  1. Even just a legit queuing system would be better! It's so unfair to tell people that they're in a queue when the reality is very different.
  2. In the confusion of trying to get tickets for everyone in our group, we neglected to buy one for the new baby that's coming with us!!! 😳
  3. Sort of a win win for centrist Labour. All the benefits of that lovely oil, without having to grant the licence themselves.
  4. I don't drive, I buy local where possible and I'm not going to have any children. Can I still fly?
  5. The Good: Nina Nastasia, Avalanche Kaito, Joan Shelley, Daniel Norgren. Great good, great company. All of the installations and magical sh*t in the woods. Cocktails in a can. Not having phone signal for four days. The Bad: No Lageritas (though we made our own using frozen margaritas and beer... expensive though!) People talking even nearer the front for Daniel Norgren and Angel Olsen. Angel in particular I suspect suffered from having a 'I don't want to watch UMO' crowd'. The Ugly: The bit when the WIFI stopped working, the cash machines ran out and we got worried they must have to shut the festival (If people couldn't buy food!)
  6. I always rank every band I enjoyed and only two out of my top ten were bands I'd heard of when the line up was announced. Def some new favs and back catalogues to dive into now. Would be happy to see Modest Mouse there.
  7. EOTR's secret is that there's always a good lineup 😉
  8. Were you one of the dancing people having a good old time between Wet Leg and Future Islands?
  9. But the said he was going to "Stop the Boats" those three words made it sound so simple.
  10. My 'rule' is always go and watch band A. If I'm loving it I stay and don't think much about it beyond that, if not I wander over to band B! Always worked a charm. The pre-festival clashticipation is usually way worse than the reality.
  11. Who needs experts when we can let Gary down the pub decide?
  12. Everything is totally f**ked and they've been in charge for 12/13 years 🤣 I almost feel sorry for them. I don't though, because they're a bunch of c**ts.
  13. We've had Right Bazza and Wrong Bazza. No one is talking about right Williams and Wrong Williams.
  14. Yes… we’re now only 20 days away from knowing 😉
  15. Airbnb probably has a lot to answer for too.
  16. Don's Solo set in Hyde Park supporting Carol King (who would also be great) would make a fine legend's slot set.
  17. It’s almost as if having more of the collective wealth of our country distributed to the lower earners would help keep the cogs turning and be a good thing? …bring on universal income! Something’s gotta give.
  18. Although I agree on the first point, I'm not so sure the demographic matters so much though. boygenius, like Phoebe, are huge with young people... but they're also popular with the Radio 6 crowd.
  19. All the rain is falling now so there won't be any left in September. I'm pretty sure that's how weather works.
  20. Saw Picture Parlour yesterday, they were pretty decent despite an uninterested crow. Would probably watch them again if they turn up at EOTR.
  21. Could be as simple as keeping the '???' creates some excitement? Already sold out by the time the tour was announced. It's exciting to think that it's because it's someone too big to play the slot that was booked after the headliners. Probably just contractual reasons though! If you're playing at X, Y & Z festival, you can't be announced for EOTR. But if the slot is unannounced it doesn't matter. EOTR gets a band they couldn't normally have and band gets to play a show without breaking agreements with other festivals. Win win. That's my guess.
