we could go round and round all day discussing different solutions to the overcrowding but I think its just a case of the festival being over sold

[Hugh Jass II]

Any act people have heard of on a smaller stage will always get big numbers.

yeah but very impressive considering what they were up against, this pic shows the crowd and it felt like the festival was like this everywhere I went

Was rammed but the atmosphere outside was fantastic. Probably the most fun crowd of the weekend.

 

I don't think an act like S Club would work in that slot, Sugababes managed to fill the slot with wall to wall hits, a lot of which I had forgotten was even them. S Club have maybe 4 that would get everyone going but that's about it.

I know they were popular back then, but surely they would less of a draw than Sugababes or even McFly?! 

Pissed, with your mates listening to childhood classics?

 

It'll be rammed

I had no idea it was gonna be rammed, but really wanted to see Nick Mulvey who was on right before them so I was in the middle of the tent. Was probably set of the weekend, hilariously.

It's 100% about the nostalgia and just good fun to belt out some cheese when you've had a few.

I know it seemed busy at times around site but I personally loved it, made the atmosphere buzzing!! You just have to make friends with the people you're basically hugging lol. The only solution is to have more stewards ensuring walkways keep moving and turning people away once fields get full. Disappointing for some but there's plenty else to see...get there earlier.

Isn't it credit to all the wonderful people that attend that no trouble breaks out...it does blow my mind. I live in a sleepy town in Suffolk and we still see more trouble.

Yeah, they had several hits, but one of those is the stone cold banger.

Yeah didn't realise they'd had so many hits I think the Avalon would be rammed again

Nah I think they’d draw a mammoth crowd. Not as many legitimate, stood the test of time bangers like Sugababes, but still tons of huge, albeit cheesy as fuck songs that people would love to see live. I’d certainly go assuming they’re not up against somebody decent.

Cannot agree more. 100% a band you’d never pay separately to go and see, regardless of the nostalgia, however, 5 beers deep and chance for a singalong? I’m there with bells on.

Paul was probably my favourite of the whole of last year. Absolute quality.

Yeah as usual they were brilliant, I watched them at the other stage a few years ago but felt better at night in the tent 👏👏👏

[LoveAndTheft]

I've heard Peter Kay's name bandied about for legends spot but my money's still on Pyramid headliner on the Saturday. As for the legend this year I'm really not sure. John Fogerty maybe?

That’s just it though, do they have any classics?

Sugababes and McFly do. 

Horses for courses and all that, but S Club are no better than Hearsay and BWitched in my eyes!

They have to learn from the mistakes of last year and just stick them on the Other or something.

This is the sort of act I'd like to see at Kendal or something. Gabrielle there last year was great (and actually could see her at Glastonbury)

Can’t believe people think they don’t have bangers.

 

nostalgia x drinking x with mates will go down better than any “legendary” headliner imo

Of course! Just warming up then. Just have him on, he's been a better singer than Jon for some time.
