  1. System probably the closest to a crossover for me. And LCD headlined Other - probably equal in the minimal extent of a ‘casual’.
  2. While far from top shelf, it ain’t half as bad as some of you are making out. Gutted I’m not going to be there. And there’s at least 4 x acts per day that I’d love to see. Plenty of chaff as usual, and the older lot have seen a lot before - but that ain’t the festivals fault.

    SZA

    Loved CTRL and she’s clearly a big deal but I remain to be convinced she’s got the chops for a headliner spot. Seen her sub at coachella in 18 and left nonplussed. The live show that’s on Apple Music at the moment is very autotune heavy. Her recent shows were very production heavy so it’ll be interesting to see if she tries it like LDR attempted last year. Drew Barrymore is a stone called tune mind!
  4. For me, they barely put a foot wrong for their first three. Quickly went south after. Knocked Up is an absolute banger.
  5. Where is her Head was the best song on the album and an absolute beast live.
  6. I missed Newcastle but my mates review was practically verbatim other than the earplugs. On late, awful sound, left early! Other than the pyramid slot with RZA in 2011, I’ve not been to a wu tang / solo show where they haven’t phoned it in.

    2024 New Music

    This is ace. They're so obvious in who they pastiche but it works a treat. Hope they're touring over here this year.
  8. Not convinced that the closer you are, the better the experience. I was miles away for blur and it was still the best show ive ever seen.
  9. in no particular order…. Fender @ SJP Bruce @ Villa Park Young Fathers @ Boiler Shop Self Esteem with Northern Symphonia @ Glass House Blur @ City Hall Max Cooper @ Boiler Shop National @ First Direct The Unthanks @ Glastonbury CMAT @ Uni Reg @ Glastonbury
  10. In no particular order, albums by: CMAT The National Steve Mason Jungle Grillaz Teenage Fanclub Quiet year for me
  11. I thought they’d managed to stop the multiple buying. Recall it being a real problem in 2011 with people just using the back button to get piles and piles. Fair enough if people are getting lucky again but if it’s allowing multiple purchases that’s a bummer.
  12. Tell you what though, I'll never understand those who are on here at 9:05 complaining that they cannot get through. If you're not putting the graft in, dont be surprised if you dont come out with tickets on the other side.
  13. 29/51 we had a few that got kicked out at payment page that would have bumped that up a bit. We've benefitted last year from peoples similar misfortune when we got them after the sold out sign was up. Disappointed but philosophical.
  14. 29/51 this year, but I wasn't part of the lucky bunch. Hard to bare at the moment but hey ho, having had 100% success since 2008 it had to come to an end at some point. +1 for the postcode issue, there's a rabbit off somewhere with one of their databases!
  15. Forgotten to get my coffee out of my lucky efestivals mug. Gonna have to have a second cup now!
  16. It’s not even Damon’s best album from this year
  17. he doesn’t seem to be the joking type so I guess this is gonna be it. f**ker has consistently nailed practically each feature he’s done since he left outkast. I gave up on a solo album years ago, now he trolls us with a load of flutes?
  18. Must have heard A Hard Days Night a thousand times but only today did I realise their was bongos on it. Bot hit and miss for me. Red Album and Magical Mystery Tour are ace. Walrus and Bulldog not so much.
  19. I always try and have a web browser open with the account setup of its days leading up to a popular gig. Assuming not all push notifications are the same it’s still a lottery but I’ve had success in the past
  20. There was a standard presale for SoL which was easy enough to source what was required. How much were golden circle? Felt distinctly uneasy pressing the button on those tickets this morning. Inflation busting raise from last year for both ticket and fees, cannot just blame the promoter. As long as we keep stumping up they’ll keep hiking up.
  21. £110 for back of the pitch at Villa this year for comparison
  22. Though saying that, is that Werchter date a festival?
  23. Whilst I’d take it in a heartbeat I still think he’s one and done. Good news with Sunderland though
  24. The rumoured venues I saw last month didn’t go further north than Sunderland. Whether they’re s as accurate is anyone’s guess!
