it sat as pending for about 4 days for me last year - it's perfectly normal

This. First year we went we avoided the Truth stage because we assumed from struggling to get through the pathway at the top it would be rammed. but once you get off the path and into the stage area there's usually lots of space. Doing that walk to get to Skindred this year was probably the only time the crowds felt uncomfortable for us

Tent was full - MC reckoned biggest audience for an opening act, but he could just have been excited. I enjoyed them enough to get tickets to see them again later this year. They certainly have more than the one song everyone knows. Godzilla was a highlight. Their stage outfits / style will only exacerbate the Wet Leg comparisons

If anyone’s interested you can just access the pre-sale through the bands site - no password required

anyone have a link/code for the artist presale tour tickets going on sale tomorrow? Looking for the Cluny in Newcastle?

anyone have a pre-sale link for The Last Dinner Party in Newcastle? On sale 10am tomorrow and just missed the deadline for registering for the pre-sale code 😞

Re: The toilets- I found it much quicker to just go down and use the longfdrops at Summerville on the way in - no queues and clean at that time of day. I agree with the point about the stones butmpresumably would have been helpful if it rained to stop the path turning into a mudslide. I do miss the steps and view from pre-2022 though.

New times for tomorrow night. Feel free to delete if already posted elsewhere 🙂

I didn't get an email or tracking number, then the tickets arrived out of the blue by standard second class post. checking on the website it still says "Tickets will be sent by secure delivery shortly to the address provided. You will be required to sign for them. Tickets have been sent to our secure courier on 08 Jun 2023."

I know it cant happen for various reasons, but Pyramid having some special guests on the Thursday evening in the style of some of the smaller festivals.

Not a festival but £7.95 for a pint of Moretti at Newcastle arena this week

Given that the Waeve are signed to Transgressive records and recently moved their Friday night Dublin gig , are they a possibility for the Transgressive Records takeover on Friday night?

Mine arrived this morning - but just via Royal Mail standard second class post. No dispatch email, no tracking, no signature required. Very glad it’s here but had it been lost there’d have been no way of tracing / even knowing it was missing. I assumed before I opened it it was the WV car park ticket. Anyone else got theirs this way?

Had a dispatch ticket for my Worthy View car parking pass, but no movement on dispatch for the actual tickets yet. Getting paranoid and having nightmares about having to park at WV then somehow getting round to gate A to collect tickets....

They've changed this now - in 2017 you had to swap ticket for a wristband and go through security/bag search etc. every time (a looooog queue on the Friday morning), whereas last year it was just a wristband and no security other than checking wrist band. Much faster.

Do we think Prima Queen will be rammed or do-able given they are relatively early? I normally spend the day at Shangri-La Truth Stage but there's not a massive amount on that appeals until later on.

was looking forward to these, but have just been given a freebie to Kiss in Newcastle on Tuesday. Not that fussed about Kiss (although I think it will be a fun show) but Skindred supporting, so one clash down 😉

I've gone from being 99% Pulp to 50/50. Seeing Pulp a couple of weeks later so on balance a bit of Food would be good, although happy either way. would they potentially clash foos/pulp on the Friday to split the crowd?

Yep! Can’t wait.

It's a great little area. We stay at Worthy View so it's the perfect place for a nightcap.

Feels a little like some of the smaller names that would have been on Williams Green are there instead?

I reckon a few of them could pop up early on the other stage. Would second catching Sleeper live - they're great fun.

Have they announced support for Scarborough - can't seem to see anything online

Annie Mac in JPT 2017?

i've always found at both pyramid/other if you stand at the side of the front on the right hand side you can normally slide in to the front if you get there just as the previous act finishes and you don't mind walking across a tide of people leaving. Last year on the Saturday was tough - we ended up (more by luck than anything) at the front row for Haim and decided to stay there for McCartney. The show was amazing, but the wait without a planned wee/food was not.
