So a big chunk of Magical Sounds lineup is out. Most of it means nothing to me but hopefully those who like this stuff are happy....

 

If anyone cares to take a look, I've now added Magical Sounds, to this year's very approximate clashfinder. I know that Gnomicide in particular, will be keen to find out if Greg Zogg, Dissident Noize Factory, or DJ Ginge are clashing with anyone key.

:D

That Greg Zogg / Rews / FLC clash is a killer.

Does anyone have a realistic sense of when this might sell out?

Need to get organised but in middle of moving house so brains not fully focussed on next year.

I say this with great caution, as I don't want to say something to lead you astray, but generally it doesn't sell out until quite close to the festival date. For what its worth  I've yet to get round to buying a ticket and fully intend to go. I'd have thought you'd be all right at least until all the headliners are out.

think this year will be sooner than previous.... judging by noises coming out of HQ (I'm not 'in the know' or anything - forum / fb etc)

My educated guess would be around March.

I must admit I wouldn't leave it later than that. I suppose there might also be some custom from folk waking up to the fact there's no Glastonbury this year. Not a substitute, of course, but I could imagine someone that has been wavering for a few years might reason that with nothing on in June this is the year to give BT a punt.

The final line up announcement being so close surely means safe until then though

I'm yet to buy too. Ive never bought mine until after Christmas, which is currently bleeding by dry.
The next announcement is due 'before 22nd' so lets see what happens after then.

I'd be quite comfortable waiting till mid February, but I'll be keeping a eye out for ticket sale warnings from BT High Command.

yeah, the word after the early birds went on sale was that something ridiculous like half the tickets had been sold - totally unprecedented - so could really early this year. 

Festivals often say this stuff to hype the sales, but Bearded are always straight up with these things.

That's what got me there in 2012, I was looking for somewhere for my festival fix and the line-up, reputation, taking your own drink in etc. prompted me to head to BT. Only missed one since.

anyone know if we are due an announcement soon?

From the facebook posts of one of the organisers.. Hopefully yes. They're intending to send out a newsletter with most of the rest of the linup before Christmas, either on the 15th or the 22nd.

Excellent news. Where was this?

Found it. Not sure if they were supposed to let the cat out the bag or not but they've put up the Maui Waui line-up poster. Delighted to see Urban Voodoo Machine are playing.Screenshot_20171217-102128.thumb.png.0bff4949f01d6622d990fa407a7acd94.png

Donkey's years since I last saw them - a welcome addition, as you say, and I was pleased to see some new names in there. Having googled a few, there's a high quota of of fiddle/accordion balkan knees up stuff again, which doesn't really float my boat, but I guess that's the Maui Waui USP so fair play to them.

That said, searching on "Steam Chicken" and "Water for Dogs" leads only to chickens and dogs, so they might yet prove to be the doves amongst crows that I'm hoping for.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
