Bisque Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 When was the last time they played? I remember seeing part of their set featured in one of those BBC compilation videos. Didn’t they headline Other? Looked like fun set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel that they are likely to be a West Holts headliner though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABOWL Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 1 minute ago, Bisque said: Reckon they’d get the same slot 10 years later? I think so yeah. In 2000 (they only play big Anniversaries apparently) they Subbed the Pyramid but in an interview a couple of months back Tennant said they only like playing in the dark which means most likely a headline slot. Their 2010 gig certainly wouldn’t have been as good in Daylight, their Stage set would have been wasted. Some have suggested West Holts but I personally think they might be a bit too big for that. Depends how big the headliners are elsewhere I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Bisque said: Reckon they’d get the same slot 10 years later? It'd be pretty odd to put them any lower. They got one of the largest Other Headline crowds of the last 10 years (though to be honest that's not saying a whole lot), and if anything there's more hype behind them now than there was 10 years ago considering the Hyde Park thing and that they're heading out on a Greatest Hits tour hitting a large number of arenas. Maybe 2nd or 3rd from top on the Pyramid would work but they've said that they want darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough room to dance and just enough squish to make it feel like everyone you're next to is your best friend. Was right around there for Radiohead.

When you’re in the thick of it you don’t quite appreciate what you’re in the thick of until you watch it back on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasperella Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 @FuzzyDunlop and @Gnomicide - given that you're both pit entry pros, how does it work....do they have someone stopping additional folk getting in when it gets to full? And Gnomicide, for the Stones were you still in the pit before the sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Nah - it's self-policing. Youll work it out yourself when you cant get any further forward. We got into the Stones pit in the changeover after Primal Scream, but it was definitely a squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said. I'd watched a band up in Avalon while Primal Scream were on. The walk down was interesting, the site seemed very quiet with almost everyone heading towards The Pyramid, including Seasick Steve who emerged from West Holts backstage bit and set off at quite a pace. I got there as Primal Scream were doing their last song and made my way to the side. Only a few seemed to want out as they finished up and there was quite a push into the pit, I felt sorry for those trying to get out as they were definitely fighting against the tide. That was by far the busiest I've known it though, normally 2 streams form, one in and one out and it's relatively easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
