If they were good at Manchester they were f*cking amazing in London - dropped The Way Out is Through and Piggy and bought in Reptile and The Big Come Down - I know which two I'd rather have :) (though we lost Somewhat Damaged for Now I'm Nothing :) ). Plus Gary Numan came on during Metal, and stayed for his 'Cars' too. Unbelievable night.

well it was Jane's Addiction who paved the way for alternative bands hitting the mainstream when at a time everyone was listening to shitty hair metal bands like poison and motley crue....due to this a lot of alternative bands such as NIN got a lot more coverage than they would of got. also perry farrell helpd NIN immensly by getting them slots on the lollapalooza tour

I saw them last night and they were really good. They again opened with Somewhat Damaged and played the Numan and Bowie tracks. I was a bit disappointed by no Closer or Something I Can Never Have, but no-one else seemed that fussed :lol:

They should be kick-arse! Although i gotta say something about the O2 gig - amazing start, great ending.... but i thought the middle section sagged a little. I reckon Sonisphere will be better as they'll have a shorter set and just crank it from start to finish.

NIN shows always have the 'slow' middle section where they throw out some of the instrumental tracks or generally less guitar based tracks. They usually step up the visuals during that middle section but since this was a stripped back style of show it didnt have the same impact it sometimes does. I still thought it worked well though.

    • Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...
    • I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.
    • After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare     
    • 6music just shared a video of all of Fontaines DC singing along to the Cure last night. It'll be them. Booooo    Olivia might get up for I Love You though...
