    Last tour saw them on the wed and came out and bought a ticket to go again the Friday! Great impulse buy, the power of their live set! Definitely more reluctant to purchase tickets right away for anything, a bit vulturous but there seems to be tickets available for most things closer to the time, can chance my arm on getting, at worse, a face value ticket. No longer turn my nose up at arena seats either, not as detrimental to the experience as I thought.

    From Daves recent book :"Upon first meeting, our bond was immediate and we grew closer with every day, every song, every note that we ever played together," he wrote. "We are absolutely meant to be and I am grateful that we found each other in this lifetime."

    The tour announcement rush has kicked off this morning with Sigrid announcing dates for next year.

    This was one of my hypothetical future "when gigs are back" must sees at a time when nothing seemed hopeful.  Gonna get tickets for my niece for Xmas (90% for me let's be honest 😁)

    Incredibly naive for anyone to go thinking it'd be "safe" or it was a test event in anything but name only. No requirement to actually do a test, double vaccinated and children can have covid , even if you avoided crowds you were sharing toilet facilites? No real follow up,  no real tracking of whether attendees were vaccinated or showed test . What can be learned from it ? I went knowing it was absolutely a gamble and was I willing to isolate /get ill afterwards. After seeing double vaccinated people in my life get symptomatic covid likely from a restaurant meal, weighed up that covid is going anywhere and I don't want to shut myself in forever.

    Lynks was great fun as an opener. Interesting test how I felt about crowds. Didn't bother me at all tbh. Kept more distant with less dense crowds. Shame I couldn't find their late night set.

    Acts I hadn't really heard before I enjoyed- The Staves , Dream Wife,Lola Young, Longest Johns (not normally my kinna thing but I got a bit emotional seeing families dancing and having fun, maybe sleep deprivation kicking in then 😉 haha)

    Acts I knew - CMAT, Cherym, Just Mustard & Orla Gartland. Sunrise was a lovely wee area.  Nicer toilets, shorter bar queue, shade. Trekked there rather than wait on main stage queues.

    Highlights- Hot Chip was right in amongst it, took a bit of a fuck it risk but what a release . Dancing in the dark cover was euphoric. Chem bros were amazing, didn't stop dancing . Was ready to stop as my feet aching but started up again for the encore. Gonna try and go see them at trnsmt (I'll stand at the back and go late to avoid the kids but that convinced me it'd be worth it.) Bombay bicycle club were my 2nd last gig and I was really quite sad when I saw them so had a great time singing along and dancing to a well-paced set 🙂

    Honourable mentions to Club de fromage , discoshed picking me up when I was ready to leave and abba disco for just being fun and an atmosphere that everyone just wanted to squeeze everything out of this weekend and why not!

    Right sorry to bring this up again but what purpose does the retest serve ? 

    'Bring spare lateral flow tests with you if you’re not using the NHS Covid Pass to access the festival. Lateral flow test results are valid for 48 hours, please retest after this time and report your result to the GOV.UK website; no need to return to the festival gates. If you receive a positive result please attend an on-site medical area immediately.'
