Kylie Crowd Size

[pahqman]

Easily bigger than Lionel's - I was in the super far back left, by the long drops.

Barry Gibb was miles better, imho

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bazza / Chic and Kylie / Miley were both indecent amounts of fun.

[Quark]

I love it.  Despite all the chin stroking, obscure band name-dropping and general musical snobbery around here (and I include myself in this btw) what we clearly all want as a collective is some pop music bangers in the sunshine to let our hair down and dance to.

Long may it continue

Christ it was a glorious hour in the sunshine. Absolute perfect sunday afternoon set. Take me back!

Absolutely!

I spent weeks beforehand banging on about the techno and dnb artists I wanted to see so many friends were confused when I told them that Kylie won Glastonbury for me!

[philipsteak]

First thing most people asked me when I got back was if I saw Kylie, clearly expecting a sniffy reply. All very surprised by my response of yep, and it was a big, fun, brilliant, daft party

Same ??

The confetti Pride Flag was a proper Glastonbury Moment.

[Badlands]

Watched the tv coverage last week and was surprised at how weak she sounded. Certainly didn't seem like she was struggling at the time. A right blast we had.

The lack of Jason for Especially For You was a bummer mind.

Why I never watch sets back when I get home. Yet to find one that was as good as it was in the field

Surprised at that... thought she sounded strong. But for most songs me and everyone around me were singing our heads off ??

I save them to watch in winter usually! 

Although my mum and dad were watching the killers again the other night when I popped in to see them.  Thought it was as good as I remember but I’d totally forgot about Pet Shop Boys until I saw it again! 

In defence of my usually ok memory, I did proceed to The Temple and finish off my chops with Monika Kruse at 6am after that! 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's never had the strongest voice in the game and even in the field you could notice it was a bit weedy at points. Contrast with Miley was pretty apparent.  Didn't really make any difference though.

Interestingly the rest of the site also seemed pretty busy at the time. I was at Fat White Family and they had a decent crowd as well. I'm guessing that The Other Stage took a hit.

I too was at fat white family (very enjoyable!), but afterwards while I was walking about the rest of the site I was wondering why it was so empty (until I heard someone saying Kylie was on at the time)

Weird I didn't think it was that empty. I was actually surprised at how many people were wandering around site but probably because everybody told me they would be at Kylie so I expected it to be dead everywhere else. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

When we left Jeff Goldblum there were floods of people heading down through William's Green towards the Pymild. You could see the site draining out in that direction.

Same here, thought it was a great crowd at the Park and plenty of folk milling about up top there. Other looked sparse with BMTH on, could hear Oli’s screaming from up on the hill.

Dolly was the biggest I'd ever seen for a non-headliner. I saw Stevie Wonder too and had to be content with a position waaaaaaaaay back behind the tree - was still massively crowded too

That was years and years wasn't it? I thought Kylie's was was just a "normal" confetti cannon thing

The second one someone jumped on my back to grab a bit of paper, which is great when your spine is pinned together with metal rods and screws. 

[Brave Sir Robin]

It was wonderful fun. Most positive surprise of the fest for me.

In terms of crowd size, clearly enormous, but it really didn’t seem as busy as the Stones to me.
