Does anyone know how fast Hard Rock Calling usually sells out?

I mean obviously the Springsteen date will sell out within the hour but me & my friends

are thinking of going to the Kasabian date and wondering whether or not we can get tickets whenever

or if we need to be on at 9am sharp.

Example was only 3rd last year, yes i know hes a wireless festival favorite (09, 10, 11, 12) just i think he would sub and not headline, thinking Basement Jaxx might do it now. I've just changed my mind and just don't think he's quite big enough yet. Perhaps Lovebox?

Three things that make me think this isn't Wireless. Firstly, if you look up the domain info for the Example London 2013 site, it is registered to the promoters of SW4. Next, flyers were given out at Earls Court for it, just like the SW4 organisers did at Brixton Academy for a skrillex gig last year. Finally, I was trawling wall posts on example's Facebook page and he said this London show was 18+, which wireless isn't but SW4 is.

    • 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...
