CaledonianGonzo Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 God our group has doubled in size last year, with some newbies thrown in into the bargain. I'm not really a fan of appearing rude, but something's gonna have to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutchmaster Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I remember waiting half of Wolf Alice at TITP, including Moaning Lisa Smile which was the one song I was looking forward to hearing all weekend, all because my mates wouldn't hurry up. From that day on I vowed to think "feck 'em" when it comes to festivals and just venture off by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I just lay down some ground rules when we first arrive to festivals. Set up a few meeting points on the major stages, so if a few people are planning to see the act they will likely bump in to each other, meet up a few times throughout the day as long as everyone has a gap in their schedule, then meet up at a certain place after the headliners so we can all bimble around together sampling the nightlife. Aside from that, it's every man for themselves. Thankfully, my friends all have a similar mindset so it works out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Best bit of news for me! Incredible way to end the weekend, particularly if they close with the same 5 tracks as they did at Coachella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panicked for nothing in the end then! she tweeted 'sundaynight' so i assumed that meant headlining, or at the least subbing a stage, and headlining the Park seemed such a good fit for her. but yeah, can't complain at all! not arsed about ELO myself so will be in the JP at that time. just hope the crowd isn't too sparse due to everybody being at the Pyramid (although i doubt it'll be half as bad as previous Dolly and Lionel years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festival Liam Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Anybody else contemplating a sprint from Grimes to see LCD? Can catch half an hour of her and not miss the start of LDC. How big will the crowd be do we think? I don't want a shit spot. UGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 What are my options then. Are they only doing festival shows? Not missing EWF, been wanting them for 3 years. Worst clash ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaseen Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sunday is CLASHMAGEDDON for me. LCD/EWF/Basement Jaxx/Cyndi Lauper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odessa Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Absolutely made up they've got a 90 minute set instead of 75. Also good they've ended up on the Sunday and not Friday, cos the Sunday is really lacking in terms of acts for me so glad I have my favourite act of the weekend saved til the end.
