I know it’s nigh on impossible, but what if there were two Pyramid stages built - one next to the other. This way you could, theoretically at least, have more bands due to easier changeovers etc - though I appreciate it’s a zany idea and highly unlikely. It ain’t Download, after all! You dont need 2 Pyramid Stages built, you just need to build a rotating stage so the changeovers are 5 minutes in between acts if you wanted to keep the music from not stopping. Its a prominent thing in the u.s. for radio festivals so they can keep the event going non stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 OK kids, it's not the greatest idea ever (and I'm putting that lightly) but remember the rules on laying into new posters too hard eh?

northernringo Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) It would be even better if they both had acts playing at the same time. That way, if you didn't like one of the acts, you could simply swivel your head and look at the other Pyramid stage. Can't think of any downsides.

Headsets that you wear that you can swap between channels so you hear the band you want to watch, like at a Silent Disco. Actually, you only need one stage for that. Macca and Kendrick won't get in each others' way performing at the same time on one stage, they can just set boundaries with each other in the green room beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pack a days worth of acts into an evening, whilst someone is on one stage the other is being set up for the next act, almost no gap between acts. Works well. that said, it ain’t happening at Glastonbury. You need gaps. Gaps are for food, booze and travel. Gaps are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I had genuinely no idea people had issues with change over times. Surely changeover times are needed for eating, drinking and changing stages? Couldn't imagine the stress of seeing something finish on Pyramid and having to sprint round to West Holts so you wouldnt miss the start of the next act.

Yeah, gaps are essential otherwise everyone would just be pushing in and out with 6 pints and 4 giant yorkie meals in the middle of a set. Oh... wait.
