Screens at the Park

It would ruin it.  For most acts, you can see the band fine without screens and they definitely draw the eye.  The lack of screens gives The Park a real sense of immediacy and connection with the musicians on the stage.  Screens are fine at Other, Pyramid, JPT and W Holts where the arenas are so large, but I would be gutted if they were to appear at The Park.

Sound bleed from Stonebridge (in the past also the Rabbit Hole but with the move I assume Bimble Inn was getting in on the action as well I don't know I wasn't stuck at the back for anything this year) is the main issue when it's busy rather than sightlines so yeah I don't think there's a big need for screens.

Can I just say I loved the lights and artwork around it this year. It's always been my favourite stage but just looked glorious this year as well. I think with the exception of a few acts it's easy enough to get to a spot where you can see and as a shortie being able to see is a perpetual struggle for me.

Did the park have screens forvthe Bowie orchestra thing 2016 or have a totally is remembered (made up)? 

I think you've misremembered that as one of the reasons we left that early is because we couldn't see anything.

Well My idea would be a screen (singular) behind the sound stage thing for people on the hill to see. Some extra speakers in that direction too. Keeps the stage and immediate atmosphere as it is but means more people can actually see and enjoy... like the Foals on the saturday it was absolutely rammed and one you go over that little brow its hardly worth being there. 

It is also one of the best stages in the whole festival, very vibey as Ezra from Vampire weekend said. I just hope they keep this secret set thing going permanently as for my taste 95% of whats on the Park stage is a bit shit. Splits the crowd up around the festival too which is desperately needed at times.
