duggie20 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 who decided to put pendulum in a tent??? did they not realise their popularity and the amount of people that would want to go and see them over arcade fire. when they finished there was no extra security to calm the crowd people were falling all around over barriers that had not been removed, people being crushed and others having panic attacks whyever they did not open the exit gate to the right of the tent i will never know. if i had read in the paper saturday people had been killed i would not have been surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choadus Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 it was pretty brutal and iwas a fair few rows back. shoudl have been mainstage without question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I think they should've been on at the same time as Blink Would of split the crowd a lot more evenly than the clash with Arcade Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leocadius Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It was like that at Reading too. But the big crush in the tant (I was at Reading btw) was 3OH!3. I've never seen a tent that dangerously overcrowded. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 whoever put them in a tent was a genius. Meant i didn't have to hear them! but on a serious note i think they could've headlined the tent vs blink but against af was stupid, the smallest (but best) headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I only ended up watching about 20 minutes or so of Pendulum because I was watching AF most of the time. But I'm sure most people would agree it's better to watch a band like Pendulum when its dark, better atmosphere. If they were to play on the mainstage it would have had to have been around 2 or 3 o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggie20 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Mate, it's like that at most of the bands at the top of the list. Libertines and Dizzee Rascal crush, Blink crush, M&S crush, it happens all the time. I only ended up watching about 20 minutes or so of Pendulum because I was watching AF most of the time.

Electricityscape Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 They'd play a lot later than that! They'd be 2nd or 3rd from top of the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 but there are better exit routes around the main stage, whereas no thought had gone in to crowd safety around the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexclark Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Pendulum should never be above bands like The Cribs or The Libertines. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-Mo'Fucka Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 to be fair if they swapped arcade fire with pendulum it would have been just as bad, if not worse in the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huwbacca Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Pendulum wouldnt have suited being on the stage really, they belonged in the tent, also they did open the emergency gate to the right of the tent because Im pretty sure I walked down it. Calling for the guy to be sacked is a bit extreme really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
