    I Prevail were the most banal and dull band I saw at Download this year. Utter dross. Would be a good, popular booking for Slam Dunk, however. They’re a really big band now. 

    Don’t mind them on record but live they are terrible

    Can anyone give me a rough breakdown of the stage genres? From a quick look it seems to me: 

    Origin: D&B

    Grand Central: not D&B 

    Zenith: Techno?

    Vault: Rap? 

    Engine house: Folk, soul, funk and all that jazz

    Wrong Side of the Tracks: no idea 

    Hangar 161: Punk, Ska and the like 

    Fool’s Leap: Jazz and big band? 
     

    I could be way off but I’m just trying to get a general read.

     

    You aren’t far off tbh

    grand central does have dnb but tends to be a lot more varied with like reggae, but if rock, some pop/hiphop/rap etc

    wrong side of the tracks was basically dnb this year with some random stuff thrown in the middle

    fools leap had quite a bit of acoustic but later at night you’ll find a full band on there 

    hangar 161 had a good amount of metal this year

    engine house generally bigger band party type music with the odd dj

     

    I found this year was very drum and bass and I think a lot of the big names have been everywhere this summer so they may need to mix it up more next year. I’ve seen subfocus 5 times this year as an example

    Been going every year since 2014. For me, the magic has not really been there since covid. The public in general has seemed to change a bit. However, for every kind of dance music you will not find a better line-up. The organisation is extremely top tier in every single way as well. Easiest way of getting tickets is Global Journey sales or via NFT's. While we managed to get tickets every year through the regular sale (sometimes with the waiting list), we chose to invest in the nft's and bought tickets completely stress-free. If you're looking for more answers, I'd suggest you check out the Tomorrow Reddit for loads more information.

    Aren’t the nft things really expensive?

    do I need to do anything more than just register on the tomorrow land website?

    What did you manage to do story-wise this year? Got any tips?

    Honestly my best tip is to just ask what’s going on around here to the actors. I didn’t get anywhere near completion maybe like 30% of the way though. We never really focused on it and just sporadically engaged with actors which was a lot of fun

    if you want to complete it you need to really put a lot of time in. Boomtown bucks are great to bribe actors with for info but they are also interested in random trinkets. I took a load of cheap jewellery from primark which made a few of them open up 

    Watch out for the pirates as they will definitely send you on wild goose chases, most of the time if you are being sent to a different part of the town to complete a task it’s a red herring I found

    They release a lot of clues in the build up and there’s a podcast which speaks about it. Also a very active Facebook group but I don’t use that. Woov was useful when you had internet to again find out what other people were up to

  5. I’m definitely nervous about it but not to my usual high levels. I think because boomtown was so good this year it’s great to have a viable alternative which I enjoy almost as much as glasto and I’m considering doing one abroad next year

    that being said glasto still is and always will be my number 1

    I think it's just that at Glastonbury there's sort of a honour code that you don't really speak about what goes on down in the south east corner and just pretend everyone's drinking. 

    This seems way more explicit about ketamine usage.

    Tbh I don’t think people on ket exactly cause any trouble, they are just spaced out and confused. It’s the guys on coke that are the problem

  7. That was on par with glasto for me this year

    story was a lot easier to engage with and was extremely fun. Probably the funniest weekend of my life thanks to the actors 

    I find the relentless dnb a bit tiresome after a little while but my group did want to spend a lot of time at origin

    lucked out with the weather big time, was very good in the end

    as a group we all want to do it again next year and maybe recruit a couple more to join us

  8. Midnights was so good as it was an actual presale meaning you had a really solid chance of getting a ticket if you had it which I suppose is what happens when you don’t advertise signing up for something as getting you presale for an unannounced tour

    more presales should be done this way

    All of Taylor's music on Ultimate-Guitar has just been taken down at the request of the artist. Majorly sh*tty move, I never get why artists do that/allow their labels to do that. For the sake of selling a few more ridiculously over priced notation books, you're mainly just depriving younger kids the chance to learn and fall in love with your music. You'd think someone like Taylor would very much understand that. Hopefully it's not a decision she's been privy to and it's reversed. I submitted a lengthy essay in the feedback box 😅

    So annoying. She doesn’t exactly have complicated guitar songs so someone more experienced can just learn by ear but the young kids just getting into it will struggle

  10. Dogs are only effective for the first 10-15 minutes of their shift and they miss a lot. Takes some bad luck to get caught

    its a great festival and I do think with more tv coverage it would become more popular
