While far from top shelf, it ain’t half as bad as some of you are making out.
Gutted I’m not going to be there. And there’s at least 4 x acts per day that I’d love to see.
Plenty of chaff as usual, and the older lot have seen a lot before - but that ain’t the festivals fault.
Loved CTRL and she’s clearly a big deal but I remain to be convinced she’s got the chops for a headliner spot. Seen her sub at coachella in 18 and left nonplussed.
The live show that’s on Apple Music at the moment is very autotune heavy. Her recent shows were very production heavy so it’ll be interesting to see if she tries it like LDR attempted last year.
Drew Barrymore is a stone called tune mind!
I missed Newcastle but my mates review was practically verbatim other than the earplugs. On late, awful sound, left early!
Other than the pyramid slot with RZA in 2011, I’ve not been to a wu tang / solo show where they haven’t phoned it in.
in no particular order….
Fender @ SJP
Bruce @ Villa Park
Young Fathers @ Boiler Shop
Self Esteem with Northern Symphonia @ Glass House
Blur @ City Hall
Max Cooper @ Boiler Shop
National @ First Direct
The Unthanks @ Glastonbury
CMAT @ Uni
Reg @ Glastonbury
I thought they’d managed to stop the multiple buying. Recall it being a real problem in 2011 with people just using the back button to get piles and piles. Fair enough if people are getting lucky again but if it’s allowing multiple purchases that’s a bummer.
Tell you what though, I'll never understand those who are on here at 9:05 complaining that they cannot get through. If you're not putting the graft in, dont be surprised if you dont come out with tickets on the other side.
29/51 we had a few that got kicked out at payment page that would have bumped that up a bit. We've benefitted last year from peoples similar misfortune when we got them after the sold out sign was up.
Disappointed but philosophical.
29/51 this year, but I wasn't part of the lucky bunch. Hard to bare at the moment but hey ho, having had 100% success since 2008 it had to come to an end at some point.
+1 for the postcode issue, there's a rabbit off somewhere with one of their databases!
