    The fallout from the line up on social media is amusing. People complaining they've never heard of most of the acts.

    It's the kind of lineup I expected, though I was hoping for at least one bigger name. Looking forward to discovering what they've done with the site and listening to loads of new things though.

    it does make me laugh that people are getting so upset about a line up for an event they bought a ticket for without a line up being announced.

     

    Are they actually not going to go if the line up isn’t to their liking?

    I think it’s more about the fact that they said on Facebook that it would be released today. I’m not too bothered about the lineup, but there are many people who do care especially when they’ve paid £35 for each ticket!

    Really can't think of a worse place for a BI gig than Wembley Arena. ? 

    Personally I hate the o2 arena way more. Just find the staff there to be beyond clueless. Never found it to be a problem at Wembley Arena.

    I can't find the exact dates but The List shared an article this hour saying 'Bon Iver announces 2020 live shows'. It redirects to an article about his 2018 dates but the fact the article page has been uploaded in the past hour suggests to me there are dates being announced very imminently

    Can't find any more dates for Bon Iver except that one and the Dublin one.

    Have been to 4 WHPs and its been a mixed bag. TEED one in 2012 - pretty good laugh.  Chic and Hot Chip 2013 - dangerously over sold.  Chemical Bros, Andrew Weatherall and Bicep in 2014 - pretty great.  Sasha and Digweed in 2017 - became pretty good but not a great crowd IMO.   And the whole having to be in by 10.30pm thing is a downer.  Interested in why you think the Hacienda one would be rough.  Just Happy Mondays type nasty/heavy punters?  I'm not sure there is a stand out line up for me this time.  I'm maybe getting a bit old for it. @aidenlangan95  would welcome your thoughts too thank you.

    I love the music at festivals and everything. However, I'll be honest, I haven't been to WHP before at all and haven't actually been to a club since I went to fabric for a student night in my first year of uni in 2013 where Lethal Bizzle was performing. 

    And now this year after that, let's call it experience, I'm off to a couple of nights at WHP and a night at fabric so hopefully my first proper clubbing experiences will be good ones. Aphex Twin is one way to start it anyway!

    Thats probably more to do with you making the effort to start a conversation than people approaching you and starting a conversation. I could quite easily go to any festival solo and have a few groups to hang out with after a day or so. My kids (late teens/early twenties) as much as they are very chatty and outgoing like me are still very in the "social media/glued to their phone" brigade. Which doesn't help in any way. 

    Maybe I was just lucky and there was a little bit of effort from me but some of it was people approaching me rather than the other way round!

    To be fair, none of these events happened at Relic or Nucleus; only near the front at Lions Den and the Town Centre or to/from those places.

    Also, it helped that my phone had no signal at all so there was no point going on it!

    One thing I noticed at Glastonbury and boom this year was no one really interacted with each other.. No hey old son where you from. You having a good one etc.. Now I'm not the most outgoing person as those who know me know but even I found it hard to get people to chat, have a can with etc.. 

    Don't get me wrong there wasn't any straight up aggression.. Every one said sorry mate or here you go mate as you walked around but that was it.. 

    I had some great chats with people at Boomtown this year. Did a lot of solo gigging as my mates were all into dnb and I'm not so big into it. 

    After the Streets on the Saturday ended up chatting with a guy from Bristol who was trying to find Poco Loco. Ended up staying with him for a few hours, chatting about Glasto, Radiohead etc, saw some music with him (Ocean Wisdom was a particular highlight) and sharing our drinks with each other.

    Found my mates eventually, he stayed for about 10 mins and then he went "wait, I was meant to meet my mates at Metropolis after The Streets" and went off at around 1.30 trying to find his mates.

    And that was just one of many times at Boomtown! Basically, us chatters and sharers are still out there!
