I can’t think of any band or individual that would require more space, how rammed at the back was it for kylie or Adele? Very rammed all the way back for Kylie - although there were several quite big pockets of space towards the middle of the crowd from what others have said.... If only there was a way of evenly distributing the crowd of people in a field, so all the 'empty' spaces get occupied! One day, using personal wearable alerts based on info from drones perhaps, but sadly not for Glasto50... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a drone with a megaphone that can broadcast ‘ hey you, get off that picnic rug and pack up those fucking chairs, the field is rammed’ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’ve got someone (to use Emily’s choice of wording) “substantial” opening the Pyramid having less competition becomes a factor. Look at the crowds Other openers can draw on the Friday. The main competition for the opening act is bed, which is where half the site will still be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily saying something like that and then it being unannounced until the day would cause most of the site to descend on the field surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morph100 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Madonna guesting with Swift as a taster before she headlines next year. Her London show was very good, despite what it looks like on paper the set was great and the whole show was extremely well done. The mobile phone ban was very good as well, they even took my Fitbit off me as it might light up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great thing to try and do .... totally impractical but even for a few songs it would be immense ... has it been tried at the festival ?

Can’t see that happening to be honest, and I don’t see the purpose of it either.
