pls pls pls leak it 

Broadwick management are looking at buying the company back. 

The statement and replies from Global / Superstruct were very wishy washy and cagey. 

The festivals that got acquired didn't want the news getting out pre this years event and got taken by surprise when the press release got sent out to a few publications. Just look at Tramlines statement they put out.

In all seriousness though, how could they possibly think that it wouldn't get out? Aside from anything else, it's a matter of public record.

I got that quote for that publication and had a full on conversation with the Tramlines team regarding it. The story is from me. 

Who you think broke the story, had the balls to publish it first. I was the one that got all the statements and quotes. And know mostly what's going on.

It wasn't public record for the likes of Truck and Tramlines Festival, their Companies House filings shows no indication they've been acquired. So before Global released the statement it wasn't clear.

Hello Y-not-ers.

Having failed to get Glastonbury tickets for teh first time since 2011 my brother has booked YNot and invited me to join him. The headliners are a bit meh for me, though FF and Wolf Alice ring my bell. My choice would have been Bearded Theory but that is out for him.

Trying to get a feel for the festival, what is the target audience? More like Leeds than G? What are the smaller stages like? As an old git will I feel like a pork pie at a Bar Mitzvah? Is it as "Indie" as the headliners suggest?

If I've learned one thing from this year's festival posters so far, it's that Idles need a far more persuasive booking agent.

they’re headlining the 2nd stage at Kendal Calling on the same day

similar thing the day before with Truck / Standon 

4 fests in 2 days for Idles

To be honest, it would have had to be someone special to keep me away from the bar ?

OK, I'm in, ticket bought.

Question for those who have been previously. Arriving Friday, what is traffic like mid morning? I need to be on site and in "The Quarry" for the first band "The Headspace" as two of my nephews are therein. They have been told they are "on" at midday. So I guess I need to be parked up no later than 11 so I can pitch my tent and get into the arena for midday.

Anyone help?

I’d probably say get to the site by about 10 if you’re wanting to watch a band at 12

according to company house docs, it's 'JO Worldwide', which traces back to someone called Jason John Oakley (which is a new name to me, and googling doesn't reveal anything).

(thanks to JBarbour, as he did the research)

Any idea what the future may hold for the festival then?

    • 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
