Thrilled Flo is imminently coming back though. Flo is so good though, saw her both at Glastonbury + Big Weekend in 2015 and liked it more than I thought!

Thrilled Flo is imminently coming back though. Probably more that her people have only agreed to a short performance which would be criticised as a headliner. She only did 4-5 songs in 2015 to a backing track IIRC while touring a bigger production with a live band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico martin Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 For the sake of twenty quid each I bought tickets for the Sunday (had preferred the Saturday line up but that sold so quickly!). Not much on the line up that interests me (flo & Christine) but I'm hoping to find some fun. So is the consensus that none of the sets will exceed 30 minutes then? And are tickets being issued or to prevent touting its all done via the payment card used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected that to be the case on the main stage but not the other stage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf alice and chvrches on the Saturday but what do we get? 30 seconds to mars and panic at the disco, not even cool retro stuff! And Belfast isn't even sold out!

zico martin Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'm just hoping for somewhere to discuss the logistics of this think. Like what can we take in? What length sets do we expect the artists to play? How strict will security be with regards the tickets, or taking in any contraband?

NickisGinger Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Surely it’s just going to be the same as other big weekends. Like an hour (or less like last year) headline set. Same as security, pretty bog standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Tears For Fears have had to pull out of the Coventry show due to health concerns, but gutted as I was looking forward to seeing them. Very glad it wasn't LG or Stereophonics pulling out though! Any guesses who'll replace Tears For Fears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
