I know there are dozens of threads, with opinion after opinion but being a scientist I like clear, concise data :P So a poll it is :P

*my bad edited it half way through, I didn't vote on the third one either :P so the 3rd question is -4 votes!

I think banning them is totally unworkable!

I also can see why it annoys people that they are at the front of the stage but I think that in general, we are controlled too much in this country. Glastonbury is the one place that feels a little more free. If they start banning flags it will feel less free and a bit like governments legislating against every little thing!

They don't really bother me anyway though.

Why not just ask him nicely not to post anymore flag threads? As there's too many around already? People can surely just move away from the posts? and they do help people to find their way around the forum. :P

The results so far speak for themselves!! :P

KEEP FLAGS

DON'T ALLOW THEM IN FRONT STAGE/CROWD AREA (unless no one is playing) &

KEEP THEM DOWN DURING LIVE PERFORMANCES :P

A good balance at last? Keep them but let people see the stage! :(:P

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.

      Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
