orangepaterson Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I would be VERY surprised if they check bookers names against I.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 While I'm excited for The Cure, I'm finding myself getting more and more excited about seeing The Twilight Sad as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twilight Sad at the Barrowlands in March was one of the best gigs I've been to, them and Mogwai is probably about as good as you could hope for in terms of support acts. I was a bit gutted The Cure never played Disintegration at NOS Alive so I really hope they play it here. The weather looks quite grim for Friday but The National were fantastic in the pouring rain last week and I've got no doubt this will be the same.

cammie81 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Think we'll get more detailed timings or is music from 15:30 about as detailed as we'll get? For Sat maybe something like: 15:30 Hot Milk 16:30 The Van T's 17:30 Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes 19:00 Slaves 20:30 Foos That would give the Foos 2 hrs 30 mins before the music ends (officially) though will prob be more like 2 hrs 15 mins.

zzzfest Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Never been there before. Will trainers do the job under the rainy weather? Or should I put on trekking shows or wellies? Advise appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Weather will be fine for the most part. I think the ground will be okay for trainers, at least tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Definitely recommend walking boots or wellies today. The grounds alright near the stage but pretty muddy elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I did NOT expect that size of crowd for this. Impressive turnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFD Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yep huge turnout and brilliant set. The site is cutting up badly though, wellies recommended for anyone going to the Foos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I was in front of the sound desk and had no idea how big the crowd was until I started heading out. They can’t have been far off selling it out. Some gig though. The Joy Formidable were a decent start and The Twilight Sad were excellent as usual, you could see how much playing to a big crowd in Glasgow meant to them. Really enjoyed Mogwai too and The Cure’s setlist was pretty much perfect. Between this and the Kelvingrove gigs I’ve had a brilliant couple of weeks for gigs in Glasgow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grounds alright near the stage but pretty muddy elsewhere. Agreed. By the end of The Cure’s set, the ground turned into a quagmire. My trainers were covered in mud to ankle. For anyone who goes on Saturday, I’d recommend wellies rather than walking boots. Beware, deep deep mud here and there. The Cure’s performance was almost impeccable, nothing short of brilliant. And their first Scottish appearance in twenty-seven years. A night to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Day Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Brilliant day yesterday. Didn’t get in for JF but Twilight Sad, Mogwai and the Cure were magnificent. Time just disappeared. Anyone going today wear boots. It’s very soft underfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Ground was way better for Foos after they put straw down and a bit of wind and sun did its thing. Both days were excellent. Cure were totally amazing. Less so was the bus queue to get back to town. Ended up walking. Got the train the 2nd night. That was a far better experience.

harryomatic Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Had a quality time at Foos on Saturday. Enjoyed the Van Ts, Frank Carter did exactly what he was tasked with, and Foos were on top form. Weather wasn't a bother, even with the mud, it was all boards on the floor from the sound desk onwards so no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloé971 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Going to see 1975 tomorrow, can anyone recommend what footwear to take? Will old trainers be ok considering the weather or will walking boots/ wellies be needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
