    seems the only show they hadn’t done Final Tickets for (until today) but at the same time it was busy in 2018 and they haven’t played in London much (if at all?) since so hoping for busy but far from packed

    They played BST with Florence And The Machine which I imagine would've satisfied a lot of people. I'll be interested to see the numbers when I get there

    They’re not moving the day, wouldn't work with either the bands or the existing customers.

    They’ll just take a bit of a financial hit and anyone there will enjoy the extra space.

    Beauty of being able to drive is that for me and this partner if we manage to get free/cheap tickets this'll be a nice, apparently chill day out 

  3. Seriously hoping there will be. I've got tickets to The National (did the early bird pre-reveal and decided that was the day me and my partner liked the look of most at the time). 

    If I'm honest I'd deffo get a full priced Nick Cave ticket but the rest of the days there's certainly stuff I want to see but not enough to justify the price. 

    Fingers crossed especially for Tame Impala and Field Day as I want to see Kraftwerk and Caroline Polachek.

    Never been to BST before but I will be there next week for Pearl Jam. Gotta say I hate the sound of this Golden Circle. How close to the stage will I be able to get on a regular ticket? Do I have any hope of seeing the band without watching on a screen? 

    From my experience as a 6ft person who tends to get close(ish) to the barrier you really won't get to see much. I've heard of golden circles at gigs but they've never seemed that restrictive. The one at Hyde Park however very much is so. The only time it's not been too problematic was seeing Roger Waters but for Green Day it ruined the day completely and Neil Young/Bob Dylan wasn't much better. Taking my mate to see the Stones on Sunday as he's desperate otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

    Going to see the Stones on July 3rd. How strict are they regarding bags/rucksacks? Also how important is it getting in at the early entry time? 

    Early entry for this show if I'm honest is pointless. There's a massive Golden Circle at the front which takes up p much half the park and the only way you can get into that or the diamond circle (assuming they're doing that again this year) is to have the super expensive tickets. 

    Early entry - General Admission means you'll get a slightly better view (possibly) of the screens and big trees that flank the stage

    Stage times for the first weekend of events are live on the app.

    Could you screenshot The Rolling Stones, would be good to get an idea of when I need to be there weekend 2.

     

    Cheers

  7. Feel super bad for the people going on the Friday and Saturday.  As much as I love Bjork (and again cannot wait to see her) it's very obvious that they spent all their money on her/the orchestra/the visuals and realised they had two other days and the rest of sunday's bill to fill out.

    i heard from a friend it was one in one out now, security turning people back 

    Surely this if anything is the final nail in the coffin of 'did Primavera oversell the event'.

    Glad I got out of Lorde (who was stellar) as quick as I could. Now just having a nice time at Jesus And Mary Chain

    Yeah dude, having a siesta in the tent keeps the energy levels up.

     

    I don't know if you're hard to impress but look at headliners and undercard from previous years and you'd be happily surprised. 

    Gotta be honest having just had a look at this year's line up its harsh to compare it to primavera. A festival with Snow Patrol as a sub isn't in the same league at all

    The annoying thing is that Bits is actually really great and such a nice vibe, but expecting people to go back and forth to this a couple of times a night is just not going to happen when you have to basically schedule in an hour to get to and from it now, potentially eating into set time of acts at Mordor/etc you might want to see, and because of that it barely makes a dent on the capacity issues in the main bit of the site.

    I just don't know what the solution is to it but it's not really working in its current form. Maybe curating it as an entirely separate thing somehow might work.

    This, there's a few times I wanted to go to bits but for one act and each time I just cba.
