First time I have seen that Best thing would be to have a sign in the entry to the car parks and entry gates saying don't bring the f**kers in in the first place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame she had this happen twice now. Last year was during Diana and I watched her with a couple hundred and thats with Jack White following.

al_coholic Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Ok, so I will admit it. Elton wins the biggest crowd at the pyramid since the superfence was put up in 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatTFBguy Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Enjoy Elton all. Myself and 6 other people are eagerly awaiting Phoenix on Woodsies, least they'll definitely hear me chant "play long distance call" for the next hour and 15 minutes non stop.

I really hope it's more than 6😭 Doesn't the pyramid field look weird from above, and without Row Mead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen the Other Stage so empty, other than in Weds or Thurs 🫤 hopefully a few people will leave Elton and join these, just sad to see!

thatTFBguy Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Feel like it's actually poor by the organisers to make bands play to these sorts of crowds. QOTSA (and probably Phoenix) would usually get decent numbers, but Elton's last show is an unmissable moment for most. Should have closed all other stages early, maybe have a single alternative at most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chawk Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 I think it's also caused by QOTSA, Alt J, and Phoenix having a pretty large fan overlap. So you've basically got a choice between one of three alt/indie bands and Elton John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
