I might not even record the third one, i might watch select sets on YouTube

Thats what I do and stream it on the big tv, love putting full sets of gigs/fest sets. Got warpaint on at the minute, stunning.

I dont know if there are many full sets from IOW this year on youtube, my connections abit slow at the moment

No idea, you will probably get more full sets from gigs/sets abroad. Thats what ive found, the one I am watching is a live set for brazillian tv.

I think the IOW information does lead to Mumfords doing V 2014 and maybe Bestival, think they would fit in well at Bestival actually. To maybe balance them at V I could see a guitar band, as alot of people will think

I think they are more pop than proper guitar band as such. By guitar band I mean more like Foos, KoL, Kasabian, Killers...anyone begining with K to be honest :P

they are and when this argument comes up for V fest, I look directly as the likes of YMA6 and All Time Low and they are R&L all over. Reading would pull a massive crowd with Mumford.

For me i would have an act every slot. Imagine Dragons, Everything Everything, Rudimental, of monsters and men, chase and status then mumfords so I would maybe have got a ticket if they were cheaper than £70 for half a day

I don't think T's undercard is great friday for Mumford's base

Over 80 quid for that day though is pretty expensive, especially when its a mini day. Another reason is that kinross is quite remote and no where near glasgow/edinburgh.

So you have the added expense getting from glasgow/edinburgh , we used to get the over night coach with was an experience.

Then maybe hotels on top of that and spending money and it all mounts up.

No suprise that v day tickets sell well due to chelmsford beibg easy to get to and weston park being quite central in the midlands aswel.

I do think day tickets are extortianate nowadays.

Its £70 for the friday isnt it? I might have read it wrong though. I think festival ticket prices are getting higher now but I guess the acts are asking for more money now. As I have said before, I would love V to make it 3 days, even if it was like what T do and have a half a day, but I cant see it working like that due to the split locations so it would have to be like Leeds. It would make more sense for them to be 3 days to compete more directly with R&L

Are any V tickets sold out yet? Has Beyonces day sold out for both places

After booking fee and postage it will be over 80 quid.

Yeah and I thought weekend tickets would have been snapped up, especially with Beyonce and now the full line up being announced. I dont think V could have sold out as quick as they have before even if they had another huge act instead of Kings of Leon ie Coldplay. Glasto only sells out because of the name and the prestige

Judging by the facebook comments when Bey was maybe pulling out, alot of people are going just for Bey so im surprised she hasnt sold her day yet. Rihanna sold her day for T hasnt she? Ill check that, but I would have thought there would be alot of people that didnt get to see her at Glasto or on her tour, so would want to go to V

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
