EITS to Sigur Ros

[BLTN]

It seems strange to me that they placed AlunaGeorge in between EITS and Sigur Ros on the Friday as those to bands complement one another well. Expected EITS to headline Park and Sigur Ros to sub Other but I guess it works.

Sigur Ros are my number one of the weekend and I'm really not a fan of EITS and would sooner be watching Ronnie Spector on Park, but as EITS and Sigur Ros are similar do you reckon I'd be better watching EITS (and getting there early) or would you go Ronnie Spector and face being nearer the back for Sigur Ros.

I'm hoping that AlunaGeorge filters people out midway through but it seems unlikely considering how similar the bands are,

Thanks

'The back' of Sigur Ros might well be outside the tent, so if you really must do the Post Rock Double then it's time to take your beehive back to the wig shop.

if you'd prefer to see Ronnie Spector first then definitely do that. i still gives you an hour and a half to make it over to the John Peel and get a good spot for Sigur Ros. the tent isn't gonna be that busy for EITS i wouldn't imagine, and i also can't imagine that many people are just gonna stick around through Alunageorge just to get a good space for Sigur Ros. you'll be fine

A mix of opinions, there.

Must admit, though, I didn't look at the stage times.

i intend to head over after Foals at 21.15 which still gives me an hour and fifteen and i'm not fearing having to watch from outside of the tent. it'll be busy but not until half an hour or so before they're due to come on (i hope...) and i don't think people are gonna camp there all day for them. Alunageorge in between EITS and Sigur Ros will definitely send people the other way

[BLTN]

Just like reading both sides of my brain speak to one another guys...the decision...will echo in eternity 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's also gonna depend how much gas you've still got in the tank by Sunday for a route march right up the site to The Park and then back again.

And what's the size of your squad?  Are you hoping to be dragging half a dozen people with you?

[BLTN]

Perhaps they put her there to split the crowd, I've got a few weeks to decide... 

[robalotalob]

If you're really not a fan of EITS then I wouldn't see the point of sticking through them and Aluna George just to have a good spot. Sigur Ros are my biggest draw of the weekend too but there's no way I'm going to endure the whole of Aluna George just for a decent spot.

[BLTN]

I made it from Park to JP last year from the end of Spiritualized to Suede. Came in on Animal Nitrate. The whole crowed cheered

[When Jokers Attack]

I'll be doing EITS into Sigur Ros. Great idea having them on same day and stage.

Are AlunaGeorge  any good? Plan on checking them out.

There's a group split, Sigur Ros is a favourite but I'd go on my own early if necessary as I don't want to be out the back and they're not the kind of band you can make your way forward during 

[BLTN]

Given AlunaGeorge a listen and wasn't a fan, seems strange in between EITS and Sigur Ros considering that there can't be many people who like EITS but not Sigur Ros 

[robalotalob]

My plan would be get there for the last 10 minutes of AG then make your way forward during the changeover.

probably put there for this exact reason - don't want hoards of people camping out through both acts making it impossible for people turning up later to get in to the tent

Just can't see many people flooding in and out just for AlunaGeorge especially as she clashes with Foals and Bastille plus few who want to see her are likely 'just to stick around' for Sigur Ros rather than go to watch one of the other headliners. In *my* opinion

*stop abbreviating band names, half the time I have no idea what the f**k you're talking about

i think most people would rather go see another act they enjoy rather than stay in a tent for an act they don't like. Glastonbury is too short for that. you're really not gonna have a problem getting there 50 minutes to an hour before they're due on (assuming a thirty/forty walk from Park to John Peel)

it's quite easy fur_q, all you do is copy, paste into the search engine of your choice then see the full name of the band.

Watching all three bands to get a good spot for Sigur Ros is total madness/a massive waste of time. You'll be fine.

[russycarps]

You'll be able to walk in to that tent one minute before sigur ros are about to take to the stage and still get a decent spot I reckon. 

I'll be amazed if that tent is even half full.

i think they'll pull a decent crowd, but it's not gonna be maddeningly busy to the point that people are watching from outside the tent or anything that's for sure

Yeah if it was just one band like I'm doing with Ellie Goulding in between ELO and Beck then I don't mind so much but 2 when there's something good on...just really want a decent spot
