Dales Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 i can see this festival being clash city for me. So I have kinda sorted them in to who are the most important to me. ie Tier 1, 2 and tier 3 which are those I would like to see but chances I will not. Those, I have seen before are in bold. The Friday is the weakest day for me. Wed 8th Tier 1 -Twenty One Pilots, Taylor Swift, Placebo, Wolfe Alice, Sam Fender Tier 2 - Angel Olsen, Yungblud, Creeper, Sports Team, Sea Girls Tier 3 - The Last Internationale, Hinds, Glass Animals, The Regrettes The 9th Tier 1 - The Killers, Billie Eilish, Foals, Gage the Elephant, Pale Waves Tier 2 - Deftones, Sigrid, Phoebe Bridgers Tier 3 - Confidence Man, Rex Orange Country, Charli XCX, Cherry Glazerr, Beabadoobee Fri 10th Tier 1 - Royal Blood, Nothing but Thieves, Tier 2 - Alt-J, Haim, Mumford & Sons, Frank Carter Tier 3 - Sleep Token, (Not that bothered by this day, the worse day for me. So hopefully discover some new acts) Sat 11th Tier 1 - Kings of Leon, Faith No More, Pixies, London Grammar, Paul Weller, Dinosaur Pile-Up Tier 2- The Stuts, The Rapture, Major Lazer Tier 3 - Easy Life, Blood Red Shoes, Tom Grennan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommend Rufus Du Sol, they're fantastic! just properly gotten into them and having watched some live performances they look really good, songs i'd recommend would be: You Were Right, Sundream, Treat You Better, Until the Sun Needs to Rise.. and that's just naming a few of my favourites Edit: for anybody interested some of the smaller acts worth checking out are, Easy Life, Clairo, Kali Uchis, Tom Misch, Sticky Fingers and The Chats Edited March 1, 2020 by OnlyRevolutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dip Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Smaller band recommendations? Here are mine. Creeper: Theatrical punk band from Southampton who have gone brit pop with their new album and draw heavily from the worlds of David Bowie and My Chemical Romance Sports Team: Easily the best British indie band around Brutus: Cinematic post-hardcore that's all sorts of brilliant Beabadoobee: The 1975's Matty Healy says she's the most exciting act in the world and I can see why. Noisy and grungey with a bunch of pop sensibilities. The Chats. Chaotic punk band from Australia, all their songs are under three minutes and all of them are stupidly catchy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 It's hard to recommend bands with out knowing the sort of music some likes. However, if you like the poppy end of the Cure think "happy sad" for want of a better term then I recommend Pale Waves. Sam Fender is quality even if low down on the poster but a big artist (think a sad Bruce Springsteen) If indie/punk is your bag then check out Sports Team & Creeper.

wro_lap Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Sorry to be that guy but... we aren’t under threat of cancellation because of Coronavirus, are we?

In relation to this, anyone such as myself travelling from the UK or otherwise should make sure they have their travel insurance sorted.

I'm (supposedly) flying out to Amsterdam in four weeks time, all is covered for now and the air b n b even lets me get a full refund with reasonable notice.

The epidemy might escalate even further, at that point I doubt any event will take place, honestly. On the other hand, I believe we are just victims of media terrorism to some extent, so there is no reason at the moment to be so pessimistic about the situation (and I'm talking as an Italian who lives in the biggest city of the most hit region) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't cancelling concerts here for now + festivals take place in open spaces, the real problem would be concerts in closed spaces. I'm not worried at all! + coronavirus apparently doesn't survive high temperatures so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifioke Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Is anyone else staying at NYX Hotel? What's the best way of getting to the festival, it's only like 20min drive from the hotel so thinking of just doing Uber but I heard there were shuttles or something?

If this year the underground will be open, you must go in line 8. All years have buses to return to plaza castilla, 20 min walking of your hotel.
