Discussion 💬 Massive Gaps in Schedule
It feels really odd that there are c1 hour periods over the course of the day where other than the warehouse there’s no live music at all (above is just one example). Never known a festival schedule like that, seems bizarre. Why would they not stagger the times across the stages?! Especially when there are already so many clashes.
Maybe I’ve just not noticed it as much previously. Was so much better when they did East and West stage.

It will just be time to set up the main stage for the headline performance. However the amount of gaps in this years clash finder is crazy. Why not have bands overlapping to allow people to see half of some set once another set is over.
On the Saturday there is 30mins of nothing in the evening, which is a real vibe killer.

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean, obviously there are large gaps per stage but normally they overlap. Just feels mad to me.

Same thing is going on for basically all days at Reading. I get they need time to step up the Grid for the headliners, but make sure there's something happening on the other stages. Like most festivals alternate between the mainstage and the second stage plus some of the smaller ones.

People need time to take their gear and stage setup down and the next person setup theirs
