Anyone who's been before, how long is the walk between the main stage and the second stage?

It’s not far. Can easily be done in 5 mins or 10 if you stop off to buy a beer.

Looking forward to this now! Just doing the Saturday. Wasn't meant to be going but one of my friends had a spare VIP ticket that he charged half price for, which I couldn't say no too.

Looking at the lineup, it's going to be The K's, Zuzu, The Magic Gang, Snuts, The Big Moon (wanted Vaccines over Jake Bugg as special guest, but hey-ho), Noisy, Baby Queen, Sam Fender or Reverend. Not sure about James yet, but will probably be well up for it after a fair few pints over the afternoon!

Absolutely devastated - girlfriend tested positive on an LFT so selling the tickets today. Its so close to where we live as well. Leeds wasn't worth missing this. Summer is over it seems!

Cheers for that, sounds easy enough. There's a few times when I'm gonna have to run between the two stages so 5 mins is perfect 👍

Really sorry to hear that mate. Take care of yourselves. Better times will come soon.

Thanks! Got some hope riding on courteeners at the end of the month, but I'm not 100% on gatherings on that size still being allowed by then, plus I suspect if it is happening they'll have pulled forward the 2 jabs/no test rules, and this means we can't (shouldn't and won't, even if i test negative which I seem to be) get the 2nd for another month. Fingers crossed for the stars to align on that one!!

Anyone have any taxi companies that are taking bookings for return journeys from the festival on Sunday night? Tried 3 so far, no luck.

If not, I'm thinking 23:05 train to Manchester then taxi.

Same here. All the ones I've tried were order on day only. 

[D-Low]

Has anyone done the train out of Warrington Central after the festival? Can I expect mega queues? Could only get a hotel in Manchester so only really have the option of the last train back. Thanks

anyone know if they have decent covid measures like free hand sanitiser?

I would also like to know this. Anyone who went last night what are the searches like? Could I get a hip flask in today? I’ve seen it’s £6.50 a pint!

That's pretty good for Amstel to be fair, it's nearly a fiver in the pubs around here. 

Better that the 6.50 for carlsbad export at reading.

Haha wasn't even export at Leeds! 

Hope everyone's had an amazing time at Neighbourhood. Hoping it moves back to May next year so I don't have to wait so long!!

Only one bar in the arena did export at reading, the one under canvas opposite the fayre. Was also good as the queues were  better than the main ones by the 2 main stages.

May bank holiday is moving next year, I'm sure we will find out tomorrow.

Easy Life were being absolute knobs apparently yesterday, main guy was telling James etc to fuck off on stage and asking who all the other bands were. Absolute diva, can tell they are going to become really hit or miss live.

 

edit: any word on Catfish? apparently for Cocoon was just van singing and the others all left

As so often with rumours there’s a very slight element of truth to this but very twisted.

 

What happened is the band played Cocoon as usual to finish their set and they all walked off at the end of the song but Van stayed out and sang the chorus acoustically a few more times

Ah cheers 👍still no tyrants too actually cannot believe they have chopped it off their live sets, its literally their best song live
