Prophets should let him perform with them for this...

Talking of Rage covers check out Brass Against, they are on the line up already and they cover Rage and Audioslave songs with a brass section and the frontwomen's voice is amazing. They are touring the UK at the moment and well worth going to.

 

Does anyone know where in London the coach picks you up that comes with the weekend tix option? The Boomtown site doesn't really say.

Didn’t make it to whilsters green last year, we were busy hiding from the rain! Nothing will stop my hungover woodcarving this year! 

I seem to remember hiding from the rain in Whistlers Green...or at least going up there to dry out by the fire after morcheeba :lol:

Little Dragon is an excellent addition for me, but much as I want to see them (missed them at Glastonbury 2017 I think due to wanting to be in a good spot for Radiohead) I'm not sure if I'll be able to tear myself away from the main action - depending on timings and clashes, and possibly also what day they're playing on - maybe they would fit a nice Sunday vibe better

Agreed food at WG is ace had some fantastic south aftican chilli which was served in a hollowed our garlic bread thing. Possibly the best thing I’ve had to eat at a festival.

That was the exact thing I was thinking of! 

Plus the wood fired pizza.

Ok, I'm definitely going hunting for this next time. It sounds ace. I also like the Nigerian place in Lion's Den (and my favourite veg chilli place from Glastonbury makes an appearance there too)....but tbh found the food elsewhere to be a bit more like festivals of yore (i.e. a bit shit)

I was just coming on here to say that sounds like Bunny Chow but you beat me to it.

This is my 1st Boomtown. I heard Whistlers Green is the place to go for vegan food. Is that right?

Can't wait for the Metropolis announcement today!!

The bunny chow stall does a vegan chilli version which is delicious. Yes vegan food is available at WG but also near to the lions den. There’s also a couple of other vegan stalls uptown. I found it quite easy to get great food at a reasonable price.

    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
