Was thinking exactly the same thing. It really was shoddy at times

With Glastonbury it makes me want to be there, in the crowd, I feel like the crowd shots are few and far between and the ones they do show are just 'eh'.  Its way more 'on stage/look at this production' type cameras.

Agreed. I wonder if Harry will have a certain pointy house later this summer too.

I reckon he could be in with a shout of opening the Pyramid on the Friday. Not based on anything just pure speculation on my part. Would make sense tour wise as he travels from Ireland to Hamburg

I'm genuinely shocked that he wasn't on the first poster. He really would be a perfect booking, sub to Billie?

I think if he’s headlining coachella then unless he’s playing a secret set (like radiohead, the killers etc) then he’s not gonna be playing so makes sense he wasn’t on the poster given we have all our headliners sorted

From what people have said on here, you're only allowed to drink in certain areas. So my guess is for the first 2-3 acts most people just spend time at the bars/wondering around. 

The main reason is once your in the arena for the day, you can't go back to camp and re-enter. Combined with the heat and thats why it makes sense people stick in the campsite till as late as possible (or tents/bar areas)

Ok, that makes sense as to why an artist with a track that has had over 300m streams on Spotify has currently got an absolutely minuscule crowd.

What’s the logic behind it though, it won’t make sense from a monetary point of view as people will just delay entering for as long as possible so they’ll lose money at the bars not gain, it also looks shit with loads of acts performing to tiny crowds for a lot of the day. So it must be a licensing thing as far as alcohol is concerned?

Yanks are weird.

That's terrible you can't go back to your tent? How do they enforce that?

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
