  1. If Tracy Chapman and Stevie Nicks both play, me & Mrs 4am would be delighted. Headliners wouldn’t matter.
  2. They definitely went on record that Lizzo was co-headlining. Lizzo even referenced it in interviews.
  3. Similar - Frank Turner: Avalon (2), Strummerville, Other and Greenpeace, so 5 in total.
  4. You could buy one off Fleabay/Gumtree for that.
  5. Won't sell out for sure, so you'll have options closer to the time. FWIW I mirror other sentiments that they are good musicians, but not exactly charismatic showmen and the production will be basic.
  6. Tracks 11 through 20 - ALL THE FEELS. 👍
  7. Been banging the Lennox drum for years. Great shout on the tracks above but could easily add another 5-6 and it would still be solid gold. One can hope and dream, but I doubt it's every gonna happen. 🥺

    SZA

    I think the problem here is the Pyramid crowd. Unlike any of the other stages on site, it suffers from a huge amount of people who stay there all day, never move and want to see/hear mainstream stuff they've heard on Radio 2. Pluss a high percentage of camp chair Nazis and picnic blanket NIMBY's. The Venn overlap between that crowd and SZA's output is very, very small and I don't see them warming to some of her themes.
  9. First few fests we went down in a Ford Focus. 3 blokes, 1 sack barrow, 3 rucksacks, quite a big tent to carry and about 4/5 trays of booze. The car was packed at that. With a 4th person and more gear it would have been impossible. These days it's just me & Mrs 4AM, however we do still have a big rucksack each and loads of booze, plus a 4 wheel garden trolley, a 4 person tent, cool box, camp chairs and sometimes take bits for others too.
  10. Yes please. Bad Seeds live needs to be in the dark.

    SZA

    I thought similar. Couldn't see it hyping a crowd of potentially 40k+ people.
  12. This is my approach. Smaller venues up to Academy sized and you're usually £50 max incl. fees. Smaller venues have better atmosphere IMO anyway and I've discovered some great bands/artists this way by taking a punt on a £15-£20 ticket for an act I don't know, but in a local venue I like.
  13. Yeah, that's a pain at times but the Other field is so open on all sides I've always found it quite easy to navigate through the crowds. Especially if you come in from either side.

    SZA

    Gave SZA another good listen last night - both albums and a few of the collaborations. Not for me I'm afraid. Bang average IMO. No shade on the Fest if they are giving her a headline slot though. Clearly a huge artist on the way up and I'd be more than happy to be away from the Pyramid that night.
  15. The whole crowd crust thing is mad. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been for a piss/drink and had to almost fight back through a 20 metre deep wall of gawpers around the edge of the field. Pyramid seems to be the worst, but I've experienced it at all the outdoor stages to some degree. I know everyone claims TLC at Holts was rammed, but from the sound stage to the wall of vendors as far back as Brothers there was loads of room.
  16. Already seen them twice. And I'll be on holiday in Egypt that weekend!
  17. I'd take it. Great live band with a huge catalogue of tunes. They'd be great.
  18. 🤣🤣🤣 Proper tickled me that did!
  19. I got me & Mrs 4AM tickets for The Hives at Rock City and Teskey Brothers at the O2 Apollo in Manc and whilst face value was about £40, once all the "handling" and "facility" and "booking" fees were included, there wasn't much change out of £100.
  20. Don't know if you've seen the price of gig tickets these days, but I highly doubt that statement! I hate the big, soulless arena/stadium gigs generally so usually only go to smaller venues and I'm still dropping £50 or more on a ticket on most gigs once you factor in fees etc. unless it's a relatively unknown act.
  21. Sounds more plausible if me/our group are a representative sample (c. 40 people between 17 - 55 y.o) Only 4 out of the group have even heard of SZA, but everyone would be up for O-Rod.
  22. I'll be honest, with my eyes I was struggling to make out the difference in the little symbols! Shame as I'd have been up for it if he was supporting.
  23. Honestly, it doesn't need the mat, it's very comfy as it is and as you're off the ground it stays warmer with just a sleeping bag.
