The sound was shit for Stevie yesterday. Really disappointing gig. The announcement at the end that he's pretty ill explained the unusual set choices, but that doesn't explain the fact that we could barely hear him.

Will there be any cheap tickets for Robbie? ??‍♂️ Asking for a friend (legit). I’ve told her probably best bet is Twickets.. but, just in case I miss anything...

Its "sold out" of GA but golden circle VIP on sale still so while I'm sceptical they've actually sold out I imagine Twickets is the only way and that there'll be no cheap tickets. 

 

 I've had at least 5 alerts per day for the last couple of weeks til I pulled the trigger today, so I imagine they'll only get more frequent as the gig gets closer. I'd just advise to get them when possible

A fair way back by Delay 9 but looking at Facebook comments it seems the problems were widespread.

Not sure I’ve ever been at a Hyde Park gig where the sound has been above “adequate”.

Blur 2012 was the worst, couldn’t hear a thing.

It was really good for Roger Waters last year, had a proper surround-sound effect going on and it wasn't noticeably bad for Neil Young.

Maybe we were further back than normal this time and that had an effect (but like I say, there seems to be a lot of discontent across social media). But it was near enough impossible to get closer anyway due to my other complaint....all the absolute w*nkers with picnic blankets. And the mess as we were leaving was disgusting too, so few bins around.

Disappointing to hear as I thought they had resolved the sound issues - no complaints from me the last two times I went to Hyde Park (2018 and 2016).

Hopefully no issues on Saturday!

Neil Young being on before Bob Dylan is because Dylan is obsessed with no one taking his photo and so he'll wait until it gets darker....If you've seen him in an Arena it's near total darkness and poorly lit on purpose...

I'm imagine 15 mins into the set, that the BST crowd, if they don't know what they'll get from Bob, will flee Hyde Park in big numbers...

I'm seeing them both in Kilkenny on Sunday instead

Guess there’s no chance for free tickets right? (National day)

APE has definitely spoiled me 

this is what im here for too. ?

[Sean1234321]

I don't know what happened but three free VIP tickets for the National day went up on twickets earlier...don't know if it was mistake or something but they weren't on there for very long.

I think the sound has improved over the years but agree its not perfect - there will always be issues with sound in such public open air venues, Finsbury Park suffers the same problem. 

On balance though I like BST -  decent headliners and under cards, its fairly easy to get to/ from, bar queues have never been too bad and never really had any issues with unfriendly crowds.

Yeah its a bit corporate and the tiered ticket pricing is annoying but I'll take it over something at the O2 or Olympic Stadium any day.

Any tips for attending this festival solo? Never been to a festival on my own before ! Cheers

[Brave Sir Robin]

Knocked up a Spotify playlist for the Dylan & Young day, the 20-odd tracks each of Bob and Neil have been playing most often this year (in chronological order), and a few from Marling, Boy Azooga and Cat Power too:

Question.. is Wimbledon normally televised somewhere in the park?

You may have found the only way to make this festival more middle class

Hi guys!

Just checking that for the days where it applies (Ie not the ones where they've sold the Gold circle separately), the GA access to inside the first barrier is working the same as previous years?

Ie, get there early for a wristband, which then lets you come and go out of the area throughout the day?

TIA.

Only one day (Florence) this year where it does apply pal, looking at the map though it seems the same as previous years. 

 

Got really lucky yesterday and was sold a pair of tickets for this for £50, one happy bunny right now!

Great, thanks. yeah, it's the Florence (National) day I'm asking about.

Have a great day!

What's the situation at BST these days with bringing food and drinks in? Is it the standard remove bottle lids stuff or can you take a things in with you? 

Also, how heavy are searches upon entry? I haven't been to BST since the fabled years of the cheap Blur and Kendrick tickets.

Pretty strict - no food or drink, sealed water only...

No food or drink is permitted to be brought into Hyde Park (with the exception of water in unopened plastic containers, empty water bottles to refill, and baby food where not in glass containers).

No food or drinks apart from unopened water bottles. They were searching everyone on the way in, bags and punters having to go through airport style scanners.

Hi everyone. I have a spare for Bob Dylan and Neil Young tomorrow. Selling at face value. It is a priority entry ticket and is £96 which includes the fees. Can meet this evening or tomorrow before the gig. Thanks

[jakobgallagher]

Hey guys don't mean to be undercutting DWDLondon (sorry) but I also have a spare going for this tomorrow at face value, £80. Give me a shout if anyone's interested?
