Always had a feeling this would be the likely stage...to me it makes sense. Not sure why, just does.

Nope, it's true. Which is why this is a riduculous idea.

I've ranted elsewhere about them booking acts and putting them on stages/times which can't accommodate the crowds. They just don't learn :lol:

nope, its wrong!!

i acknowlegde that its a difficult thing to measure but not a hope in hell that he has attracted the 'biggest' audience

that honour will fall to one of the many pyramid headliners over the last 20 years, or one of the legend spots

i do agree tho that it is stupid to have him on the jazzworld - 93, sunday moring, pyramid was one of the most bizarre/brilliant glasto moments ever!!

Rolf needs to be on the biggest capacity stage early on in the afternoon, so that everyone who wants to can enjoy him in comfort without fear of clashes.

Was there somebody more important on at 2pm on the pyramid who just couldn't be moved?

As a Glasto newbie, I'm not sure about the Jazzworld limits. Is it an outdoor stage? and is there a maximum capacity, if so, do you think everyone who wants to see him will be able too? My girlfriend is really hyped about it!

Yeah he did - it was unbelievable in there, nearly as bad as the Madness '07 LV crowd. Remember some bloke climbing up one of the tent support struts until he was nearly in front of Rolf on the stage. Think Rolf acknoledged him as well before security talked (pulled), him down.

jazzworld is an out door stage that to the best of my knowledge (guesstimate) can hold 25000+, as long as everyone is stood up

havent seen an act there that actually drew that many but its a big stage -should pose no problems for rolfs 'act'

Hmmmm .... Rolf got the biggest numbers to any stage in 2002. And before that, he's attracted so many people to the Avalon Stage for headline or near-headline slot that it wasn't even possible to get into the field where that stage is.

So there could well be total chaos at Jazzworld - it'll depend what's on at the same time elsewhere.

If you really want to see him (christ only knows why any would) then all you need to do is get there early. For the Levs in 05 we knew there'd be a massive crowd trying to get into the field for the 2.30pm start so we got there at 1pm. Came in through the entrance leading from the theatre/cabaret fields, and got a decent place centre right of the mixing desk. Most of the crowd will be coming from the back of the field (the road leading fro the markets up to the railway track) rather than the back so that's the best way to make sure you get somewhere near the stage.

Me I'll be somewhere else on site watching something that isn't quite so zany.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By StephenF · Posted

      Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By davidd · Posted

      f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.

      Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December).

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
