  1. What on earth are you on about fella
  2. Signing up as is in applying online and paying the deposit. They'll email you around a month or so before the festival with all the possible shift patterns and it'll ask you to pick your preferred choices. You know what you're gonna be working before you arrive.
  3. You're not obliged to do a night shift, nah. First year I went I avoided doing one. I chose to do one second time. I think it works out that the earlier you sign up, the more priority you'll get to be allocated your preferred shifts.
  4. Not sure when the cut-off is, but I just had a look through my emails and I can see I applied to volunteer at the end of April for the 2018 festival. In 2019 I applied earlier. Pretty sure one of my mates didn't get on board til closer to the summer than April that year but I'm not 100% sure on that. The volunteering through eventree is the easiest thing ever. I've always had success with getting the shifts I wanted too so I've never missed any must see bands. Missed barely any of the music at all, in fact. Think I missed the Thursday night one year and the Sunday afternoon/early evening another. Everything else was a night shift or early morning or something. They were all 6 hour shifts the years I did it (7am-1pm, 1pm-7pm, 7pm-1am, or 1am-7am). They look after you with food and hot drinks for a tiny cost too (about a fiver for unlimited soup/toast/cereal/coffee for the whole festival). I think in the two years I volunteered I probably did about 3 hours of actual work in total in the carpark. You're pretty much allocated an area of the festival just so if something does happen then there's a steward knocking about to report it. You don't actually have to do any work unless you're unlucky. If anyone in 2019 asked a steward for directions to the carpark and got told "dunno mate", then you probs spoke to me.
  5. Wouldn't chance it. My mate had a funeral pop up at the last minute a few years back so he had to sack off the volunteering a week or so before the festival. His emails explaining the circumstances were just ignored; he never even got a response to confirm the deposit wasn't refundable. Someone on here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they tend to be oversubscribed for volunteers. Doubt she needs to sign up this far in advance.
  6. I'd be interested in those tickets (if the people you've tagged aren't keen). 🙂
  7. Pierce O'Brien is gonna smash the gaff up when it's 4 in the morning outside the hell stage
  8. When I am king you will be first against the wall
  9. My mate walked past him today before the football on the way to the seminal stadium Old Trafford. White t shirt with his belly out
  10. If looks could kill, my vacant gaze wouldn't even Pierce the skin
  11. Saw it on a lamppost near Old Trafford
  12. Spicehead! You're about as much good use to this city as Kleberson, Djemba-Djemba and Bebe
  13. Pierce O'Brien woulda been on before Idles tonight but he doesn't settle for support slots. For him it's headlining, headlining second from top, or nothing.
  14. It did legit sound like In The Morning. Somto isn't chatting shite for once.

    Love to see it. Gonna fully cement themselves as one of the best bands of recent years if this is on the level of UFOF/Two Hands. Got no doubt it will be. Those two albums don't even feel like that long ago, and the solo efforts we've had since are great too. Especially songs. Incredible how prolific this lot are without there ever being a dip in quality.
  16. Good news that they're back all the same. Obvs gonna end up over here at some point so happy days. Would rather it wasn't APE anyway.
  17. My train got cancelled for a gig a couple of weeks ago, so I told See Tickets I had a cough and couldn't go in case I had covid. Got a full refund. Gotta be worth a shot!
  18. Oh sick, there's a link to a See Tickets page on there too so that all looks legit. Cheers.
