Least favourite Glasto venue?

[toooldtoknowbetter]

We all have our favourite stages and tents, but which ones don't you like so much, and why?

Personally I'm not into dance music, so don't spend much time in Dance Village, though I must say I quite like the smaller tents up there. For me, the Other Stage is my least favourite - it always feels a bit cold and barren down there - and the Acoustic Tent is the most frustrating, due to the slope making it difficult to see if you're near the back.

i least like the indoor cinema put it back over to where the hospitality is and get a Cinema back outside

I don't really like the Dance Village.

When we were walking back from echo and the bunnymen it was really quite a scary atmosphere and everyone seemed to be on drugs (apologies for the sweeping generalisation there). Not very nice at all really.

...and everyone seemed to be on drugs ...

Jazzworld for me. Like the field, love the flags, but there's never anyone I want to see on it, so I give it a swerve once the music starts

[Setia]

The Pyramid. Barely anyone I want to see and the sound gets so out of whack, like during Neil last year.

queens head!!

total disaster of a stage. far too small for some acts, way too big for some others. plus it's where the left field used to be.

[BlackHole2006]

Maybe it's just that they're on different drugs...

I very, very rarely go into the Dance Village once the acts starts, but I wouldn't say I 'dislike' it. I wander everywhere on the Wednesday/Thursday and it's quite cool to go into the Dance Tents to see the weird stuff hanging from the ceiling etc.

I don't like the Queen's Head much as a venue though, and I certainly can't stand any of the really shitty burger bars you see near the main stages.

Otherwise, everywhere is capable of having something on which is good.

[Adster]

I'd go with the Other Stage. If you stand over on the right you get some lovely bass from the Glade drowning everything out, the Queens Head was the same before it was moved. And I always seem to end up on the right.

Its still glasto though so that still makes it better than most other venues

The exit turnstile on Monday morning...!

Everything else is fab.

[Block of Mud]

The other stage is a bit pants, you have to stand in the right place to hear well... Although Bloc Party were great there last year

Pyramid is terrible. Between the flags, folding chairs and backpacks i find it to be far more effort than it's worth. Was at the front for Blur and Dizzee last year though and it was much better. If there is anyone on there this year i want to see will make sure i get as near as possible.

Would have to be one of the silent discos I guess and only because I have never been to one.

[staggerlee]

In any other place in the world I would detest the Bassline Circus in Shangri La. However in Glastonbury I can even tolerate that.

I don't like big music venues as a rule. I'd prefer a smaller venue every time if I had the choice so I'm probably biased.

Of the three big stages at Glasto, I think I'd go with the Other as my least favourite. Field is too flat for a big crowd, sound is a bit dodgy and the Glade bled over quite badly on the right hand side last year. The Pyramid has the nice natural ampitheatre thing going on and the big screens and Jazz/World gets away with it by being a bit smaller IMO.

The Hospital tent is pretty shit. Just a few people on beds with bandages around various parts of their bodies. No music, no bar.............give it a miss.

Jazzworld for me. Like the field, love the flags, but there's never anyone I want to see on it, so I give it a swerve once the music starts

[adamski]

I don't like the new John Peel tent. Much preferred it back in the day when it was smaller.

Think it's just got a bit too big and seems to have too many bands that the indie kids who would normally be at Reading like!!!!

Last year I was up there on the Sunday afternoon and it was really dirty and horrible around there.

[grumpyhack]

Dance - not for me.

Other Stage - always seems a bit sad.

Williams - an experiment that didn't seem to work.

Come back the Leftfield proper and the open air cinema.
