According to the rumours page.

What craziness is this?

Jeez, Rolf playing to a field full off p1ssed up Brothers Cider drinkers in the afternoon - carnage! Can't wait!

[sifi]

Doesn't he have the record for attracting the most people?

Or did I imagine that? And how is that kind of thing calculated anyhow?

someone posted a link to an interview recently, where Rolf himself said he was on Jazzworld.

[jamiejc]

Even better I say, get all the rolfers in one place, close to the Brothers bar. What more could we want

[sifi]

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

[Pinhead]

Reckon it could be another Levellers '05 situation with the field totally rammed and a deafening, drunken rendition of 'Two Little Boys' carrying across the site.

[LusciousLucy]

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

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

[bombfrog]

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!!

[Tugger2k]

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?

[remote]

I was hoping he might be on the pyramid but being able to enjoy it with a couple of pints from the brothers bar suits me fine.

[joelovesleeds!]

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!

[freeak]

Didn't he play the Avalon tent one year over the last decade? That was silly scheduling.

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.

[BonnetBird]

So there is now the prospect of possibly not being able to see Rolf?!

[hoils]

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.
