Did you say Rolling Loud? Was that what you said? That's a really big festival? Rolling Loud generally has a crowd size of ~80,000. Glastonbury has a crowd size of >200,000.

[@xneurianx]

That 80,000 was this year, during Covid. It's usually much bigger. That said, it's not even close to the biggest festival in the US. Coachella get's nearly 600,000 people, and something called "Summerfest" (which I'll admit I've never heard of before) has a record of just over 800,000 people. Comparaitively, though, America has a population 5x bigger than the UK so for something to have an attendance comparible to Glaso in terms of the proportion of the population going to it, you'd need over 1,000,000 there.

As a Brit, I don't notice when the bad guy is British. I usually just think they sound polite and reasonable

Rolling Loud is said to have up to 80,000 people, Glastonbury record attendance is over 300,000.

Rolling Loud had 80,000 during Covid, Glastonbury's record was set pre-Covid. That said, even if you compare then year on year, Glastonbury is still usually around 25%-50% bigger (2018, for example, had 180,000 people at Rolling Loud, 250,000 at Glasto).

"there's a British Office?". I nearly fell off my chair. Course ours was first. Don't try to compare the two though.

Depends what you prefer.

Look up the history of 'Trooping the Colour'-a military ceremony performed every year in London ( except for this year and last, where a much reduced ceremony has been held at Windsor Castle owing to the pandemic). There is lots of footage on KZbin. Perfectly choreographed marches and fantastic music. Now that is something that the British really do well!,

[@danosverige]

"Pomp & Circumstance"! (see 'last night of the prom's' for relevance!)

[@Dave.Thatcher1]

I wish they would "LEVEL UP" the parade ground at Horse guards where the full ceremony takes place. Most of the time when you see the marching, it looks like they are all over the place, but it''s due to the uneven surface and the camera angles that they show.

To give you an idea of how big Glastonbury Festival is: a full hospital with resus, pharmacy, x-ray etc is built on site along with ambulance stations, a fire station and a police station. It is effectively a new town that springs up every year for a week.

The advantage we have is that we speak English - and that automatically places our products (whatever they are) high on the sellable lists all around the world - but particularly in English speaking countries.
