Years & Years Sunday, Neil, as they’re playing a Pride party in Dublin on the Friday and Colourboxx (thanks @Somto Unigwe Raphael) on Saturday.

Bear with me here but:

If Sunday is the only day Years and Years can play. Does that pretty much lock in Pet Shop Boys for Sunday as well? Given they've performed together many times it seems likely they will guest during each others sets...

With that in mind and the fact PSB will be headlining then surely this makes my info of Kendrick headlining on the Sunday more likely?

Just saying etc...

How does PSB playing correlate with Kendrick playing? 

Can imagine Years and Years will be subbing Pet Shop Boys. Seems like a pretty obvious 1-2.

Yeah, seems no other place. JP headline would have them against PSB and they played Sunday Pyramid last time.

Weren’t they supposed to be up against Kendrick in 2020? 
 

Think that’s what he means.

Demographic wise if you’re going to have an artist which appeals to a younger demographic then having someone who appeals to a primarily different one seems logical.

Plus just filling in gaps if Foals are headlining the OS on Friday it rules PSB out for then, Macca headlining pyramid on Saturday (probably means a younger headliner for the OS)

So yeah I’d work on the assumption PSB are Sunday which fits with what I was told with Kendrick opposite on the Pyramid.

So this all but writes off QOTSA Friday then yeah? (sorry if this has been covered elsewhere...)

Foals - good for them, but seen them plenty of times and while they've always been solid, they've always underwhelmed me slightly. All Points East last year suggests diminishing returns.

Hoping for some good alternatives on WH/JP/Park.

I enjoyed Foals at APE but they’re hardly an exciting booking anymore as they play fucking everywhere all of the time, and even with new material I feel like I’ve seen it all before. They’re my front runner for Friday night so far and I’m sure they’ll nail that slot, but not anything I can get particularly enthused about in the lead up to the fest.

The sound was toilet so might have contributed!

I like them, and I think they're decent live, I've just seen it quite a few times now.

Must be an All Points East thing. Sound for Strokes 2019 was crap. Does make me wonder if I am better off seeking other places to see Gorillaz or The National.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
