tjchittt86 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 You should all stop worrying about the mystery tent and look toward the Punk in Drublic stage while the secret nonsense is going on. Get yourself a nice beer and have a little bop to the Mad Caddies as they bring a bit of California to Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Missing the last 15 mins of Tiny Moving Parts and the first 5 mins of Turnstile for any band is a bad idea imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just a heads up for first time goers, Hatfield isn't a London travel zone so you can't use contactless/oyster if you're coming from London. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking Benjamin don't fit the clue and apparently their facebook page is wrong as a fansite or something tagged them in the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very likely. They'll probably do another obvious clue before anyway just to stop people who haven't paid as much attention turning up and expecting BMTH or Parkway Drive or whoever.

Traher666 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 For anyone that went to South last year, what are the queues like for the bars? When it was at the Forum there were so many bars that I don't think I queued once. Also, what were the tent sizes like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6l6e6x Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Went a couple years ago and the queues were generally fine. Might go this year but £70 seems a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 1 lot of people in front and it was pretty quick so hopefully some of the same this year however toilet queues were long for cubicles so hopefully they've made an improvement and added more. Tents were impericon (heaviest smaller stage) and fireball (pid this year) last year and were of similar size to FR and lock/pit stages at R&L if you've been? But thinking with Bullet playing a tent and 2 stages in both tents I think the tents will be different sizes/layouts this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 In secret set news James Bourne is on a flight today, he lives in america and the next busted show isn't until the 8th June. Could be a coincidence but seems likely it's them given all the other clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she bangs the drums Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Gallows played first gig in 4 years last night at the House of Vans.

It's going to be decent, I'm fine with South after hearing good reviews although it did come across me a while back that Leeds is new original city for it.

she bangs the drums Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) First I've been to Slam Dunk. Really enjoyed the music but the infrastructure wasn't great. Arrived at Leeds train station at 11.30am and took about 30 mins to get on a shuttle bus and then another 45 mins to get to Temple Newsam because the traffic lights on major road could not cope with amount of traffic (no police or festival organisers helping). No phone signal as would appear organisers hadn't bothered with potential signal issues so couldnt meet with anyone, luckily bumped into my friends about 4pm after being at the festival since 1pm. The queues were about 10-15 mins for alcohol and the food was much worse. Queues for women's toilets got longer and longer as the day went on. Ended up going home about 8pm as needed something to eat and my wife needed a wee! Am I being harsh on the organisation (given I am used to Glastonbury and Leeds standards) and was it just me who experienced this?

Am I being harsh on the organisation (given I am used to Glastonbury and Leeds standards) and was it just me who experienced this? Agreed. This was my 9th Slam Dunk so i've seen it through 3 venues now and I did love the setting of this new one, the stages worked really well and it wasnt too huge. The fact its on a hill for the main stage is great as makes it easier to see. Toilets wernt bad but theres been issues in years past with those. There needs to be a better bar system as the wait was about 20 mins at most although we found the one where all the rides were was empty all afternoon once most people were in. There was loads of food choice and the queues did go down pretty quick on them I found. Traffic wasnt great but ill let them off for that as its the first year. Phone signal was my major issue, lost my friends twice after going toilet and proved nigh on impossible to contact anyone at all. Luckily a few texts went through eventually. They need a mast thing like at actual Leeds fest next year. All in all I think the new venue was a sucess and I think it will stay there a while now as theres plenty more room to grow. I can even see it going like 'Give It A Name' in the future and being a 2 day event where they swap the bands in each venue either day.

I would imagine they can sort out the traffic and phone signal and maybe put in a few more toilets, and a better queueing system for the bars. Even though there was queues, the atmosphere remained great and everyone was friendly and civilised! I also really liked the tent with one band starting pretty much as the other finished. I certainly would not let it put me off attending again. Edited May 26, 2019 by she bangs the drums Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Fantastic day. I’ve got nothing but positives to say about it. Turnstile are the best band in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
