  1. Hey, sorry I’ve only just seen this, are you still up for a swap?
  2. I have a 4 person Bell Tent in Worthy View and looking to swap it for any 2 person tent in Stinklinch - let me know if that suits anyone
  3. Just to chip in, this is absolutely not the case.
  4. Think the harshness of your language has meant people misinterpreting your point. It’s pretty undeniable imo that where metal sits in mainstream culture is vastly different to 10 years ago and basically incomparable to 20/30/40 years ago. As others have pointed out there are literally no bands that have emerged in the past 10-20 years that are in any way comparable in terms of mainstream cultural relevance or commercial success to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Bon Jovi, Motörhead etc etc. that doesn’t mean metal is “dying” (I know you didn’t say it was), it’s just not relevant to mainstream culture and is a subculture. That’s not a bad thing necessarily (I wish electronic music was more of a subculture than it currently is personally), tho it does mean that for big commercial metal festivals, there’s no acts with the mainstream or commercial success to dislodge those acts that found such success when metal was mainstream as a genre.
  5. Ffs that’s so shit, was quietly confident we’d get a HAAi live show. I know she played like 3/4 times last year but the live show looks so good.
  6. Yeah in addition to what someone else said about it not really being 4th down, the Bicep lads are also lovely and I wouldn’t think make too much of a fuss about placement as long as they’re getting paid their fee. Headline lots of fairly tiny festivals.
  7. Haha it’s incessant already must have had about 20 heads on my Insta that were there - thought it was meant to be hard to get tickets! The live show is good I caught it at APE 2021. Production still a million miles from being good enough for West Holts tho.
  8. It’s unlikely as he’s in US but definitely possible. It’s hard to place him as he’s a stage headliner and unsure there’s any logical slot for him, other than West Holts headliner. Not to further dampen your enthusiasm but many of us have seen him in the last few years and it’s very rare anyone in this thread expresses anything other than describing his sets as absolutely terrible. Worst festival headliner I’ve ever seen - generally reviews of his festival sets over the past 18 months have been very bad - so perhaps that also lessens the chances someone like the West Holts bookers has him as a headliner (particularly with Fred Again filling a similar role and having all the hype etc).
  9. Really happy they’re still able to host this after all the incredibly unlucky cancellations they had. Would take loads of these on the farm for sure. Would like VTSS back on her own and in a late night slot. Jennifer Loveless and Taahliah would be great. Hopefully that Folamour show happens this time
  10. Loyle Carner played 4th down Other in 2019, don’t see him moving up one step. he’s definitely West Holts headlinerish level now, maybe 3rd down Pyramid. Also think that’s probably too low for Kelis. also Arlo Parks is not suited to West Holts at all - much better suited to Pyramid/Other/JP given she’s done Park (and guested on both Pyramid and JP in 2022).
  11. Yeah completely agree, straight in the “will be very shocked if he’s not there” bag.
  12. Hey mate don’t think you’ll get toasted think this is actually a really good stab! It’s obvs a little optimistic (GNR in Legends) and think there’s probably too many acts of the the Pyramid sub/Other Headliner size (Florence, The Prodigy, 1975, QOTSA, Pulp, Paramore, Lizzo, Lil Nas X) but I think it’s probs fairly close to what we’ll get in poster 1 based on what acts are about, save it’s missing a number of acts that are likely to be on West Holts (Loyle Carner). And there’s a near zero chance of the XX being on the poster (although they might all be on the farm!).
  13. Basically only doesn’t matter if every song of the legends slot is a singalong. If it’s not, and you’re actually standing listening to them for a few rather than having a laugh with 100k other backing singers, and they sound awful, it’s a different thing.
  14. Nah, which is why I don’t really think they’ll be booked despite the fact theyre a big touring international act in a year of slim pickings - they just don’t really fit. Other Sub only place I think works but as you say don’t suit that slot. Maybe pop up for for a DJ set. Maybe they kind of fit a west holts headliner slot, but it wouldn’t be one I’d endorse.
  15. Nah as someone who saw Rufus just 4 days ago he’s right, it’s a big production and the main thing they have going for them. They wouldn’t really fit or work in JP and they wouldn’t play Park with no screens. Think they’re a potential Other sub maybe - don’t think their particular brand of 00’s style happy clappy singalong dance music is well suited for West Holts.
