Just wondering who pulled the most punters in basically...

Bruce looked like he had a massive crowd judging from the screens but I was 3 rows back so couldn't really take it all in. Blur also appeared to have the whole festival watching them when I was trudging back from The Prodigy

Anyone know?

blur, by a long long way. and the loudest

I thought Bruce had a massive crowd. But I never watched Blur so I can't really say.

[sweaver]

blur definitely - it was packed out right to the right fence.  not sure about the other side though

[random_man]

Kasabian by a long way I thought! Both Bruce and blur was quiet in comparison

[Storm_NL]

Ooooh, I don't know about Blur...

What about Rolf?

Maximo Park on Thursday was fairly massive. I got in, too.

me too, i was so chuffed that all my group were able to get in. the gig was superb!! clearly not the biggest crowd of the weekend though!

surely it was blur?

[mynameisearl]

Plenty of space up the back of Blur. (which was good as I wanted space for a good dance!)  

Was also up the back for Bruce and Madness and it's very difficult to tell which of these two had the bigger crowd, place was rammed!

Actually... that's not a bad bet...
Opening act, and the only thing happening at that time..  I was aware of the crowd edges being well into "town" and up Muddy Lane..

Both Bruce and Rolf commanded a massive crowd. Rolf's crowd was easily big enough to fill the Pyramid field.

He should've been on the Pyramid, there were a few bands on there that didn't have that much of a crowd and would have been more suitable elsewhere.
I was looking forward to seeing him but couldn't get anywhere near to see him.

if he'd have played the Pyramid, I'm 100% sure he'd have been the biggest going by the fact that the Jazzworld field was at capacity for him.

Jazz Field for Rolf was mental, i only lasted 3 songs before the heat got the better of me there.

Hear, hear.  I managed to get to see Rolf but half a dozen others I know couldn't even get into the Jazzworld field it was so crowded.  Next time Rolfie for The Pyramid.

Oh for f**ks sake, lets hope that this is the last of him at Glastonbury, on any stage. Tedious f**king nonsense.

[IRISHMANC]

These all seemed to have MASSIVE crowds

Dizzee
Bruce- although alot of people left mid set
Tom Jones
Kasabian

didn't see Blur but judging by the Prodigy numbers imagine it would have been them

[guyfawkes]

Anyone who watch Tom Jones missed an awesome set from yeah yeah yeahs!

according to the head-in-the-sand Springsteen nutters, that'll have been cos they wanted a piss or to go to the bar, not cos his direness drove them away.

Without a doubt....
It was hell even trying to get near the Jazzworld..

There were people in the next field standing on top of all kinds of stuff (including other people) just to get the chance to see him....

I can't think for the life of me why they put him on there at that time of the morning, when there were much much smaller crowds for other Pyramid acts during the festival...
