Not a major one by any stretch but had really convinced myself Belle and Sebastian were going to be there as a treat in the sun but guess there's not really a right slot for them any more.
-
Actually quite like the line up (Woodsies, Park, WH especially seem as strong as youd get this year) probably just missing the kind of special bookings you expect.
as well as pulp, gutted Jai Paul isn't on there

Absolutely nothing behind it, but surely they'll just do the smaller Hot Fuss shows in that week gap between the arena ones? Sure it'll make people angry because they'd rather just see that, but people will be keen enough to pay. Seeing as half the band just like cashing the cheque (fair play) surely they won't be going back and forth.
Wonder if like those TRNSMT and Garage ones after Wembley they'll just be last minute announcements, rather than an anniversary tour.

Too much to say that's Alvvays ruled out? Surely going into Europe and back for the Sunday is just wishful thinking

Jai Paul announced on the LCD day at All Points East so clearly that Primavera exclusive doesn't apply to the UK - now to hope he's not confirmed as a UK exclusive there

Just as she's popped up on a couple of predictions, I've seen Angel Olsen keeps referring to her upcoming tour in America as her last shows for a long while. Big shame, it would have been great
-
Was thinking about it too, but DCFC played the Albert Hall last year and not sure the Postal Service is that big of a deal to push them so much bigger? But yet I don't care about DCFC but will be wherever Postal Service play so maybe I'm proving myself wrong

Not sure if this scuppers the Lcd to APE talk but they've just announced a show in Dublin (with Idles and young fathers) for June 26.
Might make them less likely for an August gig, but maybe not if they've still got the French show booked in.
seem to remember before LCD definitely flew back and forth during a summer so wouldn't read loads into it.
I remember in 2022 The National interrupted their American tour to do APE and a Manchester show too

Also just announced with LCD Soundsystem in Dublin on June 26th which isn't on there

Wonder if Lorde will be back with a new album by the time it comes around?
The new songs at Boardmasters weren't from an album apparently and wiped her Instagram — she says nothing imminent but by next summer maybe?
-
Based just off playing Coachella for the promoters in 2019 and the fact they obviously don't care about selling out... Sufjan as a West Stage headliner?
more realistically given past form LCD Soundsystem, probably
-
Agree with everyone else that sound for Strokes didn't help but that wasn't the only issue, just felt oddly paced and never got going. The hits came across well so guess in hindsight I'll look back and think it was fine, and a band I'd wanted to see ticked off.
Walkmen and YYYs great, Angel Olsen fantastic (even without Shut Up Kiss Me!)

Hi
Haven't been to a gig for ages thanks to the joy of becoming a parent. Last time I was on this site was about 18 years ago discussing the looting of a beer truck at the Leeds Festival. Loved the Strokes and YYY's back in the day. I'm looking at buying a VIP garden ticket but can you see the stage from there? Or do you need a VIP and pit for that? And tier 1 and 2 - what's the difference?
Thanks
Tier 1 and Tier 2 is just release of tickets, so earlier you get them there might be a slight discount
On VIP, the garden is behind the stage and is just an area with bars and other food - there's no benefit inside the actual festival. You'll need the pit for the East stage to get a better view.
Also worth saying that YYYs are on the West stage and theres no VIP pit there.
Dont think it's worth doubling the price personally, but I've only been on quiet days so far so might have a different opinion after going on Friday.

I don’t see pints. I see the max size drink is a shameful 440ml.
think it's always been the case that most bars do cans but then there's a couple with massive queues that have taps etc
not ideal but also I've been every year and can't remember ever joining a queue for a drink

Not sure if this one has been flagged, but as well as the NHS site Haim/Dermot Kennedy/Jungle tickets are available from https://bluelighttickets.co.uk/category/music
Opens up the freebies to anyone working in emergency services

Angel Olsen V The Walkmen is a bit of a killer of an overlap considering I'm not bothered about anyone in between them and YYYs.
Guess I'll probably do all of Angel and see the Walkmen at Koko if I'm feeling shortchanged, but still a bit gutted

I'm actually confused as when I went to play, it said I won a 'super free ballot' but then I could 'claim' tickets for free and somehow it let me on to the AXS page with a code to get the tickets? Feels pretty surreal. Am I missing something?!
a bit worried now the opposite has happened to me. I was able to 'claim tickets' but never actually went through to AXS - have sent them a message so hopefully it shows up somewhere
maybe got my hopes up too soon!

As if the crypto partnership wasn't bad enough, this year they're going through Ladbrokes to shift tickets - https://www.ladbrokeslive.co.uk/ they're the only festival on there at present.
I've just won Strokes tickets on the first go although then the site broke while redeeming so we'll see if they show up. Would imagine the random draw for some days won't be very random...

So, do we think ot was just a rough year to get bookings or is it a conscious decision to down size a little.
Must just be a rough year, don’t see how a festival with Stormzy and The Strokes (considering they sold it out 4 years ago) could be seen as downsizing.
who knows why they persist with the two weekends rather than trying to beef up 3/4 days – that crypto money must be good because how it even breaks is beyond me

Don’t know if there’s ever been clues before in these teasers .. but I’m going to read into the Green Light
-
The Walkmen announcing two dates in London on the 26+27th, surely they’ll be added to this next time once those have sold out

Jamie XX in 2021 was definitely tiered pricing too, not sure it was a particularly big change between prices though.
-
Wonder what the reaction will be at Ally Pally when Taylor comes out for a couple? All done with the US tour, if she’s still living in London surely going to happen
-
Surprised they’re doing Leeds Arena again, wasnt half full and felt too big last time, but works for me.
RIP those two Brixton shows in 2020/21. they were too good to be true.
