Which itself used to be a six pole affair too.

Ironically, Six Pole Affair are playing the John Peel tent this year, I believe.

I think a smaller tent could work. It's rarely ever full from when I've seen bands there. It was weird seeing a band like Suede headline and not pack out the tent, for example...

Looking at some of the company websites that supply these things, 6 pole down to 4 pole would changed the capacity from just shy of 12,000 to just over 8,000. So not a huge difference.

The point was more in backing up @Joshuwarr though. If it isn't often ram packed, it shouldnt be too much of an issue. FatBoy Slim may get full though. But last year he played at Blues and it was ridiculous trying to get near to hear. So for some acts it is a concern.

those would be new/current 6-poles ones though presumably?

isn't the JP quite a few years old? I'm certain I've read before that it's 8k.

going from an old 6-pole 8k to a new 4-pole which holds 8k would tally with what they said about the new tent having the same capacity.

For some reason the two pictures are showing up as different sizes but are cropped to the same scale (2x2 grid) so it looks to me like the new tent is slightly bigger overall despite only being a 4 pole design.

The new one is smaller because not as much font fits in it.

9 letters fit in the top one. But only 8 letters in the bottom one.

In old John Peel the staging took up about a third of the tent. They might have a more efficient solution in the new tent. Perhaps.

I drove past the site yesterday and I got all giddy. All the road delay signs are up around the glastonbury area.
