T in The Park 2015

[Paul ™]

T Build starts mid June so the first one shouldn't be an issue

Hopefully none of them will be and it goes ahead as planned.

[Paddy4]

There is an issue, a bloody big issue. The main arena is reduced in size by about a third and the 500M buffer on the slam tent and funfair means they physically can't be there.

[hamishrankin]

wow this is just one big mess

[seumasbeathan]

They will work around it. Everything will be fine.

Sorry to kind of take the subject off T but i have a question which i am pretty sure you guys are the best people to ask. Basically recently i've not been doing well with securing tickets for gigs in high demand (biffy barras and Muse barras) and i'm wondering if people have some idea for the Drones tour? So Drones is out on June 8th and they've announced that they're playing at Download and the big weekend this summer. Most likely the Drones tour will be over winter 2015/spring 2016, this kind of makes it a non stadium tour due to the time of year, meaning they will probably play the hydro which will be yet another ticket race which i'm fed up with now as i never seem to be the lucky one that gets tickets. Glasgow's summer sessions has announced 2 headliners now last year they only two but the year before they had 3, any chance Muse could play that?

mate just do what I do set up at least two ways to get tickets (phone, laptop) and get a mate who you want to go with to do the same so you now have four pages up at once then juts spam refresh for 5 mins before incase tickets go up early.

I've never missed out on something I've done this for. Then if you get through get your mate a ticket or get your mate to get yours.

You could easily just get tent stages closer together, At a lot of fests i've been to the stages are almost right next to each with next to none noise pollution, they need to have a decent sound tech team to make it work.

They won't now just cancel the slam tent.

[Paul ™]

Theres lots of other fields that could potentially be used too, it's not all just on that one bit of the estate.

[Paddy4]

The other fields are for camping. Honestly mate, I've looked at the site map on the PKC website, there's no where to put it. Gutted, but if it aint going ahead tell us sooner rather than later so we can go somewhere else.

[DomDom1984]

Anyone who dismisses this as some sort of minor issue to be pushed aside has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

[Paul ™]

Paddy, you've looked at a draught site plan, one that can be changed and will be if necessary. There is probably plenty of space, this site has more acreage than Balado.

[Paul ™]

If you're referring to my post, am 100% confident it will be going ahead on Strathallan Estate.

In fact, I'll be working there from Mid June - Near end of July, so it better be on or I'll be a bit bored

The stages at Leeds are really close together compared to T, they should be able to fit it all in no problem even if it means shougling it about a bit. The loss of the slam tent is no biggie anyways

Confidence is one thing, but some people seem to think this is something to be just brushed aside. You can be confident and understand the seriousness of it.

I'd trust what Paul says, the man live, breathes and works festivals and has done for decades.

It would very noticeably damage sales though.

At Leeds it's all tents though, open air stages noise surly travels further than tents? I agree I was delighted at the short walking distance at leeds. With the NME stage still being open air it has to be quite a distance away, even with the distance at balado I remember there being sound interference, Chris Martin complained about it in 2011 and I remember Brandon Flowers saying something about it in 2013 ?

Yeah I think there was sound interference from Disclosure during Artic Monkeys set last year.

I still have absolutely no idea why the stages are nearly pointing directly at each other and aren't very far away.

I much prefered the old layout of NME/Main

Was like that when I stopped going, when did they change it to facing each other? They used to face each other like a decade ago I think.

2011 was the first year

[DomDom1984]

They faced each other in 2003 as well btw. So they must have changed that not long after.

That would be the year I remember them facing, the year The Music headlined the NME...remember that?

I was seeing REM at the time. Wish I'd gone and seen The Music in hindsight.

[KeithDelBasso]

The old Main/NME layout was dreadful with that ridiculous 30 minute walk of death from campsite to stage. Give me a bit of sound clash any day over that!
