Hugh Jass Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Not going but I'd be torn between Wolf Alice and The Kills for who I'd want to see in support. Big fan of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Their new song just came on the radio, I swear I’m not exaggerating - I actually went over to the radio and checked there was nothing wrong with it. They seem to think making a song as fuzzy and distorted sounding as possible will distract people from how bad it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Anyone else here going? Not really looking forward to it (going tomorrow) but Mrs b is a fan and ecstatic when I reluctantly got hold of tickets. Can't help but feel it'll be a big anti-climax after the majesty of the Stones last week, but hope to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'll be there tomorrow. Also saw Stones last Friday so it's been a pretty great week. They were incredible at Reading in 2012 when I last saw them so really hoping tomorrow is gonna be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettredmayne Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Most lax security I've ever seen at a gig last night , no one scanned both of our tickets. Looked at my mates and give us the wristbands, could have easily just emailed the tickets to someone else to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I thought it was awesome Friday night. Loved the setlist but thought they dragged out a few songs for too long. Never thought I'd see Dave Grohl singing to Grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave seemed quite quiet compared to other times i've seen him but good none the less. The stadium was awesome but there were some very grumpy middle aged men, there was some 40 year old men near me going round knocking pints out of people's hands on purpose. Especially when pints were £6.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it was very entertaining, enjoyed them a lot more than at GF last year. Not my favourite band at all, but they do the stadium rock thing very well and DG holds the crowd like few others. Could have done without the Imagine/Jump mash-up (waste of a space on the setlist), and, as @Matt42 says above, £6.20 a pint - wtf! As stadiums go, this was ok for concerts but not the easiest to get to. Was anticipating a right scrum trying to get into the Underground station at the end, but walked straight in and onto the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there a few times for gigs and athletics (went to the Olympics a few days) and always found it to be very well managed in terms of transport and stewarding afterwards. The fact that I live not too far helps too. It is still too bloody expensive for a drink though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good thing though because I'd been predrinking pretty heavily. Moments before they came on I literally thought I was gonna topple over - if it wasn't for that medley I wouldn't of had a chance to pee during the whole thing It was a beautiful day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was there on Friday I was thinking how amazing it must have been for the crowd at the Olympics as the stadium’s obviously built for athletics rather than football. I remember the night when Mo Farah won the 10,000 gold - I missed it because I was watching the useless GB football team whimper out of the competition against the mighty South Korea at the Millennium Stadium. So wish I’d been in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I thought it was a great gig although I spent far, far too much money on beer. I'm outside of London so getting home was a little tricky too. It was probably my favourite crowd I've been in since Glastonbury since I got chatting to four or five strangers in the gap after Wolf Alice and were all lovely.
