An impressive one to get other posts inbetween. I need to up my game. 

He's just bumping his post count. Him and @Gucci Piggy are in direct competition.

Saw 323 bands last year and Idles has to be in the top 5 gigs of 2018. 

At Boomtown the whole tent was jumping and it got so warm that a foggy veil descended during the show

That's awesome. Have you ever managed to see 365 bands in a year?

[dccool]

Just caught up with this thread great news to hear them confirmed (almost).

Defo gonna be one of my must see regardless of anything else that's going on

[Jericode]

323 is incredible going, I thought I did well with 108 in 2016 

Dead keen to see these in a few weeks.

Ha Think that will only happen when I retire! 

[Gucci Piggy]

Christ I think I went to two gigs (plus one festival) last year.

I can confirm this. It was mental in there. I had to take my glasses off after 2 minutes or I'd never have seen them again. One guy near me lost a hat, looked around for it for 30 seconds and then gave it up as an impossible retrieval. A couple of songs later, the same guy lost a shoe! And five minutes after that, against all conceivable likelihood, he found it again to a universal cheer from the moshers surrounding him!

The only downside was that the pit was SO hot and sweaty that after coming out (around 10pm), I was then bloody freezing in gradually cooling sweaty clothes for the whole of Thursday night!

You have to understand that jammy little deebeedoobee, from about April to October, is actually 'at a festival' almost continuously!!

Aghhh that’s soooo hard. I’d have to think about that. The Wedding Present is definitely in there somewhere and possibly Opiuo

I was trying to soften it so people didn't have too militant jealousy of you...!

Thats mindblowing.

One hell of a combo

Well spotted.

They could well do one of the slots in Williams Green on the Thursday. Probably does rule out a late night slot somewhere though if they need time to get to Luxembourg the day after.

[HeyPorter]

Did anybody land tickets for the Warchild gig? Just had my ‘unsuccessful’ email. Relieved as would never have been able to make it as completely messed dates up. 

[priest17]

Swing and a miss for me, good effort though. Preferred their Kanye West cover.

Won't headline but probably 3rd, maybe pushing for 2nd down.

Someone made a valid point recently that they're the sort of act that the JP puts on reasonably early in the day to attract a mega crowd.

Think this is likely although I would quite like them to get the 15 minutes extra the headliners get. Not a lot in their current gigs I want getting cut
