You’re probably right, and it might also be a case of one finishing just as the other begins so not technically clashing I guess. Still though, Courteeners are gonna lose that clash for sure.

Still though, Courteeners are gonna lose that clash for sure. Based on previous years there’s usually a cross over of about 15-20 minutes between the Pyramid sub finishing and the Other sub starting. I imagine the Courteeners’ set would start very quietly but quickly fill up about half way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) 32 minutes ago, FloorFiller said: There must be some correspondence between the main stages, and having Liam from Oasis and a wannabe Oasis playing the two biggest stages at the same time seems a bit dumb, both for fans of that kind of thing and non-fans. A stage might book their acts with what's on the other stages in mind, but it can never be a perfect art. For example, i'm pretty sure I was told that West Holts did their booking with Prince as the main stage headliner which then ended up as Metallica. There will also be occasions where an act is only available for a particular day, so if a stage wants that act they're going to have to put up with any clashes. The main worry, I think, with who's on stage at the same time is about crowd management. Edited March 19, 2019 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Guessing that some crowds take everyone by surprise still.

FakeEmpire Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Someone just coming off the back of a huge hit single/album being placed relatively early in the day is always going to cause a huge crowd - I thought that the Jessie J and Rag N Bone Man crowds were entirely predictable for that reason. I suspect Lewis Capaldi might have the same situation if he has a similar slot this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a crowd was to be expected, but I can't recall seeing a jam like that on that junction for the field before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but i'd also raise you a certain Lewis Capaldi whose one song will probably be all over Love Island and the like this summer.
