Tears For Fears have had to pull out of the Coventry show due to health concerns, but gutted as I was looking forward to seeing them. Very glad it wasn't LG or Stereophonics pulling out though! Any guesses who'll replace Tears For Fears?

Are they definitely being replaced? 

It's not been said, but I'd assume so. On the poster they've just put a white box over Tears For Fears so they could put someone in that slot.

Maybe 30 - 40 minutes?

Has anyone got tickets though the post yet?  As ticketmaster are administering, will they be sending out the week before?  Bit annoying as I got tickets as a gift.

I have a ticket for Coventry and nothing yet. I'd assume in the 2-3 weeks before is when they'll be sent out.

[NickisGinger]

Majority of tickets have been sent out according to their help page. I keep forgetting mine are paperless, rather would perfer a physical one

What do you mean yours are paperless, I thought they all were to help prevent resales?

Well I thought I read Pot 1&2 locals were physicals and the rest of UK were paperless;

But ive just read the Terms & Conditions and;

”The Booking process for all of BBC Music’s Biggest Weekend events will be handled by Ticketmaster. Tickets will be posted out. Should they fail to arrive by a set date you will be able to contact Ticketmaster and order replacements for collection on the day,”

So maybe they’ve changed it

Ive also looked on Ticketmaster and now its been changed back to Tickets will be sent out nearer the time..

who knows.

News of the BBC introducing stage in Swansea has made a huge difference to me. Never heard of any of the acts listed on the Sunday (except the excellent Trampolene) but checking out a few on Spotify they sound of a lot more interest than the majority of the radio 1 bland chart rubbish on offer!

I've done a playlist to try and help me find more pleasure there anyway : https://open.spotify.com/user/zicomartin/playlist/7eo9cdLAk3QtKTMyV4dE4i?si=ABCyQupYQPeBKxrDwYIN_A

Was really hoping for an introducing stage at Coventry but doesn't loom like we're getting one :/

[zico martin]

I'm eagerly awaiting news of the set times etc now, any indications when we'll see them? Considering the line up really isn't to my taste I just know there's gonna be some awful clashes. Trampolene, boy azooga and yungblud have become my must sees!

[NickisGinger]

Don’t they just release the set times in the lanyards? Until then someone splashes them all over social media?

Well I guess that could be kinda exciting then. Someone must know I'm advance to spill the beans though?

Ermmm. Maybe someone working on the site beforehand?

Anyone else think also people have bought tickets for another park expecting to see Ed Sheeran etc etc.

Yeah like buying tickets for Perth expecting to see the Radio 1 one.

Probably some fool!

 

also only a tiny tidbit, but as per ticketing email, Rita Ora opens the main stage on Sunday at 12.00 - so the order they're in may mean nothing at all.
