BST in Hyde Park 2014

[justanothername]

Would have got tickets to see him at Ally Pally but 1 I have no money and 2 it is a hassle getting down to London for me. I was willing to do it for BST as I had the incentive of more acts to see. Just going to have to leave this one out I'm afraid

[Muppetmark]

you could probably get a face value ticket of twickets or here nearer the time

[atomised]

I would imagine you'd be fine doing that , twickets was flooded with them over the weekend

[Zoo Music Girl]

Is this still the case? Surprised to see that tickets are still available. Very tempted.

Also it's pretty easy to get close to the main stage. If you get there about 20 minutes before the national you should be within the first half of the front section or at least that worked for us on the black sabbath day for soundgarden. For the other stages make sure you're there a decent amount of time before acts are on as the stages are small so people queue up before hand

Thanks to the above posters for National Neil Young Day on Saturday.

I'm so pleased that ZMG will go on a musically progressive journey from the national to King Neil.

Seriously hoping the libertine w*nkers stay away.

Tbf, I've never met a Neil fan who's a w*nker, whereas the libertines on the other hand...

Where did you get these times? It still says, for example, The National are on at 6:15 on my app. It's a shame really, I was holding out for a slightly longer set from them...

I've got two Neil Young tickets for tomorrow that I'm giving away fi anyone's interested? I can't go due to my sister being unwell and my folks being away so having to go back home to look after her.

They were just the £2.50 tickets so I'm not asking anything for them - I have the PDF files to hand so will email them straight away if you're interested, just send me a PM

[Tuna]

So stoked. Have a blast tomorrow everyone.

[The 38 year old virgin]

I'm so excited I'm going to wee.

Neil AND the horse.

Jesus.

[The 38 year old virgin]

I saw The Libertines......and I'm going to Neil Young tomorrow....

[The 38 year old virgin]

By that, I suppose you mean Neil Young is superior to The National? I am ready to be impressed.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I just hope that you're impressed by old hippies doing extended jams with other old hippies.

Cos if you're not, I reckon an early exit for you

So I thought the national were good and neil young & crazy horse were bloody great, had a great spot in the crowd near the left of stage speaker stack, which seemed like one of the only places people were dancing and hugs and smiles amongst us strangers after. Particularly loved electric after the goldrush in the set.

No problem with bar or toilet queues at all. I guess they could improve the sound a bit though.

Wow

Just posted this in The National thread but for completeness:

The National did a shorter set than I'd have liked but they still absolutely killed it. Weird seeing them in the blazing sunshine and I sweated buckets jumping around in it, but it was just awesome to see them again. Got right down the front with ease too

Neil Young was bloody brilliant too, despite me not really knowing any of the songs, so definitely worth the ticket price. Although I'm pretty sure he finished earlier than scheduled?

As others have said, it was impossible to get into the small venues so didn't really see anyone else, which was a shame. Expensive, too, but booze, food and toilet queues were better than expected.

Absolutely lovely crowd and atmosphere too, which must have been the Neil Young factor. Hippies, older people and just lovely really.
