majormajormajor Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Anyone seen the guy walking around with the flag of a bloke getting his ass eaten out by another bloke? Spectacular!

Just about every other festival has realised that flags are utterly selfish. It really bugs me that they won't do something about this. If you're not in the front 2000 or so people, you see nothing. I cannot think of one good reason to retain them. "Move forward then" is not an adequate response (because that would really have worked for The Rolling Stones)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Contentious one this. Yes, they do obstruct the view, but they also, IMHO, add greatly to the whole atmosphere which is pretty unique. Must look amazing for an act coming out and seeing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Glastonbury wouldn’t be Glastonbury without a sea of flags, if you want to see the artist then get up the front, otherwise music is for listening to, not looking at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb1 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Not a flag holder myself, but don’t understand people getting high and mighty about it. How on earth could that be controlled even if it was banned? If it was done on entrance then that brings up a whole new load of issues.. get over it and watch the gig around them, this is Glastonbury. Favourite flag for me was one involving peter crouch doing the robot alongside Theresa May, or the Sir Richard Attenborough rave one.

JacquelineS Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 It does look good on T.V. and in photos. 90% hold them fairly steady. I have only encountered one problem where a girl had what was essentially a towel on a really long flimsy pole and was hitting me in the face with it each time she waved that filthy thing which was annoying. It was at the Flaming Lips set at the Park in 2017. I moved up and encountered a group of fellows who just made the whole flaming Lips thing special as they had all broken away from their respective groups to see the Lips.

If you need to use a disabled platform, moving forward, or even sideways, isn't an option, and flags are at the perfect height to block the stage and the screens, which is a bit of a downer.

robillustrates Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Seeing places like Reading Festival without flags, it can make a slightly dull/muted crowd look completely dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyfaddle Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) My friend’s “PIIIIGGG!!” flag made it to #2 in The Guardian. Used to be a magnet for drug dealers ? Edited July 1, 2019 by phillyfaddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of rubbish, you can see fine even with the flags it just takes a bit of getting used to. They look great and they add to the atmosphere! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Cant really see the issue with flags, at the main stages unless you’re really close (and then it’s not a problem) the act is tiny and you can’t see them anyway.

The chemical Brothers was all about a visual experience however and for most in the crowd they would have not seen it fully because of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
