Sounds about right, people claiming Arcade Fire or other such high profile acts would be put on the Other Stage vs U2 was laughable.

it's your take on things which is perhaps laughable.

It's necessary for 'high profile acts' to be performing on all of the other stages when the day's main headliner is on stage, so that the crowd is split around the site and not causing a dangerous situation at any one stage.

I understand that and agree with what you are saying, which is why acts like: Primal Scream, Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys, Franz Ferdinand have headlined in the past, as they will draw a large, but not dangerously large crowd to the field. I believe if an act like Arcade Fire at their present status were named as Other Stage headliners, the crowd they would draw could create a dangerous situation.

the numbers to see them when headlining Reading last year suggests different, but I recognise that they'd do better at Glasto.

But the simple way of doing it is this: Are they as big a draw as U2?

Not a bleeding chance - they'd be very lucky to get an audience that was 1/4 of the size as U2 will get.

Surprised they'll be allowed after their last performance. Not only did they get kicked off stage but the pre gig TV interview with Mani and the Jagger/Richards wannabe was a mess too.

Great gig though mind you, a total mess. I was in tears laughing.

I saw Screamadellica back in Nov at Earls Court , a pretty good show.

There will be plenty of people that will be willing to dance to a seminal drug album than be preaced at

by a bloke with a dodgy back.

And after a whole days drinking and partying , what a better come up then come down on t'Other Stage

:):):)

I'd prefer it but I can't see it, especially a Screamadelica/greatest hits set like they have been doing. I've been at TITP twice when they've been playing the King Tuts tent which I'd say is roughly the size of the JPS and each time they've had to close it off due to overcrowding. Now I know it's Scotland but Glastonbury has twice the punters, along with the draw of it being 'Screamadelica' they might need a bit more room.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
