Anyone know what the crowds like for Alt J on the Park?

Struggling to load this page. Giving me flashbacks to ticket day.

Madonna flexes her inhumanly powerful wrists....

This is the Concorde moment for the festival. There's nobody left now that can top this field tonight. 

Stones was massive but not quite this big. Bowie sadly gone. Macca finished now. Led Zep isn't happening as much as I'd love it.

Running out of legends now.

Good, it's too many people as it is!

He looked a bit frail walking on stage but absolutely solid opening.  The overhead crowd shots are insane, biggest crowd I've ever seen there, topping the stones by some distance I'd imagine.

Its f**king rammed.

Doubt we’ll ever see the field anywhere near this full again will we? Which of the big hitters could bring anywhere near this … possibly Oasis?

Probably Oasis at this point in time is the only one. There isnt a legend that could get to this either right now. kylie and diana were like this. Robbie Williams possibly if he had Take That pop up in the set.

Yeah, I'd say Oasis is the only chance this crowd ever gets beaten.

Fleetmac Wood maybe if they ever did it.

Probably still not as full

Yep going to bollocks for me too. Everybody over eager to gush about Elton I assume.

[northernringo]

This performance is going to make ticket day so much harder...

They would have been better having no headliner on a few stages just so the few that remain get a decent crowd tbh. 

QOTSA, Phoenix, Alt J and Rudimental are sharing the leftovers essentially.

This is pretty much faultless stuff.

Putting my favourite band , the arctic monkeys, in the ha'penny place.

Doubt she’d draw this kind of crowd. Think a lot of people see her as a bit naff these days, especially with her constant clawing to retain her youth and such. 

Also has a big potential to be a train wreck.

This! IMO it's not good to have almost everyone on the site in one field & some great acts playing to one man & his dog on the other stages!

The only way T day gets harder for 2024 is if Taylor Swift had a real gap and Oasis reunited and had tour dates announced with a proper gap. Other than that itll be how it is. You just go and do your best.

Billy Joel ? 

No chance he’d be booked to headline, but he’d make an insanely good legend if he’d ever agree to it.

[onemoresolo]

Jacob Lusk, great to see him on the Pyramid! Gabriels have been wonderful the last two years.

[crumbler]

Majority of the audience look like they're waiting for a bus

[RHCP4Life]

Who do we think the guest appearances are going to be? I've heard Brandon Flowers is going to be one.

[Homersexual]

Between Elton, Lil Nas X and Becky Hill, it really is a night for the gays.

Thats why this first leg of the tour is so key. We'll see how she holds up.
 

And yeah, theyre running out of legends so the festival hits a crossroads of sorts. 

[FloorFiller]

Got a feeling all the rumours of Eminems, Harry Styles and Britneys are gonna prove to be bollocks and all (or at least most) of Elton’s guests are gonna be smaller acts already on site.

Maybe one big one, probably Dua…
