His video is designed to discredit, delegitimise and demoralise. Its not welcome.

Sorry that's your impression, I disagree but I really shouldn't have posted it in this thread, should have put in the Cyndi thread, might have got a less emotional and more reasoned response. Going to leave the subject now.

Appreciate your kind response mate. I don't mean to be too defensive either. Apols.

Nice to see Ticketmaster offering ticket+coach options for the wembley gig. Soured on biggreencoach last year after they cancelled my Def Leppard and Madonna coaches a week before I was meant to be getting on them. I assume ticketmaster making them part of the ticket means they have to exist even if take up isn't great.

Took a look and this just reminds me the incredible value of the festival . People knock the pointy stage but that is where you definately get your moneys worth . Sadly I’m out with those prices

I paid £130 for rear standing inc fees for AC/DC at Wembley on Sunday, and I only did that really as a big group of us went plus I know I'd never see them live again (saw them once before in 2009)

 

I got her £115 seating tickets and whilst she's glad she's going (it sold out v quickly) she did say its quite a lot and it was at the more mid-range of prices so wasn't much more I could do (the £80 and £100 ones had already sold out)

It's gone onto dynamic pricing now, so average price is way higher now.

That second date has flown out.

 

All lower tier seats gone except random 1s, the back of the gods is pretty much gone too just a couple thousand seats left on the sides of gods and a bit of standing!

I wonder how many people criticise Dua for an elaborate, choreographed headline set in which she sung live and danced, whilst at the same time praise acts who plug in a USB stick, press play, bounce around and let the light show create the illusion they’re doing anything.

I Just wish the bicep glue mix had come across better live. i didnt catch it at all until i watched the show back. i was pretty close to the front barrier where the mini stage was. no i wasnt spangled before anyone asks !

Not difficult to sound great when much of the music and vocals are pre-recorded, understandable to a degree when she was dancing a lot but it's a bit of a stretch to call this a live performance given the analysis here,

 

So Dua sounded great and Cyndi sounded sh*t, but a least she was doing it live. BTW Fil has been exposing the use of autotune , pitch correction and other fakery in the business for quite some time, you might not like this message but he is a champion of real live music.

 

 

Nah this video can get to f**k.

Dua was 100% singing live, she had backing track for the dance heavy sections I am sure, who actually cares though?

 

when she was actually properly singing you could, the I could be the one moment is a great example of how good she sounded live,
 

Watched it back twice and you can tell she is singing, video is designed to have a dig at her despite him telling you otherwise. 
 

this guy is giving me the living embodiment of “proper music, born in the wrong generation” type. 
 

Cyndi has never been a good singer live, that why she sounds sh*t.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
