danny brown would make most sense to me out of all of the rap announcements so far. praying you're right about glassjaw

i hope not. if i wanted to see deftones i would go to download. outbreak's expansion filled a great gap in the market, i hope they don't ruin that.

Presale ends Friday so hopefully an announcement imminently

me too, completely lost my voice after turnstile - it’s back now but (apologies for tmi) not before coughing up black for a couple of hours on the way home

youngest i saw probably about 10. definitely didn’t get family vibes

felt really sparse today. glad i wasn’t interested in anyone post turnstile as i really had had enough lots of dust so don’t wear anything you’re overly precious about. i am filthy. bar queues were very short but the drinks all warm. never queued more than 5 mins. easy to get a good spot for stages with the amount of people there today. searches were really sparse. briefly checked my bag but it was performative. was able to take in an already opened single use bottle of water can’t think of anything else burning that anyone would want to know but my coach doesn’t get in till 6am now so if anyone has any questions fire away ha

it’s corporate hell here here are drink prices 🙂

just signed up for luno one for the fast track entry, was pretty painless and quick so might be worth doing

every time i have opened this today to check the schedule i get this message, doesn’t bode well seeing as though they’ve said tickets need to be shown via this app instead of axs

good luck with it - clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose 🙂

not necessarily a scam site, but there have been enough stories about people getting fake tickets via stubhub, i remember seeing a lot about it for the olivia rodrigo tour, so i would proceed with caution but err closer to twickets and ticketswap

This week, but High Vis on Friday, one of my favourite UK bands

thank you - got a free ticket on the ballot today!!! if you are there on friday i owe you a pint 🙂

absolutely it would be suitable for a 'mainstream fan'! it seems nowadays that bloodstock has tamed a little, and is what download used to be in the 00s, download is what reading used to be in the 00s, reading is what v festival used to be. it's like there's been a shift in appeal. bloodstock gets the balance right i think, i have a lot of friends who go who are really casually into the genre and some friends who live and breathe metal. what kind of music do you like? in terms of independent festivals you have so many options - you could do damnation this november as an all-dayer, outbreak in june, would you be open to travelling abroad?

another competition for those on the lookout https://www.instagram.com/p/ChHeoD_sJ57/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

this is genuinely my plan at the moment!!

as an idles hater, this is pretty perfect for me, but i am worried about leaving turnstile and having enough time to get back to victoria station for 11:30pm

my plan basically, but for Turnstile/Pusha T and legging it to Victoria for the coach

Alternatively, I hated Mayfield for WHP, much preferred Store Street, but will be interesting if Outbreak incorporate Freight Island (would definitely help with food). Could do something in Star and Garter too, maybe have it as an additional breakout stage (WHP have done this I believe). There's no doubt about it, it's going to make life easier for a lot of people it being there. It's definitely hard to see where is up from this year. If anything, I think scaling it back could have worked and had this year as a ten year hurrah and then finding a medium between arena festival and its origin. That said though, with the massively increased capacity, I could potentially see something like: Friday - Hatebreed / Suicidal Tendencies co-headline (with a day of bands like SOIA, bringing back Madball, etc.) TUI would be sick as a special guest, but I think they tried this year and said they got nowhere. A bit of a 'traditional' hardcore day but with some crossover-y bands in too and would be excellent fun. Imagine even Municipal Waste as a stage 2 closer with smaller acts like Grove Street and Overpower below. Would help branching out, capitalise on the Damnation crowd also adjusting to a Manchester move. Saturday - Title Fight reunion or something of a similar vein, maybe a post-hardcore headliner would work. This could work balancing out the weekend by bringing YOT back in support and doing a Walt double, maybe with GB? Imagine RS are exclusive to 2000. Could definitely have some shoegazey stuff on this day. This day could also have more of the contemporary hardcore bands playing, would love to see Spaced play, also bring the likes of Narrow Head back. Sunday - Converge with a wildcard sub, someone like Ho99o9 perhaps. Maybe Malevolence could headline. Not my cup of tea but clearly that vibe went down extremely well this year. More metalcore-y day. It might well be with more stages they could go along the route of having perhaps even something like an RFC stage? Would encourage the weekend drive more than having more defined days to help ticket sales.

Thought a thread might be useful as I'm assuming more information will start to come in soon, such as bringing the payment plans back etc. Waiting for that before I get my ticket, but no chance am I missing next year. Bowlers worked really well imo so disappointed that it's moved to Mayfield Depot, but at least it'll be more easily accessible for people!

hopefully this nails on YOT making up for this year at outbreak, as i think they're consecutive weekends?

much appreciated! have been in hmpps for a year and only got my card last week so amazing timing - thanks again!

are the trains running? i've seen that all trains between manchester and london are heavily impacted by strike and 'unofficial' strike action, and from this sunday til 11th september all tickets are off sale for the foreseeable (was on bbc north west i think).

i'm only going for turnstile and pusha t, thinking it's not worth bothering from manchester now

i've heard there's a golden circle type thing can you pay to get into that as an add-on to your ticket? i am going APE specifically to see turnstile and pusha t and it's not worth the trip from manchester if i have to watch them from a different postcode
