balthazarstarbuck Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Has there been anything to confirm Dry Cleaning are playing the 2nd stage, or are we just assuming as such because them and Snapped Ankles were announced as replacements at the same time? They probably are a bit small to replace BM I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably are a bit small to replace BM I guess Both Dry Cleaning and Snapped Ankles were announced as replacements for Scalping and Dream Wife, so that was the implication. However, the organisers could of course move acts around so we don’t know for sure. Edited September 1, 2021 by lessthanwill1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love them a) they're nowhere near the size of Black Midi and b) BC, NR are surely the better known name of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStoner Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Can anyone please show me where Wide Awake have announced that SCALPING and Dream Wife are being replaced? Can't find anything on their website or Twitter, and don't use other social media really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCarter Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I sent off an application for 'my' band to play the festival back in April. We just received a reply saying that they're maybe opportunities to play, with only two days to go until the festival... Doesn't exactly fill me with hope.

WStoner Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 1 hour ago, lessthanwill1 said: Ah thank you. Tbf at least they announced it. Went to Reading recently and they quietly removed a lot of big names (e.g. Doja Cat) from the line up without ever formally announcing it.

Lunabella Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Who would be the most likely replacement if Black Midi pull out? Are Fat White Family too big to have waiting as a replacement? I'm sort of surprised they aren't already playing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Did anyone else realise DJs were playing in between bands on some of the stages (e.g. Moth Club and Bad Vibrations stages)!? Hadn’t seen that announced before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Also, I remember reading something about your first drink being free if you rolled over your ticket from 2020. Anyone else remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaphPH Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I really feel for festival organisers. Limited funds. Staff dropping out due to Covid. Hard getting staff anyway. Bands pulling out. Bombarded with questions and certain entitled punters throughout whilst trying to keep It together. I’ll be there on Friday and I hope it’s a great success. It’s nice they’ve replaced bands. Loads of festivals don’t even bother so late in the day. Just wish I wasn’t bothering to see Dry Cleaning in Kingston tomorrow night now.

Which social media site is this from? Would be nice to see the other tents DJ lineups. Personally very pleased with those replacements; but would be gutted if BM cant play. Maybe they could do an instrumental set instead 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe BM could get Les Claypool from Primus to sing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 How much of Brockwell Park will be cordoned off for the festival? With the forecast looking half decent i'm hoping to have a few beers on some grass before i go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a fair amount of space in the park still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1234321 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I really can't predict how busy it will be tomorrow...for me it's a dream lineup, but I'm aware that the majority of these bands (headliners included) are actually not that big in the grand scheme of things. Personally I'm hoping it's a bit more relaxed after attending an incredibly busy APE on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a decent crowd, but the fact most of the bands have been doing the rounds all summer already/a few bands have dropped out/it's a Friday afternoon probably has put a lot of people off.
