Who made the call to put him on the Jazz World...  The crowd was far too big for that stage!!!

Probably the biggest crowd I have ever seen at the Jazz World...

[Aragorn]

yep, apparently they stopped people going into the field at one point

[joelovesleeds!]

Yeah I think that was a bad call. We got as far as the far corner of the field before deciding it was a waste of time. I don't know much about Tinariwen, who were on the Pyramid at the same time, but would I be right in saying they would be suited to the JW stage? If so, a switch between the two, given popularity, seemed common sense.

This always seemed likely to happen. I assume it's because the stages are booked separately. I don't think they'll make that mistake again.

[scappaflow]

all the lazy buggers with rows and rows of seats didn't fckin help.

Really glad I made this as must have been close to getting blocked off at the gate they shut off.

Could not get anywhere near Rolf , Wrong stage by a mile. Same with Maximo Park on Thursday,You could not even get near the screens and the sound was crap....

that beatbox rap was utterly worth the no show of jake the peg and nicotine and alc a hol

It was pretty crowded in the Jazz World Stage, but I did spot several people sitting down with chairs. Am sure some of them could have stood up and packed thei chair away, reducing the congestion.

Rolf was bloody brilliant though. One of the highlights of the festival.

I have a friend with a bad back who cant stand up all day...  Spare a thought for people who arent as young and fit..

[NeilVJ]

We tried to go but got stuck in a massive queue so gave up in the end. It was a case of nobody else very popular on and the jazz world was a pretty popular area to knock about during the day even when there was not much on.

[Alcatraz]

Well went down with eFesters and we were at the back, which was probably a good thing.

Left after a few songs but got caught in the crush. Nice work by the security to stop people coming in

[harper11]

[russycarps]

Do you know who it is yet? Class.

[ollyh]

Should have swapped VV Brown (very small crowd) that morning on the pyramid for Rolf tbh, didn't get into the jazz world field until about 20 minutes into the set, by which time we had had enough of the crowds and left because it was just ridiculous.
