Spent the last half hour trying to work out who to see and who will clash. Im guessing the friday will be okay then saturday and sunday will be a clusterfuck of half sets and sprints around the park.

Right....

I'm gonna make a prediction!

There will be no Emperor Camping next year....they'll be a price increase in excess of £20 and it'll all be dressed up as "bringing it into line with other festivals of its size"

Just my thoughts

I assume by getting everyone to come off at J39 (as opposed to J40 for northerners) they ensure that they dont have a line of traffic held up as cars try to turn right into Emperors drive from the A6 heading south.

Like the idea of a massage tent - note to self not to ask for a happy ending!

I had a vision during the Wickerman burning last night.

Wickerman is a festival that is clearly comfortable with its size whereas KC want to take over the world!

Once promoters get involved the main driver is money!

My post wasn't intended to be negative....it may never happen and even if it does it may even make it a better festival.

If KC is to continue to grow at the rate the new regime want it to, there will need to be fast return moneywise.

They have said that they are looking to increase the size....do you really think there will be any room for Emperor in the process? Is the hassel that the organisers have faced over the last few weeks really worth it? I'm not so sure!

    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.  
    • Dream Blink day    Blink - Turnstile - Neck Deep - The Story So Far 
    • The vibe for Avalanches was spectacular, but i totally understand not wanting to wait in a queue for however long it was.   I had to miss Ethel Cain to queue. Bit annoying, but I had never seen the Avalanches before (either live or DJ set) and it was every bit as joyful as I hoped.   Great little stage, either way.
