Havors Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Biggest ive seen by far... when people are literally standing IN the longdrops to get a view of the stage its a fucking massive crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windupradio Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Because of the weather, I think that there seemed to be more people sitting on blankets the vast expanse between the back of the field and front during the day and especially in the period leading up to Kylie, resulting in a less dense crowd in the middle. This meant a greater density around the edges and the overall crowd covering a larger area than usual for the given volume of people. Once she started and people did stand up , they didn't condense much as they had so many blankets, chairs, bags etc by their feet and didn't want to move from where they were. Giving the impression that the crowd was bigger than it actually was. Saying that though. .... The crowd was still absolutely huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Best thing I saw all weekend was a couple leaving with their tent, bags and trolley from the Big Ground and trying to get to Gate A through the crowd 5 minutes before she came on. Top bantz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how unusual that is for the main acts, but I certainly had no trouble going the same route from John Peel when the Cure was on. It was super dense right at the back around the Ice Cream trucks as well. Took a good 20 minutes to move about 30 metres in where my friends were at least you made it to us . the crowd was the biggest of the festival I would say I was there for Lionel and it felt the same , missed Dolly unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 It was definitely the biggest crowd ive ever seen at the pyramid. Whats the capacity of the field? It looked totally full to me and overflowing out on to the paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 This was our view. You can see gaps between 'rows' of people. Generally these were camp chairs people just stood up out of. The one space at the lower right of the photo was because there was a tiny baby lying on the floor. One benefit of the chairs is you can stand right against the chairs in a way you can't with humans, and then no one can try and squeeze into a non existant gap.

I was about 20 metres to the right of you probably and possibly a little further in. Went toilet after David A then thought she's on at 4:45 before thinking nope 3:45 so gave up probably a fair bit of space. That being said I can't see there being much difference in position between David and her crowd wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about three-quarters back, and there was absolutely no one sitting on a blanket near to me - there just wasn't room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SighMo Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 This was from the side of the urinals on the left. Plenty of chairs and blankets but as it filled people stood up. I only hung around until I saw Nick Cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I arrived shortly before she started (only later realising I’d missed out on Sir David), optimistically hoping to shimmy my way in about half way back. Absolutely no chance at all. Ended up being washed down-field with the stream of people arriving, unable to escape the flow. I was deposited towards the back, by which I mean way beyond wherever you think the back is. It was insane. I hung around for a couple of tracks but didn’t stay. The weather had beaten me down by Sunday afternoon and my energy levels couldn’t take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to preserve what precious energy remained for Janelle. I hated the hobbling this year. Obviously no sore feet in 2016, but 2017 was oddly ok too. I was hobbling around from Friday onwards. I think my footwear may have been too tight, but it was quite annoying! 2014 was also a terrible year for the feet, I didn't leave The Park all day, they were just done in.

Troop Dogg Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Definitely the biggest crowd I've ever seen at Glasto in 21 years of going. Bigger than Macca, Rolling Stones, Dolly the lot. You can normally get in at the top of the hill no matter who is playing, but it was totally rammed even back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
