Trying not to get too excited as they give out a lot of 5* reviews (inc. what went down), but hearing that there'll be a large Antidotes/TLF sounding presence is getting me hyped ?

"From ‘Two Steps, Twice’ to ‘My Number’ and ‘What Went Down’, the band have their fair share of festival anthems that can unite main stages across the globe, but one listen to ‘In Degrees’ and it tops the lot."

Well, this has hyped me right up

Anyone at Gorilla tonight?? Can you let me know what time foals started playing. Going to Edinburgh tomorrow and don't want to be late 

8.30pm, finished 10.15pm after encore

6 songs from new LP, all sounding amazing. Great mix from back catalogue, Providence sounding bigger than ever. 

Unreal.

Is White Onions a heavy song? Because if there's 5 heavy songs in a row, I don't know how I'll be able to survive.

Anyone with any news on tickets for London on Thursday hit me up!

One came on Twickets yesterday and was on my phone literally as the notification came out but missed out on it

Haha same thing happened for me. Twickets is great but literally impossible for things like this. Think you need 0.0001 second reaction when that alert comes through. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Good luck guys. A tip I'd give if you're reaaaally keen:

On Twickets a ticket will be listed before you receive any notifications. I previously sold a spare ticket on there for Major Lazer, and was with a friend who had a ticket but hadn't taken his alert off. It was listed and sold pretty much instantly before he received the notification. Similarly, I bought an Idles tickets off there in Oct from someone who I'd arranged with on Twitter. He told me he'd list it at 20:00, so I refreshed the search tickets area and was able to nab it successfully before I received the notification that a ticket was listed. 

Now, I believe there's an app/program that you can use which automatically track any changes to web-page. I've heard a few on here have been really lucky and got Glastonbury tickets in secret announced sales using this. I believe @eFestivals runs this, and it's a £5 a month I think (probably less than any pint you'd buy at the venue if you did get a ticket!). No guarantees anymore will go up but probably worth looking into if you're desperate to be there?

Another tip - Twickets tweet the ticket availability and link to buy before the email alerts are sent out so if super keen set up twitter alerts on your phone and you'll be alerted a few minutes before you would by email. Has worked for me in the past with shows that are in high demand

I'm so glad the Manchester date is out of the way now, was an annoying 6 days of constantly looking out for tickets. Didn't manage it but you can't do them all.

There were people on facebook and twitter offering to pay between £100-£500 which is frankly nuts.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
