Wow stage - Day by Day Breakdown

Yeah, my first thought was 'well that's Thursday night sorted', then I realised it'll be like Williams Green when Alt-J played - packed to the rafters.

Think I might spend my Thursday night down at The Glade lounge, if my assumptions are correct Mr. Dave Seaman will be playing there that night.

I can certainly think of worse things to be doing.

I intend to spend a bit more time in that lounge this year.

The Thursday night at Sasha last year was class, even though I was in a state, and even though it was the Glade Stage!

Do they normally have something that big in the dance area? Good way to split the Thursday crowd between there and away from Williams Green

It was rumoured in 2013 that they had Daft Punk secret set in there on the Thursday at WoW... turned out to be Fatboy Slim. They had to block off the tent with a human chain of security to prevent crushes there anyway.

Wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again for JESuS.

I was going to go to JESUS but Ben Klock vs Dettmann was far far too busy last year on the Friday. I was at the back in a shit position until about half hour before the end.

The tunes were amazing too.

Bad news it being on the Thursday. It will be far too busy. Sasha was ruined for me last year as it was a crush.

I will probably give JESUS a miss. Hoping the circoloco blues takeover is the same night. Ill go to that this year.

So how does that Friday line up work, then?

Does that mean that the Hessle Audio Boat Party line up is BEFORE the names above? I'd love to be at Ben UFO's set, but if he's playing during the daytime on Friday, I'm almost certainly not gonna be in a dance tent...

Yeah the "Boat Party" starts at about 1 or 2pm outside WOW and goes on until 6ish

Poop. I'm pretty much a wall to wall bands all day, DJs/Producers dance all night type. Based on even the incomplete (not whining...only a little, anyway) 'bands' stages line up we have already, it seems inconceivable that I won't want to be watching a band for all that time. Ah well. I promised not ever to fret about missing anything at my first GF, so long as I was having a great time where I was, and I shall stick doggedly to this plan.

The Boat Parties are great though! I never really stay at them for long but they're fun to have a lil boogie to whilst passing, especially in the sun, the actual tent doesn't have acts in it until later on. Definitely worth a visit if you have some free time and you're close by.

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
