I'd like it to be 3 days but it won't happen I don't think :-/ wonder why V don't go 3 days. If they make money on 2 days they should be able to make money on the third. Hendrix Beatles and Clash wouldn't be my dream 3 but I'd watch them to say I was there :-D

Yeah which they could bill as 3 days. The money they would sell for the extra day would help them, although it would mainly only be day tickets extra to the normal sales. Roughly what percentage of tickets are day tickets for each day. I would pay a bit extra for the extra day but not over £205 as that's glasto price

Yeah true plus I got a coach ticket that tool it up to £250. Does glasto price include booking fee or not in the 205

Blindly that's a lot my rock werchter plus travel came to about 260 and that's a 4 day fest and pukkelpop with travel came to about 200 for a 3 day fest.

It was 260 including travel :-0 I'm going the wrong place :-P pukkelpop is same weekend ain't it? Something is same as V :-P

How come European feats can be a lot cheaper

Yeah same weekend.

People say less competition, pay the headliners less etc etc. You get free travel once your in belguim which is fantastic and in my opinion alot better lineups than uk fests And I get editors as headliners.

I actually think all round that Bilbao BBK is great value for money this year.

Werchter is decent, especially Sunday I'd say although not fussed on Editors as closer but it still wouldn't get my money.

I like V line up more than pretty much anywhere else. There's people I want to see in every slot and I'd rather have Beyonce and Calvin Harris than editors and sigur ros :-) although you get more days

Taken out green day and put in the mighty sigur ros for ya!!!

Aren't green day playing there? I thought they were :-P I havnt checked any of the line ups in a while I got bad phone signal here.

Who is at Bilbao

Yeah green day are headling the thursay, I will be watching sigur ros who are headlining another stage. Great three on the smaller stage with biffy/bloc party/sigur ros following each other.

Ahh right thought I saw it somewhere :-P biffy headlining reading but third on pukklepop does that show they don't deserve a headline slot :-P

3rd on 2nd stafe at Werchter not pukkelpop, no they deserve to headline in the uk just not popular elsewhere. It will be goid to see them in a hot sweaty tent, kasabian play low on the bill in belguim aswel.

On the flip side though editors headline over there, so its what your tastes are.

Yeaahhh. Looking at the T splits they are real similar to V. Different days but courteeners subbing second, Beady eye and Calvin heading second, script and stereophonics subbing main. And people tried telling me dizzee wouldn't sub second as he is subbing glasto :-P if he does it at T he would at V I think.

The Friday is the only day I wouldn't have gaps on, Saturday has a gap in the middle and Sunday has a gap at the beginning for me so I'm glad I got V ticket

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
