  2. First Gig Back

    Jumped in at the deep end with IoW festival this weekend and it was such a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone, including acts and even most of the staff/traders just seemed so grateful to be there. 

  5. Queens of the Stone Age

    Just in case anyone needs some fuel thrown on the fire; this performance is largely responsible for me getting into Queens of the Stone Age, and festivals really:

    A friend of mine came back from Reading 05 and showed me this clip, tight then I knew that I wanted to see the band ASAP and be at Reading in 06

    It wouldn't be in my top 20 songs of theirs now but I always enjoy revisiting this clip.

    All aboard the hype train for QotSA on Other.

    Last time round was probably my favourite QotSA gigs and one of my favourite festival slots ever. More than happy to do it again with a few more albums in the bag. I would see Billie but with that clash.

    Love the first album, what state are they in these days? I'm aware of the first round of line up changes...

    It's been a couple of years since I've seen them (and it was at a festival) but they know that a lot of people love the first album and it was reflected in their setlist. TBH I have seen them a few times and am not aware of line up changes as there has always been a few years in between but they've never disappointed.

    Random q - it says online that the campsite closes at 1am each night. Presumably that means no re-entry after then? Or does it mean it’s just not manned then or something like that?

    Basically trying to work out if going to bars post-gig is feasible, or if we’d be locked out of the campsite.

    This was what @deadpheasant heard a few weeks ago; looks like you'll get in fine.

    Although it sounds very much like there's a 1am curfew for camping in their T&Cs, I've just had confirmation from the festival that you can indeed return to the camping site after this time.

    Ed Sheeran busked for years before he got his big break.

    I wonder if acts that don't get paid for their appearances should be able to pass the hat around the crowd after to cover their costs at least? (This isn't a question directly aimed at @nikkic but the busking point made me think)

    I saw one of those motorcycle wall of death things at bestival once and they encouraged people to make contributions at the end of their performances; a hundred people putting in the small change in their pockets every hour must have more than covered the fuel, insurance etc. Whether or not they had permission from the festival to ask for donations is another question.

    Black Honey are playing the Wedge in the Autumn and tickets are still on sale. It's not impossible but it would surprise me if they choose to play Victorious too. 

    @deadpheasant <20 min walk to City Centre or Albert Road areas, even less to Osbourne Road (almost right outside the main entrance to the festival). 

    I'd personally recommend Albert or Osbourne Road over Guildhall Walk (which is in the city centre and can tend to be a bit rougher). The former 2 have a decent amount of pubs and bars that will be open late.

    As expected no new direction for Foo Fighters; still sounding like an AC/DC shandy but still does what it tries to do. Even more material to add to their 'all night long' 2 1/2 hour setlists.
