The 1975 seem to actively be taking slots that are lower than their draw so they can play at every festival under the sun
I'd say they are an anomaly rather than the rule, I can't see R&L making a habit of getting bands who can play two nights at The O2 to headline NME
-
A reliable ticket-shifter in comparison to some of the smaller names being mentioned, plus I reckon from now on at least one headliner each year will be an electronic act and they fit the bill
It wouldn't be a great booking by any standard but it'd definitely make more sense than an act like YM@6 being bumped up; I think those kind of pop-rock bands have had their day personally, they don't feel particularly in vogue
-
Depends on the viability of the new headliners, R&L would be silly to pass up on a cheap, reliable ticket-shifter
Something like Tame Impala would be more exciting and a lot more progressive, however I doubt they'll be on tour for another summer considering Currents came out in July of last year

The Prodigy // Royal Blood // Catfish and the Bottlemen
Green Day // Paramore // A Day to Remember
Kasabian // Bastille // Jamie T
Could see myself going on the Friday if I found a cheapy
-
Was really pleased about the heavy police presence; meant I could quickly report the crime that they didn't play Teardrop
-
Managed to win six tickets to Massive Attack via two separate competitions
My guess is there'll be a flurry of new competitions this week
-
Had a great weekend to be honest; can't imagine how someone could justify paying £195 for a ticket but the atmosphere was really pleasant and relaxed, something that I think was in part aided by the dreadful ticket sales
We pitched up around 7pm on Friday in Purple 3 (a campsite that according to a regular punter is usually full) and it was probably 3/4ths empty; there was also barely any congestion on any of the paths, even after headliners
Definitely made for a very easy-going festival experience, would have been happy to pay £50/60 for the weekend and will definitely look out for cheap tickets in the future
-
Did you manage to get rid of these?
Sold my two spares for £25 each; from the look of the campsite Rainham had about half of the tickets sold haha
-
Managed to win tickets and after looking through the line-up again I am actually incredibly excited
Everything there is naff and there is no way I'd pay to go but footie, tribute acts and bagged wine guarantees a good weekend
-
You'll be there in time for Patti Smith but might miss TV on the Radio
-
Also in the time they have headlined a festival in London (ONBlackheath) and sold 15,000 tickets over three nights at Brixton Academy they have only released one EP's worth of new material; if you want to see Massive Attack in London and have the money to pay for a full price ticket for BST chances are you already have and quite recently
-
Probably the act I am most excited about seeing all weekend bar LCD
-
Though there is not a great deal of decent acts one I would recommend is Moon Hooch playing Kashmir Cafe on Sunday night; saw them when I went to Later with Jools Holland and they got the crowd going more than Biffy Clyro or Tame Impala
-
The Florence day has seemingly sold pretty well; only date that is struggling is Massive Attack and it's apparently struggling by some degree
My guess is they'll release a load of free tickets for it through a newspaper a la Kasabian at Hard Rock Calling a few years back
-
Don't think it even sold out when they had Massive Attack headline
-
My dad said he saw the R&L line-up in a magazine the other day and couldn't believe how shite it was; said 'why don't they get anyone decent like Paul Simon'

Managed to bag three tickets
-
The Avalanches almost convinced me to buy in however now I'm seeing them in Ramsgate I can live without; shame as I really did enjoy the festival when I last went
-
The World's End was where the wristband exchange was when I went
-
I went in 2014 and had a fantastic time; missed Crazy Arm at The Black Heart because I didn't get there early enough and couldn't get in the room but the overcrowding definitely wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories you hear with metropolitan festivals
Also you can drink reasonably cheaply for a festival by tanking up at the multiple off licenses in Camden which is a definite perk
-
@paulmuchmore you will be able to pick up a ticket for cheaper I can assure you
There were rumours of the festival letting people in for free in 2013
-
Why didn't VANT and The Hunna take up the insurance jobs their dads offered to them
-
Their Facebook is promoting tickets for under FV on Viagogo
Reckon a Groupon deal or something of the sort will be available by the beginning of next month
-
It definitely will have something to do with it, hopefully the move also filters out the Catfishes of the world
If the festival were booking mediocre acts on the basis they were female I would not be in favour of the move at all, however at the moment I can't think of a bad female band that are active
Also I just wanted another opportunity to mention Savages tbh
2017 festival
in Reading & Leeds Festivals

Don't forget they played Wireless as well
