[Seanoooo]

Not been on here in quite a while, two questions..

Do we have any idea who the secret act is?

And, someone link me to a Leeds clash finder please

[Yellow_Fellow]

That's only 1 question

the answer being no

[Seanoooo]

Oops, sound

[Rose-Colored Boy]

And, someone link me to a Leeds clash finder please

was mad tough that google search

[mrtourette]

Looking at the 'secret act' thread would have been exhausting as well.

Does anyone really know what's going on with the Lock Up stage on the Jimmy Eat World day? Are we just assuming they're finishing before the main stage headliners or will LU start late?

They'll finish early; at least before the final headliner on the main stage, as Brody Dalle definitely won't clash with QOTSA at either site.

NME posted an article of the 5 worst clashes at RandL this year and its got some times on it.

Guys, have any of you been i gigs and festivals on your own before (i think i know the answer)

next year everyones off to uni and im on my own... I fancy volunteering at a few festivals but I also want to go to some (Glastonbury) but i would be on my own also gigs too...

So any tips from the seasoned pro's

[tyranicide]

I've been to a few gigs on my own but not a festival. I usually try talking to people in the que if I'm there early, and people around between bands, and sometimes just stand there really awkardly till the band come on.

I'm interested to see how Gerard Way is going to go down,

I'm doing Reading this year solo for the first time (been the past 3 years with friends but none can make it and as I've gotten hold of a cheap ticket and I'm local I'm doing it). I'm not too worried tbh as if you're easy going enough, you can make friends with people quite quickly at both festivals and gigs (gigs less so though in my experience). Volunteering solo is a fantastic way to meet new people and have a great weekend with tons of people you've never met before, so I'd say do it

I've been to gigs by myself and it id just fine. I tend to arrive before the first band come and just stand around totally awkwardly until the band come on and when it is full swing no one cares.

Also I'm going to volunteer at a few festivals next year by myself (may see if I can get some to volunteer at T but I wouldn't be bothered) and I don't see an issue in it at all to be honest and I'd think it be easier to meet people that way rather than going into the general camping as more people would be going solo. Also you could meet other people who'd use this forum and camp with them. Like me

Yer im hoping to volenteer at some big ones (IOW, Download, Leeds, Bestival ect...) but want to pay for Glasto and a few smaller ones as i want to experience them

[the wonderwhy]

I've been to loads of gigs on my own now, sometimes I meet people and get chatting, sometimes I don't. Either way it doesn't detract from the experience and nobody cares that you're on your own anyway.

If you're worried just take a pen & notepad and pretend to be a journalist

IOW and Download are the same weekend

Anyway I'm thinking of T, Soni (if it is on), Latitude and either Glasto or Leeds depending on what festival me and my mates do next year. I'd do Download if I didn't have exams just after it but I probably will

[kemosabe]

I might do that... I think i will shout out any gigs/festivals im going to on here so maybe i can meet up for a drink (also will take note what others are seeing to see if im there)

[rawaudioinput]

I went to a few festivals on my own this year and it's easy enough to make friends, especially when volunteering

Bring a lighter; that's the easiest way to make friends quick

Best advice anyone's given so far.

[Gucci Piggy]

What if you struggle to make friends?

[rawaudioinput]

Bring more lighters

[justanothername]

Probably a few cans as well to offer to people in case they don't smoke

[Gucci Piggy]

I'd just accept the lighter and set your hair on fire.

[dentalplan]

Or just give them money.
