Bit underwhelming if true but it’s R&L so expected Kind of a shame to lose the tent too honestly, had such a good atmosphere everytime I went in it - way better than for most main stage acts.

Bit underwhelming if true but it’s R&L so expected Reeks of 2018 again but we actually know its gonna be tripe unlike then where we expected Foo Fighters, AM and Kendrick Lamar. I remember the disappointment when Dan said Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy and Panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dance tent and 1xtra will definitely have to be moved around a bit to fit the crowd. also calling it now, sound will be shit at the R1 mainstage Edited August 28, 2020 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever stage has the first act on in the day will obviously have the smaller acts than the other one as it goes in order. You gotta feel for kids who have never seen a festival lineup with more than three actual headliners on it and this is just perplexing them.

Band A plays on one stage while Band B sets up on the other. That means Band B can start playing as soon as Band A finish. And the crowd just have a 2 minute walk between them. It’s to minimise the down time instead of half hour gaps between acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 so they have to pay for this... > tickets rolled over so can't really increase price unless they do tiers which seems unlikely = less acts per stage if they are next to eachother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.194 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 It’s just gonna be 6 headliners with a 3 headliner budget isn’t it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Afro Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 minute ago, Gerard the Fab said: That’s sounds alright tbf, but surely each band then has to have less time No, not really. You might have slightly fewer bands per stage, so instead of 8 bands on the main stage, you have 6 bands on each of the two main stages, but that’s 12 bands altogether and very minimal down time between bands. So instead of something like: Dua Lipa 3-3:45 Don Broco 4:15-5:00 The Vaccines 5:30-6:15 you might have Dua Lipa 3:00-4:00 (stage A) Don Broco 4:05-5:05 (stage B ) The Vaccines 5:10-6:15 (Stage A) So you’ve fitted the same 3 acts into the same 3.25 hour slot, but each band gets longer on stage and there’s a total of 10 minutes down time instead of an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
