I guess the difference here is Glastonbury exposure IS potentially huge. Eg Pyramid artists see their streams/ sales go up considerably after they're seen on the BBC.
Unlike your average smalltime chancer who just want you to take some photos/ give them a free meal / edit their wedding video etc - and who are v unlikely to get you any further paid business.
I think Idles will do fine. I'd expect SZA to be a bit of a ghost town relative to Pyramid Headline crowds, and conversely I expect Justice to be rammed. West Holts could see a bit of that this year – Sugababes clash with pretty much no one (a lot of 'old hat' Glasto acts). Jessie Ware could draw a big-boy crowd as well. I suspect she's probably the main alternative for the not-Coldplay set.
I expect no one at Gossip on Woodsies, although they are my headliner for Saturday night. Never caught them back in the day, looked like a lot of fun at 6 Music Festival.
Fatboy Slim on the Glade could be a warzone.
