This is the biggest stage and hosts the biggest acts, so you can experience music on the biggest stage in a very intimate way. The Park Stage is also a good place to go and offers a different vibe, as well as being a great place for people with children. It’s likely that the acts you will see on these stages will be the same people who appear on the Other Stage, which is more of a discovery stage where you can get to see new, up-and-coming bands. Other Stage is a great place to experience a range of different music, but it can be hard to see the acts properly if you’re short or don’t have a good view. It’s worth noting that the Other Stage is a free stage and that if you want to see a particular artist, it’s worth getting down early to get a good view.
