Gnomicide Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I wonder how well this is selling. They're really pushing it on social media, promoted posts on Instagram and Facebook, interacting with people on Twitter (which is quite rare).

Just from the people I know, I’m the only person that’s purchased it. No one else is remotely interested in paying for a livestream. That includes all my regular festival crew who don’t miss a single year, bash the shit out of their F5 keys, value line up drop day more than Christmas etc etc 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of us has booked the live stream. It’s a great idea, but for me the choice between sitting in to watch yet another livestream or heading out on the first weekend when venues are open and real bands are playing is an easy one. The September event though, should it go ahead, just try and stop me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not sure I want to pay to hear Damon being righteously sanctimonious for 25 minutes followed by Coldplay followed by Jarvis Cocker pontificating, spoken word only. 🤮 Sounds like hell to be honest.

TheHungryMoomin Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I've never had the chance to go to Glastonbury (always been too young and parents who aren't into camping) so my housemates and I have bought tickets for the Sunday afternoon. Acts are hit and miss for me but it's the closest I've got to going so far, and money's for charity so all for a good cause! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'm slightly more swayed by the recent spoken word additions to the line-up (Kae and Jarvis particularly) but we have plans both days next weekend that would mean it's not really feasible to watch the whole thing. I hope it does well and people enjoy it, but yeah not one for me. That said if our plans get cancelled on one of the days (there's been a lot of that lately!) then I might just say fuck it and go for it.

I'm not aware of any volunteers being drafted in as an 'audience', so why a tent that seems so big? I guess a smaller tent wouldn't be able to cater for a big enough stage, but it still seems odd - there must be alternatives. Won't it just seem strangely empty? How big do we reckon it is anyway? Avalon or Avalon Cafe sized? Edited May 15, 2021 by stuartbert two hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Production is my guess. Artists of the magnitude they have performing wont want to play the tiny tea tent they’ll be having the level & scale of production they are used to regardless of whether theres an audience. see the 6 music festival headliners recording in an empty ally pally looks about avalon sized or williams green. Still not that big really. Edited May 15, 2021 by Memory Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon or Avalon Cafe sized? I reckon it's approximately 39x54m. Which would put it a bit bigger than either of the venues in the Avalon Field. Somewhere between Avalon and Acoustic in size.

sedra Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 So if all the artists are being filmed this week is anything actually going to be “live” live streamed on 22nd at all ?? Last year they had BBC live from the farm linking to classic performances and a few acoustic sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get anything it will be similar to that …fill in and maybe an acoustic performance … security wise I’d say it’s more likely that it’s all filmed in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
