I'd be interested in the biggest tours (in terms of numbers of tickets sold rather than ££). That would give insight into the biggest live acts.

Might surprise ya

Tickets sold im sure is there but couldn’t squeeze into the photo

Despite growing up through Disney's renaissance in the late 80s early 90s I never had much affection for the films or therefore the music as a child. But now my kids are watching that nonsense I love singing along when the tunes. The Lion King and Moana's soundtracks are amongst my most played albums.

I would be 100% behind a micro-venue that played Disney tunes all night.

I think Moana might be the best film they've ever done.  Certainly it's my favourite released in my lifetime (I'm 40)

No.  Despite the visual similarities these days, I find Moana and Tangled much more like old Disney films than Pixar films, so I can't really compare them.

Good because Inside Out and Monsters Inc are better than anything Disney has ever done, with the possible exception of The (original) Lion King.

I always tell people that the first gig I ever went to was Iron Maiden in 1981. I say this because it's the first one I chose to go to.

My actual first gig was one I was dragged along to by my parents, it was Tammy Wynette. I fell asleep.

The first gig I chose to go to was The Boomtown Rats when I was 13.

My actual first gig (dragged along with babysitterless parents) was Val Doonican! Then Charley Pride! I really enjoyed both of them!

Blimey, Charley Pride. That's not a name you see mentioned very often, my dad had loads of albums by him. I've just had a look and was amazed to see that not only is he still alive, he's still touring.

Val Doonican is from my hometown. I think it was Waterford law that you had to have at least one album when I was a child. I was quite the fan of Paddy McGinty's Goat.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
