Caribou would be a great park headliner, the new album isn't as good as Swim, but they're still great live.

The set I saw at WHP was a bit of a slow build but by the end it was going off! Can't do without you, is monstrous live.

It was WHP where I saw them. Start of the set was slightly ruined by large groups of young girls barging around, clearly not interested in the music. Once they got bored and cleared off I had a great night :)

Yeah it was the same for me too. It was still loads better than Victoria warehouse though, what a horrible venue that is.

I wasn't overly impressed with four tet afterwards; that was a really dense and awkward set I thought.

Agree, the set felt a little flat after Caribou. Definitely not vintage Four Tet.

I never made it to Victoria Warehouse, I wonder what the new venue will hold. From I understand is going to be a massive uplift in capacity so not holding my breath...

Can't do without you, in my opinion, is the best single to be released in 2014. Incredible.

Why do you think GY!BE are so unlikely, Tuna? I agree, that would be ridiculously exciting...

Having seen them at their own gigs, they seem like the sort of band that need a long set and quite a backdrop as well. It pains me to say that I think they would not have much of a crowd at Glastonbury, too. If Mogwai had a pretty small crowd for a Park headliner, GY!BE would be smaller, I would think.

Yeah patti smith would be incredible, it's a bit of a travesty imo that she wouldn't be considered pyramid or at least other headliner size but even better seeing her in a more intimate setting. If she did headline the park would she be likely to do horses in full or is a more career spanning set more likely? personally I consider Easter on a par with Horses so would probably prefer the latter. However, Horses in full would be pretty breathtaking (excuse the sensationalist language, I'm pretty excited at this prospect, might even get field day tickets even though its around a-level/revision time for me :/)

hehehe, I reckon we agree on quite a lot, probably.

She was incredible at EOTR the other year and even rescued an afternoon at Hop Farm. I don't use the word often, but live, she is inspirational, in that she makes me want to go and create something after seeing her commitment to her art.

Not sure if I've missed something, but why is Patti Smith being discussed for The Park? I realise she's not everyone's cup of tea, but surely she'd be at least an Other stage headliner? The only way she could play The Park without serious H&S problems is if it was a truly secret set.

I would disagree. If you look at recent tours and the venues she plays not on a level of Other Headliner. People are talking of Caribou headlining Park, he is headlining Field Day, Patti is not. Very influential - yes, but not necessarily the big crowd puller

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
