I replied asking if they could tell me whether it'll be used tomorrow or not and they said...
"it is very likely a wristband system will be in place, yes."
So yeah, there we go. Supposed to be thunder and lightning tomorrow in London, I hope it clears away fairly early!

I asked about the wiristband situation and received this reply
"For Green Day, Kings of Leon and The Killers, we have a general admission area in front of the main stage. This area is capacity-controlled to ensure your safety, therefore (as per ticket descriptions) access to this area is never guaranteed, and is on a first-come-first-served basis.
For this general admission area we may use measures such as wristbanding to ensure that numbers are monitored. If so, wristbands are allocated when customers exit this area to ensure that they are able to leave to go to the toilet and regain entry to this area (and re-join their group) without conflict, whilst enabling the security team to ensure the area never exceeds capacity. These wristbands are part of the event’s operational plans and cannot be purchased.
Note: Priority Entry tickets allow customers entry to the main event up to one hour before doors for general admission. This ticket type does not guarantee any access to viewing areas or similar."So wouldn't actually confirm whether wirstbands are going to be used again...

I was also going to post about the maps, I noticed that earlier. I'm not that bothered about the rest of the line-up for Kings of Leon so I don't really want to be there for opening time, but if there's wrist bands I feel like I'll have to. Hmmm. I'll email them and hopefully they can clarify beforehand.

Didnt see any dogs, but it was fairly intense - they asked us to empty our pockets into plastic bags as well as taking off our belts, then go through airport style metal detector things.
Ah okay. Same as Community Festival yesterday then. Cheers

I'm going to Kings of Leon on Thursday so I'll try get down early for a wristband. What was the security like? Searches, dogs etc?

I was thinking of driving to Reading this year and buying a pass for the Green car park. I know we have to leave the festival site at 12pm, but what time do cars have to be out of the car park on the Monday? I'd like to maybe let the rush die down and give myself a bit of time to sober up....
Thanks

Why do Kasabian have such a low slot for this? It's a bit strange
-
I'm seeing them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange tonight! Really excited. Glad I got tickets for this before the arena tour. 3rd time seeing them

BEST EVER!
That is a ludicrous statement, that I couldnt let slide through unnoticed.
That is all.
Because someone has a different opinion to you? Oh, the horror.

I think it's great. Ill Ray (The King) is one of their best ever songs in my opinion.

Eminem wasn't televised in 2013 was it?
And presumably will be the same this year.

Last year I got a notification from the R&L app regarding the YMAS secret set well in advance. So just download the app and then put the notifications on and you won't miss it.

The smaller bands really make this line up for me, because it has to be said that the top 12 slots across Main Stage and NME are lacking. I'll probably see a lot of them though, just don't think they should all be that high.
For me I'm interested in the following (a lot won't be seen due to clashes or me being too lazy to move around)
Friday - Bastille, Circa Waves, Declan McKenna, Fatboy Slim, Judas, Kasabian, Louis Berry, Oh Wonder, The Amazons, The Big Moon (really good album out today), The Magic Gang, Two Door Cinema Club
Saturday - Becky Hill, Black Honey, Blaenavon (another good album out today), Cabbage, Eminem, Everything Everything, Glass Animals, Inheaven, Major Lazer, Sundara Karma
Sunday - Blossoms, Haim, Liam Gallagher, Milky Chance, Muse, Ten Tonnes, The Hunna, The Sherlocks, Tom Grennan, VANT, Will Joseph Cook
So more than enough to keep me going!
-
I think the line up looks brilliant. I'm desperate to go this year because I think it beats any UK line up by far, but I work in a school so can't get them time off work
So I'm gonna have to settle for Reading this year I think.

TDCC were booked to sub though weren't they? Or was HAIM originally subbing 2nd? Can't even remember.
Haim were booked second or third down NME last year. Can't remember exactly but it definitely wasn't nme headliner, that was always two door.

Damn, I was really hoping Jamie T would be at Reading. I'm a big fan but never managed to catch him live

Royal Blood have been announced for a festival in Japan the week before Reading. Does this make them more/less likely?
BST Hyde Park 2017

I had a great time at Kings of Leon yesterday. Arrived at about 5pm and got myself a wristband. I then got a bit merry down at the cocktail bar and then arrived back for Kings of Leon and loved it. I do agree that the system was a bit unfair, I did see individuals grabbing 3 or 4 wristbands at a time. They shouldn't be allowed to do it. Being in that front pit really made all the difference though. I was miles away for Mumford last year and didn't really enjoy it.
Also managed to meet up with someone whilst in London today who had a spare ticket for the killers, so I'll be back tomorrow!
