Anyone know when we're likely to get stage times and splits for this?

 

Citadel, which is on the next day, have released theirs so hopefully soon! 

LCD at Glasto was, I'm afraid, amazing. However, hopefully we will get Home at Lovebox!

Well in one way I'm gutted not to be there, but of course I'm pleased to hear they were on good form. And also, grudgingly, that you guys had a good time.

Is Citadel anything to do with Lovebox? Seems really odd to me that they share the space for the weekend.

I'm not sure if it's the same promoter but I guess it makes sense to use the infrastructure as much as possible - hence put another fest on on the Sunday. So I'm expecting the layout to be very similar the next day (am guessing some poor sod gets up at about 6am and rips all the branding down!).

 

Actually, now i think about it, both fests have a Fabric stage so it may well be the same promoter.

 

There are £22 tickets going if you're interested.

For Citadel? I'm semi-interested, as I'd like to see Sigur Ros. But from the point of view of being tired/hungover and the amount of money I'll likely spend on the Saturday probably not wise...

I'm in the same boat... but then I thought f@ck it at that price. At the very worst I'll just drag myself up the Overground line for Caribou and Sigur Ros (bargain at the £27 I paid).

George Clinton and LCD Soundsystem timings are the same as clash finder, yep: 3:10-4:10p and 9:00-10:50pm. Presume who ever put clash finder together was basing the timings on last year and they've been kept the same. From a quick scan the rest looks the same too. 

Was going to suggest Kiasmos (recommended to me the other day) but now they're clashing with Clinton :(

Well I want to see around three or four... but yeah I'm pretty clash-free. It's a handy little app though, got a map and info about the bands and that.

Anyone know what the security is like there in terms of bag searching? From what I can tell pretty stringent!

 

I've only been to Field Day to Vic Park before, but I elaborately hid a bottle of booze disguised as water on my person while my girlfriend walked in with a bottle of water in her hand. They let us both in without even checking her bottle, though we were all lined up and sniffer dogged.

 

Not sure if this is good or bad news for you!

Good work on the £25 ticket! Ours worked out about £50 each in the end, but that was for the whole weekend, so yeah I guess about £25... we're just going to wander over after work tomorrow for a couple of hours and check out the lay of the land. Might see Goldie. But yeah, I'd pay at least £40 for LCD and really looking forward to seeing George Clinton again.

Jungle kinda bored me when I watched their 6music performance on TV. Was that representative?

Looking forward to LCD on Saturday, finally getting my chance to see them! Jungle are pretty decent live and interested in seeing Miike Snow too.

 

This is my 7th year going to Lovebox (live just down the road), always good fun.

I've always found it to be pretty good for a London festival, I prefer it to gigs in hyde park etc, it feels like more of a party vibe. LCD are quite a different headliner compared to what Lovebox have booked in recent years, so I'm intrigued what the crowd for them will be like. I'm going with about 10 friends this time.. we'll be getting stuck in that's for sure!

    • 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. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
