British Summer Time 2020

"The gig, celebrating 30 years of Pearl Jam, will be their only UK date on their European tour."

I wonder if the whole tour is going to be a "30th anniversary celebration" or just this show...

Pearl Jam and Pixies is a great night, but to see White Reaper as the third name really excites me. Absolutely love that band and thrilled to see them support one of my favourites in PJ

Interesting to see how much they'll charge and whether PJ will do what The Cure managed and hold off the golden/diamond circle. Might be a deal-breaker for me

[JSmurphy]

I am there. That support .

[TGCarr]

Really hoping Foo Fighters are another headliner.

Take my money! 

[Gilgamesh69]

Would anyone be kind enough to give me their Ten club presale code, or whatever it is? I'd greatly appreciate it because it seems to be the only way to get into the front area. I'll make it up to you, maybe get you a couple of overpriced pints ?

 

Also, turns out Idles are supporting them on some shows. Wouldn't surprise me if they get added onto this day later as well

[zahidf]

Seems like it's a paid golden/diamond circle thing 

[Claire96]

Could anyone tell me if the sound at Hyde Park is as bad as a lot of people seem to make it out to be? Super wary of getting tickets because of it.

[BlackFoxx]

Do people think this will be a quick sell out? Currently have tickets for 2000 Trees which is same weekend but want to see how that lineup and Rock Werchter's (as an alternative way to see Pearl Jam) develop before I commit to selling one and buying the other.

Dunno - I don't recall them selling out MK Bowl but I do think they sold out their O2 Arena shows when they were last over here.

Never really had an issue with it any of the years but I am normally pretty tanked, was mildly sober for Robbie Williams and it sounded fine. That was at the back mind.

[finn_with_1_n]

That Ten Club section seems rather large, wouldn't be surprised if it gets filled in the presale however

I've done a Hyde Park show or two for probably the last decade and never had an issue. In fact I've always had a great day out.

Are the 10 Club tickets higher priced? 

[Hawros]

The 'Ten Club' tickets on the map are also sold without Ten Club membership as 'Amex Summer Garden'. They're a £20 upgrade - £110 vs £90.

For me, the upgrade cost is a no-brainer. It's a case of making the day, as outside the barrier is a long way back.

Reckon those ones will sell out? Contemplating leaving it for now and trying to get them cheaper nearer the time

Hard to gauge for the day as a whole, but would absolutely expect these to sell out.

It's always possible to get them late (Twickets) for these Hyde park days, but if this proves to be one of the more popular days, they can be thin on the ground. 

I'd get them now if you can stretch to it.

Isn't that the blue field on the side? Annoyingly it is a little too side-on, especially compared to the Ten Club section

It gives you access to both the blue bit and the purple bit

BST Hyde Park's Twitter said there were two new headliners to announce... Is this expected very soon?

[John L]

So it’s £85 to be nowhere near the front or £110 to get to the front. Holy shit.

[Goer190]

I'll be paying the £110, take my money

One of those was Pearl Jam

Indeed, yes, but I was wondering if there was an indication if the other one was also about to be declared (and probably misworded the best way to say that but ho hum).
