BST - Hyde park 2016

[Zoo Music Girl]

I can't get the time off either, as I'm freelancing and its late notice, but I'm hoping I might get let go a tiny bit early as has happened before at this employer...

TVOTR will be Impossible but I'd love to see Ghostpoet. Main draw for me is Patti (my sixth time with that glorious woman!) And MA who I've never seen. 

Are YF performing with them? How does that actually work?

every show i have been to at BST has been on time. which is a concern for me as it may ruin the atmosphere of massive attack. 

ya, i also want to know how young fathers are coming out with this one. hope its for more than one or two songs 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah would would definitely rather see MA in the dark. If everything was an hour later it'd be perfect. That said I'm delighted to be going. My first "festival" of the summer

[Johnny Appleseed]

right lets try and get everyone over the line with tickets today. how many on here are still looking for the good old £2 MA tickets? I remember for Ray Davies a few years back on the day and day before the Hyde Park gig they were everywhere so lets spread the word of any findings.

I'd love to see MA on Friday - still hoping for the best with cheap/competition tickets!

ive been there for arcade fire and kylie (yasssssss)

anyway, i actually have always enjoyed this festival and never had issues with the crowd like field day. 

the queues are ok, there are plenty of bars available and the queues move pretty quickly. the left of the stage has an entrance to the pit which is where the sound is pretty decent. my advcce would be to head in there after kendrick. after each set there tends to be a lot of people leaving and i think lamar will have a mass exodus after. if you time it right you should be good to get in there without hassle.

sadly, if you leave for beer or toilet it can be a bit of a issue getting back in as they will stop letting people through once it gets overcrowded.

Still no luck with cheap Kendrick tickets.

All the GA tickets have now gone - you can still get a few £100 + premium tickets but that's it.

I've never been too fussed about getting right down the front, but I always find it fairly easy to get a good spot. We had a great one for The National. As brayshizzle says, the bar queues and crowding aren't too bad, especially compared to the Hyde Park events before BST (that Blur Olympics gig was horrific for queues and crowding). It's a bit soulless and corporate, and the sound levels are shite, but if you get in front of a speaker it's alright. That's pretty much why I don't want to pay full price any more!

What are the chances of getting cheap Mumford tickets? I'm guessing they are selling quite well so far?

[MopeyGecko]

Does anybody know if tickets have been sent out for the Saturday event yet? I bought a couple of tickets for my girlfriend and am a bit concerned they haven't arrived yet. Has anybody received them?

Edit: Sorry I should clarify Saturday 9th

I'd give them a ring if I were you.

[choochoo]

No one have any cheap tickets left do they? All those competitions and not a single win, oh well

Looking at the app it looks like Todd terje is no longer playing the Saturday. Cat Power moved into his main stage slot. Can't find anything else to back this up though?

Argh balls. Just saw the times had changed and was excited to see Cat Power is no longer wedged between Kendrick and Flo but didn't notice Todd  isn't playing anymore

[TomViolence]

Polica are down twice though...

Tomorrow, when we all raise one arm aloft and sing along to People Have The Power, all of our Brexit angst and fears for the hopeless maelstrom of shit this country is becoming will be abated for a short while, we will have hope. I say we capitalise on it, march into Westminster and install Jezza + Caroline Lucas as our new leaders by force.

After the last two weeks Patti is just what is needed.

Although... after the results, I'm thinking maybe people shouldn't have the power. If Patti can make a song about how great it would be the have a benevolent dictatorship, I'd be properly on board.
