Glast-home-bury 2025

Smaller crowd for Biffy than I expected.

[NorthernSoul52]

Ooof, that is a sparse crowd for Biffy Clyro.

[Padgey]

Shocking turn out for Biffy Clyro

[NorthernSoul52]

A damn sight sparser than 2017, when they were arguably among the largest subs the festival had ever had.

[NorthernSoul52]

Plenty of time to fill up and reserve judgement, but that is one of the smaller sub crowds I've seen in recent years.

[Henrik]

Had no idea about Wunderhorse. Brilliant.

[NorthernSoul52]

Given plenty were at LCD Soundsystem to likely fill up for Dua Lipa next year, this does beg some questions on The 1975's turnout later, I might wager.

[Padgey]

Everyone must be heading to South East corner early because the headliners aren't great.

Okay I get the hype about Wunderhorse, they’re a bit good 

Thinking the same. Great energy. As close to an early 90’s indie/rock band as you can get these days

[Andre91]

LOVE THAT GOLDEN RULE THAT GOLDEN RULE 

[NorthernSoul52]

[NorthernSoul52]

For context, that was Biffy in 2017.

[Ryan1984]

Initial crowd shot for Biffy seemed sparse but looks a bit better now.

Would be a shame for said headliners. Also, a bit early in the night.

It is filling up a little more, but a long way off the above image.

 

To be fair, there must still be a very healthy figure there. It's just that it doesn't feel healthy for the position and arguably the band name.

I reckon you're right - I'd have been right up for Four Tet in a tent but agree overall it's a weak pull, might actually have create a good spread of people across the site though? Versus last year when Dua et al finished and Silver Hayes was already closed due to Charli being on at Levels

[NorthernSoul52]

Mountains fourth in is a power play.

[Punksnotdead]

Giving Biffy another go - saw them in 2017 - didn't love them, didn't hate them!

[WestCountryGirl]

Wunderhorse were bloody brilliant on Woodsies in 2023. Only second on in the day though and their set wasn't televised, which I was really gutted about when I got home wanting to watch it back.

Yeah, fair point. Think their trajectory now may have been more suited to Other Stage headliner. 
 

Does the Glastonbury ‘demographic’ (whatever that is or means?) care about them now. They loved Big Dave and his Boomer Churnup Energy last year.

Neil Young might just about beat SZA tomorrow night crowd wise.

I expect he'll do better than SZA to be fair - that was a pretty rough crowd by size, not helped by half-an-hour of tech problems.

[NorthernSoul52]

The tree three-quarters up the field is the mark. You reach the tree, it's a big crowd.

First and last time I've seen them in the flesh, I'd stick it up there with some of the best gigs I've seen. Won't admit they're exactly cutting edge on record, but some of the best live bands don't need to be.

[Meerkat]

I like Biffy and have seen them a few times but there’s something about this that feels a bit flat?
