I had a T&C crew band last year as I was playing a few sets around the festival over the weekend, including at the Green Room Bar which is the T&C crew bar. Early in the festival I asked in Maceo's if I could get some Block9 wristbands for me and some mates so we could get into Maceo's thoughout the festival. They told me the my T&C wristband would get me in whenever, unless they were busy in there in which case they may only accept people with Block9 wristbands. They gave me a batch of their wristbands anyway. I liked it in there, it was a nice to get into a, slightly, calmer place in the middle of all the chaos of Block9. 2 hours ago, MarcoPolo said: Let's hope so. Saw Roi Perez self confirmed for Block 9 yesterday - playing Saturday and then Maceo's sunday. Anyone been to Maceo's and know what the deal is? Can literally any worker (i.e. food truck, stage, greenpeace etc) get into there or only certain folk? Was working hospitality in 2019, but didn't get a crew wristband, just a hospitality one. It got us into Maceos on the Thursday, although they told us we wouldn't be allowed in with it for the rest of the festival, so they gave us Block 9 wristbands. It seemed pretty lax, however, my brother-in-law was with us on a regular wristband and we could not blag him in. The irony is, he's genuinely worked most festivals since the mid-noughties and was with 2 of his 3 brothers who were on crew wristbands and walked straight in. So in my experience, if you have any kind of non-regular punter wristband you can probably get in provided you go Wednesday - Thursday and grab a Block 9 wristband, but if you're just a punter you've no hope.

We managed to sneak a couple of people in who didn't have Block9 wristbands late on the Saturday night, they kind of hid behind us and we walked in while the security sidetracked dealing with someone else, but generally they were checking everyone as they went in. I was amazed it worked to be honest. Edited May 12, 2022 by Johnnyseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed his surprise Printworks set in the Redacted Series whenever clubs reopened. But like it was just his standard set, and I think has probs put me at the threshold of how arsed I am to see it again. Think I’d really not enjoy seeing him again.

If you've seen one FBS show, you've pretty much seen em all. Preset, heavily edited and unashamedly bags of fun. I find it hard to criticise someone so passionate about the genre, but I would like to see him revert back to his big beat roots from time-to-time, rather than the generic EDM he's spun for the past decade. There's absolutely nothing avant garde about Norm's personality or creative output, he's extremely likeable but I can totally understand why his brand of big-room EDM isn't for all lovers of electronica. But what you see is what you get, and you have to respect the guy's longevity, his musical output spanning thirty years and an obvious love for all things Worthy Farm. Btw, that Snowbombing crowd is great. Kids from all across Europe gathering for the first proper festival of the year. Think Bestival on ice, rather than the Henley Regatta.

If you want to party with like-minded souls in a fun atmosphere and you're not assed if you've heard Star 69 ten times previously, then head over to whichever of the various sets Norm's playing.

Then when they are warmed up I can then usually lead them (like a pied piper) onward to other more substantial acts 🙂 (if not I usually go and lose myself alone in SE corner) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
