Sound on Mainstage

Did anyone think it was really bad this year? We were quite close at Annie Mac and all you could hear was bass and then at Deadmau5 slightly further back it was quiet enough to be able to talk, didn't see much else on the main stage for the rest of the weekend, was it any better?

I thought exactly the same at Mumford and sons, and also deadmau5. Was able to chat away no problem at all.

I remember last year when the chemical brothers were on, having to shout at te person beside me and they still couldn't make out what I was saying!

Also remember some mad bass sound they put on which made the ground feel like it was

shaking! Disappointed this year on the sound front.

Looks like it depends on where your standing? Fair doo's,but with the technology to hand you kinda expect an even spread around the stage? It's been done for most years in the past.Blaring loud isn't always good,but being able to chat normally over the music shouldn't be the norm. Not for me anyway.

On a different note,I remember being at titp 2 years ago when it was awfy windy, just sounded shit with the speakers moving the slightest amount. Looked forward to skunk anansie for ages and there was just no treble/vocals.every 5 mins you'd get a whiff of it,then it just went quiet.

Nothing's perfect, still made the most of it

Goldenvoice was overpowering the main stage a lot of the time too, especially if you were anywhere to the left hand side, and more so if you were in VIP. But this also created some interesting mashup mixes every now and again when it was dance act versus band.

    • Or-and I don’t care either way-she splits her 3 BST nights over two weekends leaving space for Glastonbury (raised eyebrow)
    • Good catch this. Used on the Main stage on Saturday like a really cheap alternative.   Cracking little day though. A few Belgian acts to start the day (Atomic Orchestra, Kids with Buns, Selah Sue), some UK/IE midsized bands to end the afternoon (Gurriers, Wunderhorse, Wet Leg) and then an evening of Deftones, Florence and Underworld.   Can’t wait to be there and (at least try to) make the most of it.
    • I would be surprised if they don't, given 2022 was the twentieth I imagine next year is going to be pushed as the 25th anniversary so having the most local big name artist possible headline seems natural. Maybe SFA are being saved for then too?
    • I’d be incredibly surprised if she was in the headline conversation at all. At best I could say a high Pyramid slot but I reckon maybe Other headliner against a rock act like Fender or even Other sub (where I have her in my predictions). I’d say Gracie Abrams is pulling similar if not better numbers to Tate and she was third down on the Other last year.
    • I dont think headliner. Other stage maybe
