I hope not. Unless Jamie decides to play a few Scarfo tunes instead. WHAT a band they were....

Course, i AM a miserable f**ker. 😉

Yeah, the headliners are VERY 'meh'Lots on the undercard. Which, if it was a few years ago, would be great! Now we (me and my partner) are merely glorified slaves to our bloody kid. So chances on watching the undercard are hit & miss (although we DID see a fair bit in far out, thanks to platform access keeping the kid sweet). I guess it depends on who is headlining the other 2 stages. I end up feeling a bit......frustrated.

I hate all this cryptic nonsense. Us dumbasses will never have a clue.

Nadine Shah. Dont think she's anywhere else. Reckon she could headline far out. Just a hunch.

Sometimes, der kidz need frightening. Being scared by music can be good. 🙂

Makes me wish I lived near Cardiff. You lucky peoples!

Bit gutted about Sleater Kinney being at EOTR. 😞

Ah....ok. Did not know this. Fair do's.

Just a hunch. So take it with a vat load of salt. But.....Daughter didn't really play much last year when their album came out..... I can see them being on somewhere.

OR....Sugababes? 😜

😞

Be still my beating heart....

ah man....that looks great. And, once again, we are gonna be in wales at green man instead. The world is a cruel place.

Thank you Mahonypeepee and Fish Bulb. Very helpful. Train home back it is. 🙂

I misread that as OPM. As in....'heaven is a halfpipe'.....*shudder*

Hello. Sorry to be dragging up an old thread. However....wanted some advice about this years event. ME and the partner are doing their 'Dalston Takeover' thing on the 11th of November. But....getting information on this seems impossible. SO.......has anyone else been to past Pitchforks? Do they go on till late or is it a 'finish at 11' job? Just wanna know if we need a room for the night in london town or not is all. Thanks. x

I thought it was funny. Bit of harmless fun, innit. It sold our in a few hours last time. And was a mindf**k to actually get them too. So.....good luck to all.

nope.

OK....so.....*deep breath* I am a trolley bastard. We have a kid. This was her third Green Man. IT was my.......er.....8th? WE had a lovely time. I understand how they can be a bastard to negotiate. I, like im sure most others, are constantly aware of our surroundings. WE spent a lot of time in Far Out, right at the back. We only did this as there was space to do so. If it ever got busy, we would remove ourselves. Not all trolley users are cnuts. (a separate point : it didnt help on friday when they seemed to section off most of the field at far out for the burning REALLY early! Like, at 4pm or something? Why so early? How are those with modility issues (and, yes, trolley bastards) supposed to negotiate to see something at far out? It was a bit naff. But i digress...) We used a Mr Trolley which, despite being a LOT of effort (they are stupid heavy. Even without a 5 stone kid in it), was a godsend. For context, Our kid has lots of disabilities. One of them which necessitate the use of said trolley is right sided hemiplegia/Cerebal Palsy. She loves to have 'a boogie' (her words) but gets tired very easily due to said CP (which, with some of her other 'issues', can be fatal. Joy of joy's). However, she is in this 'half way' house where she isn't disabled enough (yet) to warrant a wheelchair but is disabled enough to need help. Hence the trolley. Now.......Im not naive enough to think that the trolley haters are anti disabled, obviously. (I should also point out this is NOT a direct attack on Benali, who I have had lots of lovely discussions in the past. I'm just quoting his post to make a point) However....maybe have a little thought in the back of your mind to think that, just maybe, some trolleys might be needed? For whatever reason? Thanks. Whilst Im typing a mini essay, I should also say thanks to the accessibility team for being so great. Luke & Co. work their socks off to make the event as hassle free as possible. ESPECIALLY on the viewing platform in Far Out, which enhanced my kid's festival no end! Oh, and Crows smashed it. All else, no matter how good they were (And there was very good stuff. Obviously. Its bloody Green Man, innit) palled in comparison. And it was great to see Big Jeff at the barrier for Les Savy Fav. Where he belongs. x

hope this works. I am too old for tech.

A map! Yes, it's with the accessibility needs as priority. And does not have everything. However......it IS a map of Green Man 2023. It's happening!!! GM2023_MAP-Accessibility.pdf

Crows, innit.

My first Deer Shed. Not unpleasant at all. Mind you.......instead of it being a 'music festival with added bits in it' it was....a kids weekend fete with added music. Which, for me personally, is the wrong way round. Still.....Ditz were top. As were Sprints. Missed Delgados due to my partner being SO sick, but will see them at Green Man. What else?......I want more Beowolf lager thanks. And disc golf is great.

Thanks! 🙂
