she bangs the drums Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Looking at Clashfinder, i cannot say i am sad at missing the festival this year. Been most years in past 20 years, however only about 6/7 bands i would watch. Hopefully get all the bland indie nonsense out of the way this year and back with bang in 2022. For those who are going, enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who are going, enjoy. I’m in the same position,been every year since 2003 but only 5 or 6 bands left for me this year as I’ve been hit big time with the drop outs. However, I’m still going this year.Mainly due to the year we’ve just had, the alternative is to sit at home staring at the same four walls that I’ve been looking at throughout lockdown haha. Looking at it positively,Im treating each day as a Dinosaur Pile up, Fever333 and Biffy gig and I’m sure I’ll have a great time wondering around with a beer in hand.Though I won’t get tickers for next year until I see the line up.

It's got to be R&L, nothing else it could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I just think I’ve been unlucky with withdrawals, can’t blame the festival at all as it’s unavoidable and most are very happy with the line up so they’re obviously doing it right. Since I bought the ticket in 2019 for the supposed 2020 festival, I’ve lost RATM,The Bronx, Idles, Cancer Bats, Fontaines DC, QOTSA, Ho99o9, Gallows, Cleopatrick and Spiritbox off the top of my head (there’s probably more) so little wonder that there isn’t much left I want to see.I’m sure if you took 10 bands off most peoples ‘must see’ list then they’d also be left with slim pickings. As I said, not anyone’s fault and the festival have obviously done a good job as everyone, including yourself, have plenty they want to see.(I’d also have 17 bands without the withdrawals) Dont rule out me posting on here on Monday saying how much of a good time I’ve had despite the line up not being to my taste though haha.

Andre91 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Nobody can really compare this year’s lineup to 2019’s; they came out straight away and said that it was going to essentially be a new lineup. You can only really moan about dropouts from the 2020 lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, I was just saying that bands like RATM, Idles and The Bronx were some of the bands that made me but the ticket in the first place as this years ticket is rolled over from that line up. But yes, mainly frustrated about the withdrawals this year as unavoidable as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Have to say its honestly really stacked for me this lineup, 7 acts on Friday/Saturday and 6 on Sunday now blossoms have been announced plus secret sets potentially. Really happy with how this year has turned out, since the original announcement a lot of good stuff has been added which didn't really happen last time I went. Not even filler acts too, about 80% of what i'm seeing I would consider/buy a gig ticket for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
