you can get it when the algorithms do that to you! 

The sort of act I wouldn't have dreamed of seeing when she was new (indie sleaze youth) but now would very much enjoy pretending I was there first time around.

Natasha would be a solid booking, and I'd definitely consider seeing her.

I don't think she'd outgun Avril, and plenty depends who she plays against.

 

But a very solid Other booking.

[Badlands]

Being closer to 50 than 40, and having seen Lavignes and Janelle’s crowds  this year on tv, I don’t feel confident predicting anything anymore.

[NorthernSoul52]

There were a few shockingly disproportionate crowds. 

 

My prediction - if Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds do play, it'll be smaller than we think.

Everything crossed for Nick Cave to play 🤞🏻

Faith will be rewarded, with any luck.

Natasha Bedingfield in Avril's slot could be massive. Singalong Sunday.

I'd expect her more early pyramid ala Rick Astley this year.

 

Thing with avril is she was hardly touring at all, for around a decade too. Natasha has been everywhere recently / in recent years.

 

I'd 100% be at natasha clashes permitting, avril really was the perfect storm as she was against nothing of much draw

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, there was a bit of a rarity factor in that one.
