clashfinder

[sisco]

Apart from the headliners take the clash finder with a pince of salt.

For instance Kenny Rogers will be on pyramid at 3pm on Friday after Jake Bugg.

Early days, but hopefully Foals and Bastille won't clash. When there's only about 3 bands you want to see on each day, it's annoying if half of them are on at the same time.

I guess the question is.... How do u know?

[coma girl]

Without going on the defensive I gave you information that I deem to be 99% correct. Due to work stuff I can't say how I know. However, I post stuff to help people rather than to wind up or get a reaction.

Rufus has been announced as one of the performers at this year's Glastonbury Festival (official). Rufus will take the Pyramid Stage at 2 pm on June 30. See you there?

Well going on clashfinder he's playing the Friday, so for the time being I think we are best not paying too much attention to it

[sisco]

So according to some little bits of info. Pyramid

Friday:

Arctic Monkeys

Dizzee Rascal

Kenny Rodgers

The Vaccines

Jake Bugg

Sat:

Rolling Stones

Primal Scream

Sun:

Mumford and Sons

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Rufus Wainwright

Not in any order obv. Anymore to add?

[FloorFiller]

Elvis Costello playing Ireland on the Sunday so i assume he'll be third under Primal Scream on the Saturday (considering it looks like The Vaccines are taking third on Friday, and i can't see Costello going into Dizzee Rascal somehow)

[philly_eds]

Example said last night on his twitter he's playing other stage - sat night.

Everything Everything have 28th on their website.

[Sketchead]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but the Vaccines tweeted that they'll be playing the Friday night, so 100% third from top under Dizzee and Monkeys.

Nick Cave into Mumford & Sons seems baffling to me. Totally different crowds. Maybe they'd be under Primal Scream. Subbed for Blur last time so not sure they'd want to make the step down.

I've seen it happen before but I can't say I understand it. Why would they want to have to deal with massive crowds moving from stage to stage at peak time?

because otherwise no one moves from the crowd, and it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, beyond what can be safely coped with.

They deliberately programme stuff at the top of the bill to churn the crowd to some extent, because that helps distribute everyone around all the stages.

[Messy]

Fair enough. Doesn't Primal Scream followed by The Stones go against that logic though?

[Trebor]

Primals into Stones seems to go against that theory though. In a great way, mind!

Of course, Elbow into Coldplay proved there are exceptions

yep, to some extent. I'm guessing there's an acceptance that nearly everyone will see the stones, and they don't want massive numbers flooding in just before they play.

Festival stage programming is a fine art, where crowd movements issues have to be weighed up against the issues that would be caused by having too many people go to one stage.

In normal circumstances the best way to manage that is to create an amount of movement by having different types of acts playing after each other. But if you've got an act so big that a huge number will go to that stage whatever, then i'd guess you have to go at it in a different way, and have that huge crowd arrive bit by bit for one or more acts before them.

[GlastoSimon]

It's amazing the amount of planning that goes into things like this, taken for granted really.

How do people think the crowd rush for Primal Scream - Stones will compare with the crowd rush for Morrissey - U2? Probably going to do Costello - PS - Stones anyway but I'm intrigued...
