she bangs the drums

Surely they are not going to clash Prodigy v Blink 182? No point in having a 40,000 venue with the headliners on at the same time as Main Stage headliner?

I've just ordered mine too! I cannot slag off the line up for the past 5 years and then not put my money where my mouth is when they actually put on a decent line up!

I would definitely buy a weekend ticket for this

1) More friends?! I have had success every year since I started in 2010 with no need to ask hundreds of people to help me. There are literally syndicates on here of 100s of people who don't know each other, and this is being encouraged in the media. It won't be long before someone gets ripped off. If you cannot see this is only making the system a lottery then you are blinded. 2) I don't know the numbers, however I know it happened and will continue to get worse. 3) I have never said people should try and get in for free, there are far to many liggers and people in the festival.

I can't stand Gerry Cinnamon, so to have him over Prodigy is a kick in the bollocks for me. Spiritbox is great addition. I will wait for the first poster drop before deciding if i attend a day / weekend/ not at all.

Sadly it seems to be getting worse with the demand. I didn't get a ticket this time, though i would be strongly against a lottery system

Wow i didn't expect that, thanks for confirming!

I've heard the Lock up stage back this year and Cribs are headlining.....

This list plus Young Fathers and I would be a buying a ticket tomorrow.

By lots of people, you mean syndicates, bots and people manipulating See tickets website? The people trying in groups of 1-6 are left with scraps and a very low probability of success. Basically it has become a lottery system by the nature of people in massive syndicates.

Agreed, as soon as he was announced for Trnsmt, it made him very likely for this. Loads of young people wanting to see him as they have never seen Oasis, especially if he is playing loads of material from Definitely Maybe.

I would agree. I thought i had retired from attending Leeds, however it looks like I'm coming out of retirement!

Liam Gallagher after Prodigy could be like when Arctic Monkeys played after Prodigy in 2009.....

Fair point, though I'm sure some people who are considering doing this are people who would happily pay to get in, though are frustrated at some of the things they have read and seen happen on Sunday. I wasn't successful for the first time since 2010 myself, though wouldn't try to get in for free, I'm just hoping it's more a level playing field in April.

Haven't lots of people already jibbed in by using backdoor links, and creating massive groups of people cornering the market?!....

I walked past this on the Thursday afternoon (about 4pm) and there was a very long queue for the exchange!

My daughter got on on the booking page, however it said does not recognise her details. She re-registered in August, however looks like it did not complete or has been lost First time we have missed out since we started attending in 2010. We had a good run, I hope others have a good time.

I agree with your points though I really enjoyed it and everyone I saw was throwing shapes. I've seen them about 20 times and this was much better than last time I saw them at the Manchester Apollo in 2017 when I thought they lacked e energy. I think they would put on a great performance on the Other Stage?

Young Fathers are touring again in 2024, I wonder if they could headline a date?

Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins and Prodigy.

I won tickets for Strokes APE which is the only time I've used it

Spot on, the 1 Xtra stuff is now main stage material. Could easily have a rock and indie tent and keep many people happy. Bands like Turnstile, Murder Capital, Wunderhorse, Cassyette, Cancer Bars, Bronx

Agreed, which means the festival is missing out on this type of clientele attending. A few people above have said that the festival has always attracted a younger audience which is true, however people 21 years and upwards do not seem to be attending and this has gradually reduced over the past 10 years with changes to the line up and stage choice. It was obvious the direction the festival was going into when they introduced the Radio One Xtra Stage which the youth were most interested in. I would probably have still attended this year if the NME tent and the Lock Up / Pit had provided a viable alternative to the Main Stages which I had little interest in as a 49 year old.

It shows how this festival has distanced itself from the punters who post on here as it's really quiet post festival. There are usually lots of messages about which bands were good, experiences from the weekend. Apart from one or two messages it's really quiet.

More time for the current clientele to be back at their tents?!
