Tonybyates Posted February 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Pigeon Detectives headline The Nest on Sunday then, anyone got any idea who’s doing the other days? I reckon The Murder Capital would be ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfiemartin Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Anyone think we can get a circa waves/ Declan McKenna as a sub headliner for the Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I got an e-mail through earlier saying that they're now out of tier 3 tix and are onto tier 4. So this must be getting to be a quicker sell-out than last year's event. Not bad going, particularly as I think last year's was a better bill.

Hoping for a bit of a curveball for the other sub if it's not Loyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed by the layout of the poster he’s headlining the Saturday, so he’s still free. It’s in Oxford too, so it’s an easy enough jump to make.

It's more they will have most likely have him exclusive, so as not to damage ticket sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those are in competition with truck though, Wilderness though is in the same county, around the same time and had much cheaper tickets, can hardly see them letting one of there tentpole names play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head: 1999 my first, was almost just being like at a free party as no police or security and there were just local dealers stood there with rucksacks full of drugs at the front of the 'trance tent' 2005 - Biffy Clyro headlined to a small ish crowd (capacity was only 5,000 back then) 2015 - Slaves in the barn and then Basement Jaxx headlining - who were outrageous. Most of the years I can't remember much of not sure if a good or a bad thing. I live in the next town along (Abingdon) so its easy for me to get to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWaters Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Ticket bought. Love that, feel like I can already taste my first sip of dark fruits after getting the tent set up. Get me to festival season right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was heaving, heard one boy in Cassia boasting about how he snuck in. I hope they install some better shade spots and I'm glad to see there are showers again unlike last year, even if they have to be paid for. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which might explain why the Monday morning traffic getting out of the thing was so awful. Or at least it did from images I saw on Twitter, given I left pretty much straight after 2 Door finished their thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
