Anybody else really struggling with volume on iPlayer? I’m outside in my paddling pool soaking up the sun so only using a small plug in speaker but the volume was much higher listening to bbc 6 music this morning... anybody have a fix? Idles just doesn’t feel right at low volumes!!!

Maybe a stupid suggestion but have you turned the volume up on the actual iplayer? I think it starts at default 7.

Best triple-header I've seen on the Pyramid was prob Madness, Nick Cave, Blur (decent finish to a great festival).

That does sound fantastic, sadly 2011 was my first year. 2009 continually gets discussed as the pinnacle of the festival. For me I think the toss up is between 2013 and 2017 for the best festival year.

If anyone is familiar with the joys of get_iplayer (and have a few hundred gigs of free disk space)  - you'll want this command

get_iplayer --pid=b007r6vx --pid-recursive

You are welcome

Cheers. Fiber internet gonna come in handy for this one. 
 

does that command work for a series on iplayer also? Just gotta use the main page of a program and run it?

Anyone else just can't "get" Sharon Van Etten?

 

I'm sure there'll be some but I'm not one of them. She's fab. Her Sinead O' Connor cover at the last Glastonbury was wonderful.

Saw today's one yesterday but can't find it now, as hoping the primal scream set is not the one before the Stones as he was in a right mood

It's the Other stage one I think when it was hammering it down (U2 on the Pyramid). 

I think it's the best I've seen them but I was very, very, drunk.

The XX 2017 set is really a thing of beauty, I would love them to get the headline gig one of these days. The triple header of Royal Blood, The XX followed by Radiohead is probably still the best night I've ever had at the festival. 

You know what, I am not really a fan of the XX but that set was brilliant. Royal Blood, quick bit to eat, then the XX was a great double bill. I didn't stay for Radiohead though.

Idles on the live channel now ( I am just letting it play all day and night as if it is the way the lineup was already arranged). Never listened to or watched Idles before. I like them. I always like bands who are one with the people.

Not stupid at all! Thanks for the suggestion I do have it up to 11, it’ll do for now hopefully they sort the player volume at some point

I've been doing the same - having it on in the background while working. It's as close to stumbling around on a Thursday as you can get!

Doesn't look like it's the full Radiohead set :(

Freaking shame. So what was bbc music touting “FULL SETS BY EVERYONE” if the iplayer is only showing an hour?

 

can anyone record the live broadcast and maybe that ends up being the full set? Could be a mix up on their end.

My running order thus far has been REM, Underworld and now Lorde.  Hard to make a bad choice with the options available.

I've gone in with Hot Chip.

Definitely in my top 5 sets in the 12 years I've been.

Anyway, I've just proved to myself that I'm unable to work with Idles on at the same time - I'm amusing this will apply to any band, so I'm turning iPlayer off until I've finished work.

Depends on what job you do.   If you were a Spanish riot cop then Idles might be suitable.  Not if you’re doing keyhole surgery

The irony... 😃

    • 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.
