He was also on pretty early with nothing really against him so I imagine loads of people went along for a laugh.

this is the correct answer.

he/T5 played Sonic the previous year at night and obviously had nowhere near that sized crowd....

Gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that Wild Beasts on the other stage wasn't like the crowds at Gandhi's funeral.

It was in the afternoon, and it was still absolutely rammed - we were already there, but friends gave up trying to get into the dance village as it was so busy

I was stuck in the gridlock on the Railway Track when Rag was on, it was absolutely mental.

Yeah, I crossed the Other field from the Dance Village end in order to not get into Groove Armada in the Stonebridge Bar and the Other field was hell on earth during Rag and Bone Man. There were people standing between the tents at the back of the field.

Got to admit it was scary leaving the pyramid and going to the other stage via the left hand side! I ve been stuck there before with people being gridlocked both ways it really doesnt help when people use fake excuses to get through! One day those fakes may be real and something could happen!

no, it was at 7:40PM, and I walked through the "dance village" ie. Silver Hayes at that time on the way to the Pyramid with no issues, so it wasn't that busy in that area.

Was I the only one who thought he was shite? Granted I wouldn't buy his records but we went ready to enjoy it on a Lionel Richie sort of level, but the TS5 shit and all his covers just got boring. He has a great voice but it wasn't enough. He had the same amount of stage time as The National! Granted The National's set wasn't their best either...

I went for a laugh as I'd only just managed to emerge from my tent, ended up really enjoying it and was a great way to start the day!

No, he was really shit.

[Homer]

I wasn't even there - but I can confirm that he was indeed total shit.

I realise that sounds terrible but I went to bed about 7:30, got up at 10 and quickly went and grabbed breakfast then went back to sleep until I was rudely awaken by Jules Holland (I was camped in Row Mead).

It doesn't sound terrible, just very rock&roll.

I assure you I’m far from rock&roll, you’re right it wasn’t terrible it was a lot of fun, just know there’s a few on here who prefer an early start at Glastonbury.

I was being sick into a carrier bag inside a baking hot tent while he was on. Was a strange accompaniment to my voming. Not my proudest moment.

Managed to stumble in to his gig in the Stonebridge later that afternoon though, actually quite enjoyed it!

Yeah I went back to my tent to grab booze for Barry Gibb towards the end of King Gizz's set and it was ridiculous trying to get through Rag'n'Bone Man's crowd.
