If we all clubbed in a few thousand we could probably become a pretty big pop punk band, it's pretty easy nowadays. Look at all the new British exports neck deep, ROAM, WSTR, Trash Boat, As It Is.

3 of 5  recorded with Seb Barlow, all five used Inception PR. And you can hire Seb to write you songs so yeah, if anyone wants to become a successful pop punk band, all you need is to be able to play a guitar and have some cash laying about.

So this is why has no one gone for the best one of the lot aka Gnarwolves

Yeah the basement can be quite heavy, but I just spent my night in the main room. I only went for the first time back in December. As I walked in they were playing Wasting Time by Four Year Strong and I looked at my mate and said, "We've been missing out" :lol: 

Yup. I discovered it 3/4 years ago on a stag do away. Only downside is they won't often include wnough chart friendly rock....but then that's not what it is I guess. Can be quite pricey mind. Often make use of The Pit & Pendulum up there as well.

You find Rock City pricey? I find it really good value. £2.50 a beer is great compared to most clubs. Great shout on the Pit and Pendulum, btw! This is now just making me want to go to Nottingham for the weekend :P

I don't drink beer though, cider or spirit man so it can be more so.

  • 2 weeks later...

So are they doing a stage a day then or do we reckon we could potentially get the full stage splits in Kerrang tomorrow? Also they added a few acts with each of the announced stage splits so more soon I guess

Also when does the North date tend to sell out. My best mate has said he is going now (still needs to get his ticket mind) and so I'm pretty much on aboard for going but I'm just waiting on my exam timetable which will be out in 2 weeks time. Would hate to find out I can go then to see it's sold out.

A post on their Facebook said that the expect North and South to sell out by the end of April and Midlands should be ok until v close to the event, as it's got the larger capacity.

Think the acoustic stage could be better if they get some of the other bands at the festival playing to a 2nd acoustic set.

Anyway I think that is the last on the names now. The full poster doesn't have the "more names to be announced" bit at the bottom now. But I guess next week we can start to vaguely plan out my day

I agree, would have been good to see a few bands doing acoustic sets too.

    • 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.
