It's basically what's called a soft launch. Very sensible

I get what you're saying and yes it would raise extra money. Problem is that Mike Gate is for accessible needs customers, most guests go up cow lane and enter the arena via Cow Lane Guest entrance. The more people you're pushing into Mike Gate, the less accessible it becomes and also a potential security risk opening the gate more. Can't really put another lane for the Lounge as there is a burn between green and the production road. Also wouldn't work on the other side of the burn as you are also eating into the Camping Plus space, and that area floods bad on a wet year as it is. But I get what you're saying about the walk from town into the arena.

But you would still need to walk round to the arena entrance? As you can't walk down the internal production road

*edit never mind*

I have got nothing to add to this thread about the topic, am just happy to see both Kerplunk and Scottie back posting here on this thread

Let the experts deal with infrastructure , logistics, crowd management, crowd density and flows and you just worry about the set times 😉

You stole that from me on Facebook 😉 Sorry already am 6 beers in as you do in Goa 🥳😂

To be fair The Orb weren't announced for both, it was Orbital. But yes both doing 2 sets 🥳

This! ^^

Agreed, a lot that do day splits early are festivals that sell day tickets. As Bearded don't do then (once before), then it's not as important to know who's on what day.

No

And its in August, and I've just been confirmed to work it.

Whats the prediction for Goa? It's where I spend the winter..get here on a big guzzly aeroplane ✈️

Extra couple of degrees going by the claims...

Neils never even been and has issues with BT from the beginning...

Zero tolerance, the way it needs to be.

Message @Chrisp1986, he has them

What a sh*t state of affairs UK politics and the way the HoC behaves is embarrassing. Even Goans and Indians here are baffled by it all and that says alot when the have Modi here!

No

You tell me, you're the one who came on thinking it was R&Ls version of Steelyard. Wait and see how it looks..

It's not a new concept, overhead LED screens, visual art, decor etc has been around a while, it's just a new concept of it. Like these recent ones, except it's on a much larger scale and not a solid structure.... I was lucky to work at both these (Cream 2022 version) and they were both very impressive, especially the Soundstorm one that was able to lower and raise huge sections of it. Guess we will see how it works out, especially with live acts and not just DJ's
