Is Knebworth a regular kind of festival with camping, several stages and headliners, one-day tickets and stuff?
Or is it more like Hyde Park, where the headliner IS the festival?

Funny, I arrived in London much too late for the front row run and ended up second row. During the show I gave up that spot and went back about 20m because the stage was so high.

Hi Nikkei,
That stage WAS high in Hyde Park, now that I remember. For Show 1 I was about 15m from the front and 4m from the catwalk Ronnie Side. I think that was about right. I did wonder how good it would have been for the up-front people. All those camera rigs everywhere to film Sweet Summer Sun were a pain too. Love that fellow's Mick '69 outfit

I remember those cups of water being passed around. One of the few things security did well that day. Crowd Control was appalling and so too initial entry for those turning up early. They were useless at dealing with fights - anyone causing trouble was invariably allowed back in again, only to repeat their behaviour. I read there were similar issues at BST Festival 2014 duting the Libertines set. If Knebworth happens, I do hope they organise it properly as it holds 130,000 for festival type shows, double what Hyde Park takes.
A perk for the front row was the direct access to water. I remember constantly passing plastic cups to the people behind me.

The weirdest thing about security was after the show, when they kind of chain-linked their arms into each other in an effort to usher us to another exit. They acted so damn ridiculous...
