How many stages really?


Olshansky

Recommended Posts

I'm sure I have an old postcard somewhere in The Archive that states "Over (some number) acts on over 200 stages".

Always thought that was maybe stretching the definition of the word "stage" a bit.

If two jumpers count as goalposts then one jumper plonked down anywhere counts as a "stage" at Glasto?

yes you can, what stages cant you access with a punter ticket?

You’d need additional wristbands for the crew ones so not just a punter ticket. Are they included in the 99 you list?

Not all crew or backstage bars have stages. The ones I remember most are West Holts (fab, see earlier video) and Park. The main Interstage backstage had a tiny friends of the earth (I think) globe type stage where everyone practically sat on Baaba Maal’s lap it was so small. But I don’t think it’s had one since. I vaguely remember Shangri La backstage having a stage but frankly I never remember much of the non-backstage area anyway.

My friend always tells me Bobo's bar is a good staff-only venue. It's in a staff camping field that used to belong to a horse. Tom? 🐎

Including DJs on a schedule? Most do.

    • First forecasts claim that though it gets cooler on the weekend (33C-ish), heatwave will be back by Monday. They expect at least 37-38C for next week, they don't know if it goes up to 40 degrees or not. Going to be tough.
    • Already notified me last night. There is always the chance from the waiting list but from my experience, I either win the ballot or miss out. I have never been offered tickets from a wait list for Blue Lights. Had them a few times from Concert For Carers. Hopefully, others on here will have better luck.   We're sorry, but unfortunately, your name has not been selected for All Points East - Deftones (Outbreak) - Sunday 23rd August 2026 at Victoria Park, London on 23 Aug 2026 at 1:30 pm on this occasion. We'll add you to the waiting list, and we’ll be in touch if tickets become available.
    • Agreed. She was in self-promotion mode. Something big could be anything to an artist who already knows what's planned. People have just applied Glastonbury to it, even though the artist might not have been thinking about Glastonbury at all.  She never hinted at it being Glastonbury in any way shape or form. 
    • The Pyramid is long overdue a rethink. It looks archaic in this day and age 
    • With a good undercard and sensible pricing it might be doable. Took a long time for the Sunday at Tramlines to sell out though. Hopefully now they'd have some good footage from this year's shows to help with the promo.
