2016: glad to see people say Muse and Disclosure were both duff, because Sigur Ros put in probably the best JP set in memory. Majestic. Would love to see them do it again.

We were at Underworld, which I still say is the best night I've ever had at the festival. Roisin Murphy, Underworld & then Wobbling up to Arcadia.

4 of us went there, 2 others went to see Muse.

The next morning

"How were muse?"  -

"Good, but not great - how was your night?"

"You seriously messed up"

I used to love Muse before they became Queen in Space and they’re a band that I’ll still pop along to see at a festival if nothing else takes my fancy as they rarely disappoint live...

Except in 2016 when they disappointed live. I remember them being on stage and then I remember them not being on stage. It wasn’t memorable in any way, unlike their 2004 set which was electric!

That Kanye set: watched it back, forgot how amazing the opening half hour was. Felt like we were on course for a historical one. He lost his buzz after the stage interruption, it sagged needlessly introverted tunes in the middle, though the encores were a fun rebound. But! In the pit, the vibe was electric. Kanye was visibly grinning at the crowd response, asking the DJ to cut the tunes so the chants alone would carry his songs. Could see him back. If U2 have unfinished business, so does Ye.

I would love to see Kanye come back. I absolutely loved his set, and it's one of my favourite live sets I have ever seen anywhere. The only thing that might concern me is that he'd come back and do all his Jesus Is King sort of stuff!

Ideal scenario for me would be that he makes up with Jay, and they come back together for a Watch The Throne II set... But It'll never happen.

Funny story about seeing Busted in Avalon actually. 

So I went with my 2 female friends (used them as my excuse to be fair). We got there in fairly good time so were really close to the front. Anyway you can see them playing and half way through a song I made eye contact with one of them and he genuinely had a confused look on his face like "You're not a girl or a teenager, why are you here?".

Never in my life have I instantly felt more out of place :D

Ah! I see that Underworld set spoken in holy tones all the time and always wonder how I’d manage to miss it. Went for the Icelandic mewling. Happy with my choice but... rats. Hope they do it again (WH 2022?)

I think the Underworld set was very much a right stage, right time kind of set. It'd stopped raining & everyone there was up for it. The crowd reactions to Rez, Two Months off & Born Slippy were brilliant. 

Doesn't look it on the TV, but I loved the simple light show with the smoke.

If Sigur Ros was saturday, I'd have been there - but I wanted something to bounce to on the Friday night!

Would love to be a fly on the wall when AC/DC ask the Eavises to build them a custom stage because the Pyramid isn't grand enough, and make sure no other stage on site has live music that overlaps with their performance. Sure to go down well.

<cough> Coachella <cough>

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
