Set Your Goals apparantly 'self-confirmed' when they were playing their shows with YMA6 at the end of 2010. Like it says above there was a few emails floating about from Slam Dunk about the 2011 festival so it looks like it will be happening.

Heard a rumour that the Leeds venue was getting changed as they couldn't secure the usual place. If they use the same venue in Hatfield they better get the crowd control sorted this time, last year was a bit of a mare :(

Hopefully they have 'Slam Dunk Scotland' again, allowed us to see all the bands we missed in Hatfield cause of the crowd bother :)

Really hope so, it didn't rain too heavy during the day last year and was only a little bit damp underfoot even after all the rain the night before so it could definitely hold up outside for a big crowd.

Saw the website has been updated - LINK

Hopefully an announcement soon so cheap hotels and flights can be booked!

Out of interest did anyone on here go out in Hatfield before/after the festival? We ended up at the after party thing in the venue which was a bit of a washout. The only places we found in Hatfield all had house music blaring out and St George's flags hanging all over the place...we didn't think our strong Scots accents would go down too well so drank in the hotel the night before :lol:

I though the Leeds show was going to be in Millennium Square this year? The organisation in the uni was horrendous.

Also, I truly hope they don't have Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish headlining separate stages at the same time. Alkaline Trio and New Found Glory on at the same time last year was horrendous. If they have LTJ and RBF on at the same time they want shooting.

Ah, fair enough, not sure where I read that.

What happened in Herts again? The organisation in Leeds Uni was awful with huge queues to get into the place at first then queuing to get to the smaller stages. It just seemed like they had sold too many tickets. Also, no drinks allowed in one of the rooms...?!

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
