Memory Man

It will be either at the main entrance from the car park or somewhere within the car park. Its not a big place, stewards or security will be able to direct you

Weather has now gone totally dry on friday but very wet on saturday, showers on sunday….. time for it to change again still….

Just checked a seat map for another murrayfield event and this is correct. A-Z then AA BB etc so its row 27 but as its lower tier those will be great seats

Good stuff. As expected they’ll just not open transfers till a lot closer to the time. You should be able to add to wallet and transfer from there

Do think the whole VIP ticket malarkey is essentially surge pricing by stealth. i was able to view the tickets block by block row by row for edinburgh after the initial rush was over during the midnights presale and there are a LOT of seats allocated to the vip packages. even “less desirable” seats you would not call premium ones are held back for the packages. if and when some of the £660 dont sell, later down the line they will just convert them back to normal tickets and sell them at the relevant GA price for that section, inviting random people off the waitlist to buy. they will do the same with production holds closer to the time

Should be fine. You could transfer tickets for US eras tour. They might only turn it on a few days before each show? we have some tickets bought by a family member who isnt going so it’ll be interesting to see what happens….

I think there is a second “core” clashfinder which is not this one, which may have 1 or 2 extra stages on it (science / kids, not music) but it should be good to go bar any last minute changes

There is still a week to go, plenty of time for it to improve i reckon Granted there will be some rain but if we can lose the “its going to rain all day morning till night non stop” then thats a huge improvement

Clashfinder updated

Can be edited, easiest way is by import from excel. I’ll get round to it eventually 🙂

Set times out mhaol now replaced with “special guests” so appear to have pulled out, annoyingly

Sound quality was excellent, great production and plenty large enough as the festival has expanded in numbers. thumbs up! Only minor issue is no bar or toilets inside so if its full or close you have to go out & come back in i didnt get the “crowd management” at all. Its completely open so i didnt feel the barriers were necessary as such. i suppose the gaps being designated either in or out does make sense, maybe. meant there was a bit of a crowd crust but then there was room much further in. what was the actual point of the containers? You couldn't go in or on them so they served no purpose really? I guess could have been a crowd control thing

I like the idea of reserving a campsite for thursday arrivals - surely doable. Everyone knows where they stand there & nobody disadvantaged etc in our campsite a group got annoyed as someone put a fairy sized tent in the middle of their group late weds / early thurs. Obvious answer being if you want a communal space the size of a 4 man tent, expect someone to camp in it!

Leaving out elton: Live: Carly Rae Hives Charlotte Adigery & Bolis Pupul DJ: Gerd Janson Levels luke una san remo Ben UFO genosys Not music (as such): The Dark Room John Robertson Flo & Joan Jamali Maddix

Also, chairs and blankets and flags are annoying (albeit 5% of flags are quite funny) but the fest have made clear theyre not going to do anything about them as if they were going to, they would have by now. blankets only annoying for elton, hate the pyramid in general for this reason. Only saw sophie ellis and rick on the stage all festival, as they were early doors flags and blankets no issue some of the best crowds were up at the park, everybody vibing for charlotte adigery and viagra boys!

Much better on the most vital things in 2023 compared with 2022: still busy all around site, but not crazy or unmanageable food ques much shorter there wasnt anywhere near as many of those big chunky wood chippings. im struggling to think of anything to have a moan about that is actually under the control of the festival and isnt just other punters being idiots (litter, urinating not in a toilet) or the weather being unrelentingly warm. there was a craft beer on keg in avalon inn for the first time - bristol beer factory independence. Would be nice to see it on all bars please! yes car henge was pointless and williams green was a loss but that was pre fest. In terms of other organisation i think they’ve smashed it.

Great, i’ll have a mooch over today

Ooh bristol beer factory! Is this cask (“real ale”) or keg?

Oddly its on draught in the common

As if you could be arsed. I really dont get it. We’ll stroll in at midday today.

Bizarre. At this point hozier and astley/blossoms are nailed on so pulp is dead in the water as far as im concerned, bar an arctics pull out & rearrange.

Doesnt appear to have been announced

Lynks confirmed (stories)

4% brooklyn lol yep theyve rebrewed that down to 4% especially…. Poor show
