Madonna - Sky Fits Heaven

The sky is a neighbourhood?

Why do we think they've introduced the 21 and under pricing? 179 euro for a 6 day ticket is insane (sadly I miss the age range by about 30 years).

I've been listening to Loyle Carner all this morning, following his Mercury Music Prize nomination. He's far, far better than I'd previously given him credit for. He's definitely on my list now.

Two weeks to go. Who are your top five "do not miss" acts of 2023? Mine are, in no particular order: 1. Foals 2. Sam Fender 3. Confidence Man 4. Nothing But Thieves 5. Lorde I feel that might be a bit 'vanilla' so hope others can recommend acts I'm not au fait with.

One of the things the passport states is: Permitted items - food (non-commercial quantities) and soft drinks (in a max 2.5 liter PET bottle). Is this new? I have never realised you could take your own food in! I assume the soft drink container needs to be sealed?

I hadn't noticed that M83 had moved. That's really interesting. I wonder what the thinking behind that was? I genuinely wonder if the M&S day tickets are selling so poorly that they decided to move M83 forward to try and attract local fans as day visitors who wouldn't come if they were playing at 12.30am (work the next day) but might come down if they're on earlier?

Which main stage headliners will you all be watching? I'm much more interested in the undercard this year, so will only definitely be seeing Florence. I might catch a look at Billie Eilish (but her songs all seem sooooo slow) and Macklemore. No interest in seeing Mumford and Sons, will probably just spend the time getting a good spot for NBT. Yet to decide on ID and Guetta - dance music isn't my area of expertise but he doesn't appear to have the greatest reputation for playing 'live'.

The festival starts four weeks tomorrow, does that mean staging has begun to be erected on the island? Or are we still a little too far out? Any locals visited recently - if so, how's the grass situation looking?

Cheers!! They sell shots? Is the Heineken cold in a fridge or from a warm shelf?

Any idea of the opening hours during the festival? Do they extend them?

Where actually is Auchan? We usually stay in the city and get the train in. Is it anywhere near the bridge? Do they sell fresh food - pastries etc?

Funny thing is, they'd probably be better off increasing the price of the ticket (which is still very reasonably priced for a 6 day event) in order to the beer prices low. Us Brits like our bargain beers!

Sziget or Balaton being pulled?
