A single show in London seems to be the word on the street. Bit of a pain in the arse for me, but hopefully get a whole day of mid 00’s emo lined up to sweeten the deal.

I thought someone said it was gonna be Milton Keynes? They’re both shit for me I suppose and I’m sure I’d wait for the arena tour.

The Rasmus are getting their tour bus out as we speak. You can hear it reversing at the start of that song they had that was massive.

Who else hopped straight onto YouTube and played In the Shadows after reading this? Hands up!

I'm in the midst of Stranger In The Alps rn (doin my top 100 AotD so listening back to some stone colds from the 10s) and NOTHING will interrupt me from it, but that's right where I'm heading after it's over. After that I reckon I might treat myself to some Evanessence

I have never seen a band be as unanimously pelted with bottles than The Rasmus were at Leeds '04. They stayed onstage though to their credit; they didn't manage that at Reading.

I wasn't about for Daphine and Celeste...

I was at Reading for that. Same year as 50 Cent got bottled off  later that evening too right? 

Never heard boos like it when the G-Unit banner rolled down the back of the stage.

Yep, same year. At Leeds 50 Cent actually started throwing water back at the crowd!

I'm pretty sure at Reading they did the same...and one of the Unit threw a fold up chair or something back that had been checked at 'em. 

I actually felt quite bad for them 😕 Although that wasn't really the vibe.

50 Cent was absolutely massive in 2004, don't know why he'd put up with a load of pimple faced unwashed racist edgelords abusing him for a small time sub slot at Reading.

It was all just...weird wasn't it? At the time I didn't know why they'd booked him/agreed to do it, as I assumed they must have known the response. But actually, why the fuck would anyone think that it would elicit that kind of reaction on that scale? And the absolute glee some kids were getting out of it too. Bonkers. 

There were a lot of things I didn't like about Reading (it was the only time I ever went), but the bottling thing was way too much. I actually didn't go to another non-dance music festival after that for ten years (until Glasto 2014). You can say what you want about pill heads, but they don't bottle anyone.

£45 is too much for a band that I'm already seeing this year at slam dunk and have seen like 5 times before. Sure it will be a great show

 

RE MCR thought we all agreed they were playing Milton Keynes on the 20th June, wish they would bloody announce! I'm going for £75 ticket price

And the rest. I'm thinking £70-90 for GA, then into triple figures for the golden standing they'll inevitably have.

Really hope they don't do golden standing as they are the only band in the world I where would actually pay for it

Black Country, New Road have announced a set in Manchester YES Basement directly after their pink room show, saw them there a few months ago and it's worth a punt, one of the better gigs I went to last year.

Also I think a band doing 2 shows in 2 different parts of a venue in 1 night is rad.

Love the game of 'try and read the metal bands logo'. Even as a metalhead I struggle with these

I'm going with Arcturus, Deewegemer Tremer, Sonae Wemer, Tehement, Fawyne, Anoxioe

If they are right they are not good band names, especially Deewegemer Tremer

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
