Blur?

We're they selling pints of anything?

Why - what did you buy? Cans? Ugh. Last year they were doing pints at least.

 

I'm not bothered about getting to the front. Think the sound will be better nearer the back.

They did pints of Heineken last year which were the same price as bottles

Bar towards the back next to the Barclaycard Stage was selling pints of Heineken and Fosters. Plus there was a real ale bar next to it for beardy ale types to enjoy.

[Zoo Music Girl]

What about cider? Sure I got pints last year...

[random_man]

Quite a few bars were selling pints.  The J2o bar sold J2o with rum too and that had no queue

[Hugh Jass]

Was stood near the back of PSB waiting for my mates to show up and there was a bloke stood next to me who looked just like Taylor Hawkins from the Foos. Wondered if I should have said something but while I was debating this he wandered off. Just read that he was there last night... Should have said something.

[the wonderwhy]

Sounds like there were more celebs than commoners there last night  

[Jonny Hobbs]

I presume shelter is limited? The weather looks pretty fruity..

[evilduck]

Yeah theres basically no shelter except inside the loo's. Rainmac and wellies it is!

[nikkic]

It is going to piss it down all day tomorrow, then, to balance it out, we'll have glorious sunshine all week next week.....

To be fair, I'll take one for the team if that's the case...

 

I'm only going for the evening, but I'm now having doubts about footwear. Is it really worth wellies for Hyde Park? Shall I man it in Converse?

[the wonderwhy]

It's only the second gig and they'll have bark chippings down so I reckon it'll be fine without wellies. 

 

I might just go with docs 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Boots in June just feels wrong though. Hmmm.

[Muppetmark]

Just got my 2.50 tickets sorted for tomorrow. Really exited

[The Placid Casual]

Just got my 2.50 tickets sorted for tomorrow. Really exited

How does one get away with half a ticket?

The ground should be in a decent state at the moment and there'll be plenty of wood chipping down. I think old cons will be OK, so that's what I'm going with.

You've convinced me!

[Hugh Jass]

I'll just wear trainers, ground was bone dry yesterday so it'll take something spectacular to turn it muddy in a few hours. Worst comes to it just stand on the concrete path.

[Porcelina]

Excited! First time seeing them, not sure how Drenge will fair on that stage, mind.

[LondonTom]

Also, no one scanned our tix so presumably I could have emailed them to a mate (?!).

O_o yeah if they didn't scan them, but they should have! (That said, it did seem like it would be fairly easy to get them in a big group! :S

Yeah fiver a pint, Fosters, Heineken (50p extra!) and Strongbow! Thought both bars were doing that as the offering?

O_o I didn't spot the real ale bar!!!

 

 

Sound is still poor there, so yeah best place I think was setting up behind a relay, unless you get in the pit before they close it off. (Even then towards the back the sound a bit shit). On the plus side of being behind the relay, you can still relatively see the stage but better sound and able to go to the bar/toilet as you wish.

Yeah Drenge won't go down great, not the right environment for them really. Still the one I'm most looking forward to of the supports. And they'll certainly get a better reception than Jupiter & Okwess International slotted in between The Horrors and Metronomy. Not exactly the best placement for them.

[home to you]

Off to the lo-o-o-o-ocal for a full English. Coffee, OJ or pint?

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's an odd placing, but if the crowd are open minded enough....Jupiter & Okwess International are the business live.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Forecast looking markedly better. But grey but not so much rain.

Bring it on
