I'm a little surprised that the solution was to get rid of the whole stage.
Clearly booking the big names on there particularly Thursday, were causing issues.
But no problem with the smaller acts on the rest of the wknd.
That being said the absence of the William's Green stage had no negative impact on my Glastonbury 23
They do but its not the same level
there is a big, big gulf in stature between playing the emerging talent comp and being booked low down on woodsies or park
Panic shack for example played truth stage last year, and would have been a perfect candidate for a williams green show. The smaller stages dont book the same way WG did. Grove played greenpeace, same applies. Both were on the thursday which got them a good crowd which was nice.
but neither stage does specifically what WG did.
it was the place you caught amyl and the sniffers or yard act before they made the step up.
You do realise there are 100 stages that they are still able to use to promote talent ? Williams green not the only one …. They also run several competitions designed at promoting talent either by giving space at Pilton party or offering a space at the festival
