Thursday on main stages.

[Brave Sir Robin]

At least half an hour before I'd day, it's been on at a different times every time I've been so it's difficult to judge. If it's on at the same time this year but it's not raining I don't think it will be as busy.

[Bisque]

Is there any comedy on Thursday? That would be a brilliant way to start my festival

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

The phrarcyde was horribly packed last year. It simply doesn't work putting decent acts on in that small tent when there's not a lot of other acts on.

you cant criticise the festival on the thursday really. 95% of people are on site and are ready to be entertained but there is only so much they are allowed to do!

the small stages are used cos obviously they arent as loud as the larger tents / stages but this just means people gravitate to them as there is nothing else on..... there is very little the festival can do about it aside from petitioning to change the license

i doubt baggy mondays for example would be hugely popular if going up against the usual lineup on say the friday. not to say its not good!!

it is annoying when it rains on the thursday though cos if you really really want to see something in a tent half the capacity is usually taken up by people just wanting cover from the rain rather than watching whats on...

I was at the blues Thursday night last year for visionquest with Seth troxler great night, only problem was we kept slipping up because of it being on a hill. What was even funnier was about 1 Alcock every one ran to wow because they thought daft punk where playing one of there hundred secert gigs lol. Even better when I herd fat boy tricked every one getting Zoe ball and her mate to put on daft punk helmets.

Ha ha. When I got home last year I wondered how I'd manage to see so little of the festival compared to normal, and then realised I'd spent at least four hours a day in this little gem of which you speak, and that goes by the name of the "Lizard stage".

Pyramid stage karaoke would be my choice, allowing people to fulfill their dream of playing the pyramid!

I think they do something about how busy the dance village gets., just because with big DJ's on in the dance village it gets absolutely rammed. So many time I've been in a crush in the entrance then never been able to get near a tent

[simonizer]

I think I caught the end of that one year . Sounds proper good.

Last year we went to see Loyd Grossman's band but they were shite so ended up in a tent next to William's Green playing proper cheesy indie. Was really fun but no idea what it's called! Then there was some pretty dancey stuff in William's Green itself.

Agree with what people are saying about the rain - it does make it hard to get in anywhere. Dermot in the Rabbit Hole was too rammed And Baggy Mondays always looks like too much effort to get in.

[djcolsen]

Dj Die in the Stonebridge bar on the thursday last year was one of my festival highlights, set off the whole festival in style for me

Hopefully be someone similar doing the same slot this year!

[Pinhead]

The only acts they would be allowed to have on the main stages would have to be unamplified so as not to infringe the license. Imagine someone trying to be heard on the Pyramid in front of 10K people with no amps....

[Glastonlocal]

Yep, one of the things they were asking for in the licence was 10,000 extra staff for this year.

[Pinhead]

There were a few more Oxfam Steward places this year, so some have gone there.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Yeah don't think i've ever ended up in there tbh, last year we were in the bar just up on the left in the park staying out of that downpour... Of course weather will be amazing from start to finish this year so chilling outside will be no probs

It would have been mentioned in the licence if they was allowing music on the main stages from Thursday and since its not , about as much as the guy who posted in that facebook group about Daft Punk being nailed on.

Thursday is fine as it is, sure the popular/known stuff is packed out but if you have a bimble about the place, you will soon find some sort of tent doing something to your tastes I'm sure! (Bit harder to bimble in the rain mind )
