I actually think they'd make a great legend slot. He's one of the best songwriters in the UK and almost everyone knows and can singalong to their stuff. You're right about the legend slot, they'd be awesome. Definitely got the songs for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I shared the Glasto Latino announcement with my companion for this year, an enthusiastic salsa dancer, and she responded with a laughing emoji. I think she believes these areas are try-hard, token parts of the site so the festival can claim lots of stages but only the big ones will be any good. I'm looking forward to the site disabusing her of that notion in no uncertain terms. Edited April 25, 2022 by kalifire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I do love the acts on the main stages but the other smaller stages are definitely not also rans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People assume its just another tent surrounded by other tents with no atmosphere, for example, one guy assumed places like Glade, Silver Hayes, Glasto Latino, Stonebridge Bar, Avalon, were all in just a field in the 'campsite' and the main 5 stages were the actual festival that you had to go through barriers (like most other big festivals) to get to.

Yesterday was a fairly small one, so another today wouldn't look out of place. Kidz Field for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes would be nice if they did smaller one, bigger one. The small ones don't add that much to my playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'd be happy with a smaller stage, I'm still processing Silver Hayes. If I have to add anything more to my Spotify/Youtube playlists I may have to quit my job!!
