Wtf it crashed dead on 10am

Wait, when it ticket sale day? Have I missed something?

I was there, you’ve just reviewed Reading Fest in general, not the Arctics.

Ahhhh surely got to be replaced right?

Would love Tame day if available 🥳🥳

Need to find that comp where “everyone” wins - there’s normally one

Did anyone “win”?

Hahaha

241 at south facing (the Crystal Palace gigs with London Grammer, Bombay etc.) Sadly Jungle isn’t on the page - the one I’d have bitten on. https://shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/south-facing-241?j=3328769&l=20473_HTML&u=170377726&mid=1314420&jb=42003&et_mid=3328769&et_rid=584345219&sfmc_sub=584345219&utm_source=eml-tm_so02_22_07_07_south-facing-241-secondsend_mu&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1314420_3328769_7/7/2022

Dua Lipa / Elton John / Arctic Monkeys

Can’t stop listening to the recording on BBC Sound, really is special.

What is the hacks for the piss and shit covered seat on the long drops? Every time I needed number 2 I went for the safety of the compost toilets.

Ah fuck, ticket nightmare incoming.

Other Stage doesn’t have this. You thinking of somewhere else?

Nailed it.

Chris Martin

I was told by people how amazing it would be and all I saw was an old bloke wearing a shit hat pressing play on a CD full of camp Casio keyboard presets.

From a positive perspective, once you were in a busy crowd I thought almost across the board they were really up for every act this year. Big energy. Perfect storm of covid release / weather / more (?) young’uns

I mean I’m 99% sure there was a live band (surely no backing track can sound that alive) but I’d be a little pissed playing in that band and not seeing the crowd reaction 😂 There was a slightly weird moment where some people came on stage after he finished for a selfie. Maybe the band getting a moment?

Soooo it’s been 3 years and I’ve forgotten… how do I download sets from iPlayer?

This is the number one. After a band finishes, exit left only, enter right only. Put on the screens. Job done.

Find the lack of brain function in crowds fascinating. Like queuing for the loos at the back of Other in a queue 15/20 deep when there’s an identical set of loos 20m further on without a queue. If you see something busy or people queuing at Glasto (or anywhere) remember to engage System 2 brain before giving in.

Christ, kids these days.
