[Babyquack]

Wait how does that work?

well the ticket itself was 220 euro with camping (roughly £180) and then the coach there and back was £10 return. Good ole' Megabus!

I've never been to a festival in my country

Me too. Plenty of festivals in the country where I've lived for the past 5 years though

Better get ready for this one to hit Lock Up or Main next year then

[dentalplan]

All the best to them.

[The Placid Casual]

Fair play, hope it does well

[Gucci Piggy]

I like how Ian Watkins is literally referred to as "paedophile Ian Watkins" in that.

Would be going to Download, V (do they do volunteering?), IOW and T before R&L tbh...

Infact while on the subject of Volunteering, how many can you do in a year with Oxfam?

As many as you can fit in as long as they clearly don't clash dates wise.

I don't think you can volunteer with V Festival and Download with Oxfam from what I saw as I'm planing to volunteer at a few festivals next year

neither are One Direction but they're playing R1's Big Weekend. Could be the start of those sorts of bands playing festivals perhaps?

[Gucci Piggy]

Big Weekend isn't a festival, it's irrelevant.

[Babyquack]

Is it not? Looks like one on the tv but having never been, I don't really know. Did think it was odd they were booked. I don't see that sort of band becoming festival bands any time soon but its worth festivals thinking about for the future. Can genuinely see 5sos playing something like V at some point.

Big Weekend's essentially just a promotional event, if you play you get played lots on radio 1.

Jack White never got played loads on Radio 1 though did he? And he played in 2012.

Boybands and girlbands have played V Festival and T in the Park for years now.

Have they? Like who? (Not that I disbelieve you, I just never realised)

[Gucci Piggy]

5ive, Little Mix etc.

I couldn't tell you, but as he was headlining a tent I assume they at least hyped him up like they do with other acts playing.

[Babyquack]

5ive, Little Mix etc.

Never heard of them but I didn't know Little Mix had played. Now I don't understand how V haven't snapped up 1D to headline. Would shift tickets so fast.

I guess there must have been hype given to him but it's always struck me as an odd booking you know?

You've not heard of 5ive? You'd probably like them.

1D would be a disaster as they don't really want all their tickets to go to under 15's, if they could go as they'd have to go with parents.

Jack White is from one of the biggest bands of the 00's so I don't see it as odd really. He's had plenty of R1 play over the years.

[Bisque]

Can anyone tell me the difference in size of:

TitP & V

vs R&L's arenas?

Just wondered why an open air second stage has never been used to warrant booking bigger or more established acts, replacing or coexisting with the NME tent?
