[Getting Press Passes?]

Hi,

I run a music website and social media pages called The Indie Masterplan,

I only started a few years back, but it has really taken off better then I thought.

My next step, I would like to report from festivals, interview bands and review sets. This would be a first for me though, I am not 100% on how to gain this sort of pass and what my chances would be of obtaining one.

Are they really picky? Would having the website increase my chances?

I also help out promoting new bands in my 'Ones To Watch' section.

Thank you for reading this, any help would be amazing, I don't want to just jump into contacting everyone, I want to make a smart, calculated approach.

[Best Kept Secret 2017]

Thinking of just getting a Sunday tIcket for Radiohead.

The plan is... Get to Amsterdam Saturday morning, spend the day and night there, then get the train to BKS. what station would be best to head too, with accommodation and a shuttle bus to the festival?

Cheers.

[Stone Roses - Manc 2016]

On one of the Stone Roses pages, some women said her dad is involved with the event and she has seen the line up./

Blossoms, The Buzzcocks, The Courteeners, Public Enemy and Paul Heaton. 

[The Who - starting at 9.15 now]

Paul Weller disappeared off the line up on the screens apparently???

[gigs to get us through the slow winter months]

Ordinary Boys in Leeds on Saturday,

The Enemy/The Twang in Sheffield Dec.

Noel Gallagher in Nottingham March.

Catfish and the Bottlemen in Sheffield April.

Gonna wait till the line up for Kendal this year, felt a little let down by last years line up. Although it was a great weekend, was a lot of time to kill and hiding from the rain.

Get back from Croatia the Weds before too, so gonna hold fire.

[bored already ! next year's headliners suggestions and hopes !]

I think Chase and Status will be the dance headliner, with it being 10 years and they have played a few times already.

[Lesser known bands - Any recommendations]

Aww gutted, would love to see them again! Got too much on in Nov/Dec already ready and they are not playing anywhere close to me.

[bored already ! next year's headliners suggestions and hopes !]

Y Not was same weekend, with alot of acts playing both. Why not merge them together and have double the budget?

[How did everyone find it this year ?]

Walk were great too! We only saw them to dodge the rain, they were great and loads of aliens freaky dancing with each other was class to watch.

I would definitely go again,my little lad wants to go again and I think my wife only would if weather was guaranteed, which is impossible to predict when buying tickets. We will miss next year's because we are in Croatia.

[Ella Eyre pulls out.]

I am going to see them Saturday at Party in the Pines Sc**thorpe, they are headlining, only £15 a ticket free camping and can take your own beer.

[How did everyone find it this year ?]

Really enjoyed it, but only lasted 2 days, zip broke on our tent and when we got back Saturday night, we were flooded, so Sunday morning we bailed, only wanted to see Simon and Oscar and Miles Kane and the wait in between their sets wasn't worth it. Really like the whole set up and couldn't believe how small the Main Stage is and the Calling Out, for some reason I thought it was alto bigger than that, never once did I feel cramped though and although it is small I still didn't see it all. I saw pictures of the lake on Facebook, but never saw it and couldn't tell you where it is.

Favorite act has to be Augustines, never heard of them till they was added and they blew me away.

Loved how humble Catfish and the Bottlemen were too, not only incredible live, Van was forever saying, "I can not thank you enough." Was nice to see.

[Reports from the site: Ground conditions ie. Mud]

We had to leave this morning, our zip broke on our tent yesterday and when we got back last night we had been flooded. Really enjoyed the 2 Days we had though, great little set up there.

[Top 20 predictions]

I get another point! The Sunshine Underground, that it makes any difference.

[Ella Eyre pulls out.]

Over the moon! Love them! Will be seeing them 2 weekends in a row now too also gives me an extra prediction point.

[Severe weather warning issued!]

On the Met Office website, every hour it updates and every hour is looking a little bit better! I have faith.

[Site Map]

Light blue is family camping. They posted a new map on Twitter with all campsites named.

[Just for Jacko - The long awaited weather thread]

BBC weather changed again this morning, looking a tiny bit better

[Site Map]

Hahaha, Orange me too, pretty sure I will be in the same situation, my wife will be shouting, "Why don't you put that can down, you will have 2 hands then." My little lad will be trying to get in it while it is half up.

[Miles Kane and Catfish, both pulled out of festivals this wweekend :S]

Miles Kanes definitely playing kendal calling which is great news, he'll be a much better run in to example than tom odell would provide.

Great news that! Both him and Catfish playing

[Something very special 2pm]

2manydjs secret gig. Register for one of 25 pairs of tickets.

[Something very special 2pm]

Thought, they might play it empty, like a little promo session video.

[Something very special 2pm]

I though Simon and Oscar at first. Does this mean they are playing 2pm today or they are announcing they will be playing during the festival?

Could it be The Charlatans, Tim is always on site.

[Something very special 2pm]

One of the biggest Kendal Calling acts, playing the smallest stage Woodlands.

They just posted this on Twitter.

[Miles Kane and Catfish, both pulled out of festivals this wweekend :S]

Catfish's New single Cocoon was just Radio 1's hottest record in the world, 5 releases and 5 hottest records!!! This one is class, they are getting better and better, Radio 1 are playing again at half 8. Van sounded in good spirits, don't think they will pull Kendal.
