I'm shitting myself a little bit now. I got in early through the Bon Iver presale and they were £36 each? But now it says this. I've bought the tickets at that £36. Anyone else in the same boat?

GA in that presale comes up as £80.15 for me.

Kids/Guardian ticket maybe?

They are also £80 for me there.

I've worked out the issue. The link from the Bon Iver website took me through to "accessible tickets". Basically disabled platform tickets. Which are £36 and I've gone and got them without realising... In my defence I saw general admission and was like this is it

He does festivals quite a lot so I imagine it’s not a massive problem. 

Yeah it’s not like he’s subbing T in the Park before Calvin Harris comes on, the crowd will be totally fine.

I would have smelled a rat with the price. You'd pay that for Bon Iver on his own let alone a full day of festival.

Shouldn't be a problem for them to reverse, anyway!

Ah it took me to VIP on my phone through the presale. Wonder if this one will sell out, 7 nights sold out at the Apollo was impressive earlier this year.

I don’t doubt that but seven nights at an Academy is a totally different ballgame to selling out a 60,000 capacity festival, on a Sunday night, with a fairly weak undercard, at £80 a pop. Doubt Nick Cave would’ve sold it out without Patti Smith and St Vincent there to help things along, and there most likely aren’t gonna be tens of thousands of people who would travel from far and wide to catch the supporting acts on this poster. But you never know ?‍♂️

A bar with smaller queues and a toilet with loo paper.

I didn't queue for more than a couple of minutes at a bar last year and went for a poo before I left the house.

50 quid saved.

The National sold out four nights at the Apollo and didn't sell their night out. That said, FAK sell out academies and are only third on the bill so it might do pretty well.

Same tbf, the bars were great. Dunno if they were at other fests last year cos I didn't go to any but those contactless things made life so much easier.

Yeah fingers crossed with Sufjan being added. Perhaps if he becomes more active the chances of that happening will increase.

Fingers crossed Smurf-Ian gets his own day, or goes on tour tbh.

Personally I'm more willing to travel for an intimate venue than a day festival so that might be in play. Conversely super fans will attend multiple nights. 

All in all I haven't helped at all there

I walked straight into the VIP area without realising what is was. Then kept going back once I did. 

Food was nice but even more overpriced than the main festival

[finn_with_1_n]

according to the mailout from APE, The Tallest Man on Earth will be on the East Stage (main one), and he is "regularly compared to Bob Dylan" apparently. I assume by his own management team

Also worth noting that Bon Iver's day starts an hour earlier and has a curfew 30 minutes earlier than Chemical Brothers the week before

that's quite possibly a Sunday night condition, which will probably apply with the first Sunday too.

Don't hate me but I cannot imagine a lot of Bon Iver songs going down well at a Festival. A lot of drunk people talking throughout fantastic instrumentals and quiet singing. (that being I only know a few old Bon Iver songs, which were always quite quiet)

A few years ago I thought this when he was announced to headline Latitude., even though a fan I thought it was wrong. I was proved very wrong, he gave a magical performance and was very much a headliner.

[scatteredscreens]

Anyone who is skeptical should look on YouTube at some of the sets of recent. Pioneer works and Pitchfork Festival Paris are good recommendations. Bon Iver are actually a pretty incredible live act I think. Some of the newer material sounds huge live - deathbreast, 666, 8 circle, God. All sound incredible. And there are quite a few festival appropriate tracks in their back catalogue, i.e. Blood Bank, Perth, Towers and the like. It's not just re:stacks and wolves

If he publicly promises to play Creature Fear, I'll buy a ticket.

One of my favourites also.. it's pretty much a regular in live-shows from what I've seen.

[lessthanwill1]

This is a really fantastic line up imo.

Never seen Bon Iver before (had tickets to his last tour but then he cancelled before re-arranging but chose not to re-book to save money).

Huge fan of Snail Mail, Mitski, Julien Baker, First Aid Kit and the Tallest Man on Earth. Missed John Grant at Green Man as he clashed with Teenage Fanclub but heard great things. 

Although - can't see Mitski on their website now. Have I missed something?

Sorry so what's the curfew then? 10pm? 10:30pm?

Snail Mail has posted a different poster, which included Mitski. She was never officially announced.

It was 22:30 on the Bjork day this year so I'd imagine it'll be the same for Bon Bon. 

[the wonderwhy]

They all finished well before the curfew though, so would imagine it will be wrapped up by 10-10:15
