Do we think the Ally Pally gig will sell out tomorrow? Money is tight this month for obvious reasons, so I'd prefer to wait, but maybe that's a silly idea? It's twice the size of Brixton Academy, have they doubled in popularity since then?

I wouldn't sleep on the tickets but you're probably safe till next payday. Tickets are still on sale and probably will be for a bit.

I normally work Saturday evening and nights and therefore has resigned myself that I wouldn’t be able to see Hot Chip this year. 

So ages ago I asked my boss for favourable shifts - even though I don’t like doing this, and last night she posted the shifts..... and...... 

I CAN GO TO THE BALL ! ! ! !

*** ? ? ? ?  ? ? ? ? ***

Now doing 12:30 till dawn shift and am super chuffed and excited.  

I’ve seen them do Other, West Holts and now The Park, it’s funny how they have moved “down” the stages.

I have made my decision to watch Hot Chip. I would not enjoy myself elsewhere knowing Hot Chip were playing and I was not there.

I'd probably put The Park on a level par with West Holts.  Did you miss the John Peel set in 2007?  They've also played the Square Pie stall once apparently!

Other is the only one that hasn't been a headliner.

Yeah I’m 100% in the Hot Chip camp. The only thing that may scupper my plans is that my husband wants to watch Chems.

@ian the worm great news about your shifts! See you at Hot Chip and Let’s Eat Grandma ??.

So you only got to decide over 99 other stages.

As a worker that has traditionally worked Saturdays it was quite a big thing to ask move my shift - before I’d even been given them. So glad I did.

My Saturday now looks like.... 1pm - 5pm work.... Kate Tempest .... Hot Chip..... work till dawn.

Its kinda perfect.

Probably my most looked forward to set. I think they'll steal the weekend. Can't contain my excitement. Looking at the setlist for APE and they did a cover of Sabotage by the Beastie Boys? Inject it into my veins.

Yeah it's part of the set on this tour.

Can shows get relegated to ‘secret’ @Gnomicide? Perhaps they thought Common would be even more rammed than normal so have to make Hot Chip a ‘secret’ 

Not something I've ever heard of before. I've not looked at The Temple's times on the official site, is there a gap?

Beastie Boys cover was good, but not as good as their Dancing In The Dark cover IMO.

Not sure a hot chip DJ set would be a bigger draw than, say, Seth Troxler or Fabio and Grooverider TBH.

 

there aren’t any gaps in the common line-up FYI.

I think it would be a much bigger draw, just because of the name and people seeing it as an opportunity to see the band they've just missed for the Killers or Chemical Bros (they won't be though really, obviously).

Agreed, that cover is special.

I asked someone close to the band (who has previously revealed 100% accurate info well ahead of announcements) about this, was told no, just the Park set. So if it's a secret, it's one they're guarding very, very closely. I strongly doubt it but you never know, I guess.

Joe Goddard is doing a midday-odd DJ set in the Stonebridge Bar isn't he? B2B with a female DJ IIRC?

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
