Pendulum LIVE (a rarity) alongside Slipknot makes the day worth it alone imo

They also have food trucks along the road between the campsite and the arena which take euros and they do breakfast foods in the morning. They aren't any cheaper but you do get bigger portions.

In the UK Liam plays to bigger audiences in one gig than these two would put together over a whole tour.

Liam is really under Editors AND Pixies? That boggles this Brits mind.

They're way too big for that. They play the O2 in a few weeks.

Did it last year and stayed in Manchester and got the train. It's honestly a nightmare and we didn't even experience the worst of it. Half the festival goes to that train station to catch the train to either Manchester or Leeds and the majority are going Manchester. On the Saturday we had to queue for hours (no way to go toilet and shit loads of police about) as they sorted replacement buses until eventually a train came, we were first on but it ended up absolutely packed I'm not sure if everyone got on. You do have to leave early on Sunday because it's a fair walk to the station, longer than google maps would have you believe because you have to walk all the way round the park. We missed the last half hour of Catfish to get to the station on time. Because it was such a nightmare the day before we looked for Ubers and managed to find one that would take us back to our hotel for about £30-40 I can't remember wasn't much tho because we're cheap and it was before the headliner had finished. Woke up next morning and saw on twitter that the one Sunday train to Manchester had been cancelled leaving shit loads of mostly teenagers and young adults stranded in Warrington and Ubers were £100+. Getting the train there is very easy well worth it but just pay the money to get taxis back and prebook or leave early and try get a cheaper uber I'd say. On the plus side the festival is probably the most well run I've been to in the UK, clashes weren't too bad and sound was good at both stages. Never waited more than a few minutes to buy a drink, bar staff very friendly, some cool stuff to do like the corner shop dj and the church which is a good way to kill ten minutes. Food was the best I've had at a fest bar none, get the beef nachos and beef wrap from the mexican stand it was unbelievable and actually worth the £20. Drug dogs weren't arsed about the joint in my pocket half inch from their nose either if you're into that, made the food all the more better tho haha.

Showed up a couple weeks before the festival in 2019 IIRC

Jesus Christ is that what classes as rock nowadays

Forgot when the gigs I'd booked years ago were and I'd have to go from London (Hella Mega tour) to Manchester (Foo Fighters) to Werchter then back to Birmingham for Foos on Tuesday I think that's me out haha

It's a good job Olivia Rodrigo did get famous because if she'd gone uni she would've been kicked out for plagiarism in five minutes.

Macca gotta be nailed on for TW Classic 2, very tempted to see if I can stick around for that second weekend.

Hellfest Europe exclusive.

£50 plus fees more than likely

Can't argue with this

Clashing Sam Fender with Lewis Capaldi boggles the mind.

Max number of acts on main stage that day too (seven).

Again dude can you find me another festival where the headliner dropped out with half a years notice and they just bumped up the sub to replace them, because you said this happens all the time.

You're spending your day telling people who have spent 125 euro to see a band cry babies because said band has cancelled with no possibility of a refund. Get a grip.

How much of a boot licker do you have to be to defend not replacing a headliner five months prior.

Yeah half my group now want to sell their tickets and we're all wishing we had doen Mad Cool instead, they definitely win the lineup this year by a long shot.

As if Greta Van Fleet is second down AGAIN fml

Every single new act put together doesn't make up for the loss of Queens of the Stone Age, absolutely gutted.

Liam Gallagher, Lorde, Disclosure, Stormzy, Gang of Youths, Glass Animals, Wolf Alice, Parcels, The Struts, Tom Grennan, Arlo Parks, IDLES, Fontaines DC, Alfie Templeman, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Easy Life, Jamie XX, Big Thief, Tones & I, Sea Girls, Kennyhoopla, Courtney Barnett is my (optimistic) guess
