Here's the 2017 thread

Here's the 2017 thread 

 

I'm sure it's correct, but The Other stage always feels like it can hold waaaay more than WH. 

Guess it's the openness around the stage which makes it feel bigger. 

Sam Fender could cause chaos if it is only 40k. 

[ogriff]

The Other field feels much bigger than 5K more than West Holts - surely more than 40k there for recent big sets (Blondie, Rag & Bone Man, Florence spring to mind),though I guess a certain % of them will be outside decent range of the speakers?

I know.  I saw those numbers and thought it can't be right.  I've not read through the thread, so I've no idea where they came from - it is 5 years ago after all!

[FatAmmy]

Gosh, I hope they do something with IICON that will justify that much space

[stuartbert two hats]

I'll change it - but I'd rather have something more concrete than "surely the difference is more than that??" to go on.  There must be an source somewhere.  BTW, here's the source for IICON: 

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/glastonbury-festival-block9-iicon-stage#:~:text=At nearly 20 metres tall,accommodate up to 15%2C000 people.

[gfa]

What about Pangea or would it be considered similar to the park?

[stuartbert two hats]

@ian the worm can you help with Bimble/Rabbit hole capacities?

[Ingobernable]

The other new addition in 2019 was the Wormhole but every time I went past there was a huge queue because the UK jazz scene is very trendy so I never went in even though I, too, like all the trendy bands. From footprint I guess it’s about the same as Stonebridge though? 

[jefwefwef]

The Temple has got to be 1-2k ?

I'm pretty sure The Temple in 2019 is a different, much bigger venue than the one in 2016 (latest festival when old thread was created).  Find me a source with the new capacity and I'll update it.

Citations needed hive mind, we can* do this! 

 

* looking at the number of gaps last time, we clearly couldn't.

[Hotchilidog]

Thought the Scum stage was around 1000

[Gnomicide]

Hasn't Love Bullets gone?

[blutarsky]

Truth - around 7,000 according to this article: https://www.loudersound.com/features/how-glastonbury-has-finally-embraced-metal 

[Copperface]

Has the Truth Stage been knocked on the head? Comes up on GF google searches but is now ' Page not found' when you click through. Or has it just been renamed as something else?

Removed Love Bullets and updated Truth Stage capacity.  Will remove if more concrete info comes out about it going.

Yes, thank fuck. I forgot about that place. The most un-Glasto space at Glasto. The only venue at the festival where I've seen more than two police officers. At one point, there were a dozen of them. Not unusual at some festivals but quite disconcerting to see at Glastonbury. 

That said, Elrow is always a laugh.
