Beady Eye possibly pulling out

[efcfanwirral]

Sande?

[Com Truise]

Nah - it'll need to be someone who the beyonce fans wont be bothered about - I think Courteeners getting bumped up myself but I suppose they could get another manchester band like Happy Mondays or something?

[Boris The Spider]

Yeah, I did mean was he watching her when The Charlatans were on ha. Sande isn't on Beyonce day anyway I don't think.

[Pothuthic]

Yeah was probably Emeli actually, although I left her 1/2 way through to go and see Aiden Grimshaw

[daniel.k]

was she good when you saw her last year? I think we will be seeing her but not 100%

[Boris The Spider]

Maximo Park for me.

[Indie53]

Says it all that nobody gives a shit about Beady Eye pulling out, horrific band. Wanted to watch The Courteeners then Beyonce so hope they aren't pushed up, but they will be.

[dentalplan]

Liam should have pulled out

[Com Truise]

Liam should have pulled out

[daniel.k]

haha

[Boris The Spider]

Ha

[Rose-Colored Boy]

thank fuck for this news, not only do I not have to die slightly less happy for knowing that I once shared a field with Liam Gallagher, but if the Courteeners step up it'll be less rammed for Beyoncé, re-fucking-sult!

[daniel.k]

If everyone moves up a slot, then it will throw our clashfinders out I dont think Beyonce will have a much smaller crowd than what they would against BE

[Boris The Spider]

The main stage is going to be packed for Beyoncé whoever the second headliner may be.

[daniel.k]

Yeah, I am thinking I will watch all of The Script and miss out on DJ Fresh to get a half decent place for Beyonce.

How many rows do you think will be waiting all day at the main stage just for Beyonce

[Boris The Spider]

Some weirdos will be, then they'll desperately need a wee as soon as she comes on & have to move

[MusicMatters]

Tip for any stage - head to the sides, you can get really close without getting squashed.

[Boris The Spider]

Yeah, I usually stand to the side. I find I can see better a bit further back anyway because unless you're at the very front then you're just going to have a view of the back of someone's head

[efcfanwirral]

Loads will wait all day I imagine. Atmosphere for James will be as bad as it was for the manics in 2011 because of it.

I don't think beady eye or courteeners will make any difference to the second stage crowd size- same people will watch either I think. Courteeners headlining will make it more lively though. 1.5 hours of courteeners in the dark at V will be brilliant.

[Boris The Spider]

There's not much point being at the front anyway because nowadays the barrier is miles from the stage!

[daniel.k]

Looking at the clash finder, I would like Beady Eye to pull out and everyone move up a slot so I can see TDCC then Of Monsters and Men. Standing at the sides dont you get a worse view and sound is abit worse I heard

[Boris The Spider]

You'd only have a restricted side view if you were too far forward.

[daniel.k]

Usually from what I have seen of where people go for standing concerts the front row fills up straight away, then a few rows deep in the middle then it goes to the sides then it keeps repeating. People like being in the middle When I went to see Passenger it was like that, I got second row on the left where as some people that were infront of me in the queue were 5 or 6 rows back in the middle. It was a small place so everyone got good sound and it was a good atmosphere

[Boris The Spider]

Would they bump everyone up or bump a few of the later ones & slide someone in he middle?

[Boris The Spider]

Not Passenger again
