Scotland have now won 11 qualifying group games on the bounce 👀. Scotland.

You’ve just reminded me….stumbled across Imagine Dragons on tv on Sunday from Reading. They’ve mostly passed me by but ended up watching the full set. Great band and the singer has a cracking voice. Excellent front man and the kids were loving it. Saw the Killers pulling a drummer out the crowd at Trnsmt good few years ago and think they do it all the time. No idea how it made the bbc lunchtime news today but obviously absolute scenes for the kid.

Toilet queues were way too long across the site. Could do with a few more portaloos.

Same here. Would have missed it if I hadn’t seen a mate commenting on it 🙈 Every game seemed to hang in the balance at one point. Great summer of cricket. I’m going to watch some “live” stuff this weekend……weather permitting 🫣

Yeah change of month maybe change of weather. Always seems to be on a knife edge for a mud bath. They deserve a break with the weather.

Have been having pizza from chai wallahs for years. Always decent but 17 quid ain’t a bargain. Think the cheapest margarita is 14. Still miss Ghandis flip flop

Also on surprises…who all played with Tim Burgess on Saturday afternoon. We caught the last half hour and chat was it was members of the verve at that point. Also caught Spector in Calling out who weren’t listed on anything I’d seen. Had to ask folk who it was. Only jumped in out the rain. Very good 👍

Everywhere else walking boots. Kendal Calling wellies.

Perhaps a chip shop 😉 See Mhairi Black getting a mention up the thread. What was your view on her experience at that age ?

Fair enough 👍 I think this collaboration thing has worked out well for the both of them. Haven’t been to KC for a few years. Think they’ve relocated the main stage since I was last there. Looking forward to being back in those wet, muddy fields 🫣

I’ll be surprised and disappointed if this doesn’t happen. Sorry if that makes me a bad person 🥳 I reckon Rick will appear about an hour in so you can hit the bar and be back by the time it’s done 👍

Same as our experience although was only in on the Friday. Straight in and never broke stride in the bar queue walk before getting served straight away. Thought sound was really good for Heaton and Pulp 🕺

Robbie take thater giving her a nudge on his socials apparently. Tickets secured for Glasgow 👍

Yeah they didn’t let Sky show their IOW set live. Think it was only 3 songs about an hour after they finished.

The front pit seems to be packed with the young team. We got in for Pulp but the atmosphere was brilliant. Really enjoyed it. Jarvis on fire. Also thought Paul Heaton was excellent. Great gesture putting cash behind 5 bars near the green 👏 I always think I’ll not go back as my kids go now but they seem to like having an “older” line up on the Friday so you never know.

Trainers would have been fine yesterday but not today.

Pity as they were very, very good. Stage set up was perfect. Jarvis seems to be really enjoying himself. Watched it from the pit and was good to see how much the young team were in to it. Paul Heaton was also an absolute triumph.

Get the chairs out in the car park. Call it 50 quid a pop and with a fair wind, you’ll probably still can hear bits of it 👍

Mate there tonight saying it’s very wet but forecast much improved for tomorrow 😎 Plenty of rain during the build so boots for me 👍

Fancied Rihanna to do it but then I stayed up late and watched her stink out the Super Bowl. Loved the chat back in the day about how she was getting carried about backstage at T in the park to avoid touching that awful grass stuff*. Word was folks weren’t allowed to look at her 🤣 * I have no evidence that any of this is true apart from the Superbowl which was clearly sh*t.

This will be my plan. Get the bar and toilets sorted then in just after the Ezra exodus. Any idea on how tickets have shifted for the Friday?

Wickerman somehow managed to book them to headline in 2012. Absolute scenes. One of my favourite headline sets anywhere. Just checked back and Wickerman also booked Chic to sub Amy MacDonald in 2013. We had seen Chic on West Holts that year and couldn’t believe they weren’t headlining. Those were the days before Nile would play the opening of a shopping centre. They got less than an hour so fortunately he kept the chat to a minimum and got on with nailing it.

Thanks. Thought it was incredible so not looking to put any downers on it but if not why not 🤔

Did Reg give Bernie a shout out during his set ? Lots of tributes to his guests, some producers and studios but don’t remember him tipping his main man the nod. Only watched on tv so just wondering if it wasn’t shown…..or I was at the fridge.
