Last time I went to a gig there, no alcohol could be taken in or sold in the arena. 😯

It was a long time ago but still not over it.

Luckily we had tickets that got us into a VIPish bit that had a bar (mate was going out with the singer from Boo Radleys sister 😄). £15.50!

I went to that. Went in pissed, came out sober! And no-one could get close to the stage, unless you fancy a swim in stagnant water

It's scandalous but I can't judge them. When you're young you tend to stick to the popular acts of that time and everything else, including the foundations of that particular genre, is rubbish. As you get older your ear becomes more sophisticated and you respect the roots much more. I'm sure if I looked back on some of my musical opinions in my late teens I'd cringe beyond belief. That said, not even knowing who the Chemical Brothers are is insane. 

On reflection, some of my mid to late teens taste was awful, so I will withhold judgement.

Just scrolled through some of those Twitter replies.....some right childish idiotic replies there.

I think it’s the way they all say “delete” like it should be something the festival is ashamed of booking. They’re a regular rebooking and for good reason.

Favourite response is the guy describing them as "My Chemcial Romance wannabes" 😄

I was there also.  I didn't remember the lack of alcohol must admit, which given how much I used to drink at gigs back in those days is quite surprising, as would have thought I would have been very upset.  Still a brilliant line up though  (Cud, supporting the Pixies, didn't see that one coming)

People like Connor don't deserve the Chems. They deserve Calvin Harris.

Ditto. Some incredible lineups in the past, like this one.

What they've announced doesn't begin to compare for my tastes.

Also weird how they were muscled out by APE and it's APE that's letting them back in.

APE has corporate backing, ( Goldenvoice/ AEG) I assume Field Day does not. so it might came down to money and logistics help. It does seem strange that they handled their transition very badly and upset so many people by pulling the rug out.

[nikkic]

So after Field Day has been moved, I need a festival to go to early July.

What’s everybody got in the diary?

I’m reading the comments and I’m actually gobsmacked that people going to creamfields don’t know who chemical brothers are, wtf. 

[xxialac]

Their last album was #4.

Their album before that was #1

It's not like bands who enjoyed all their commercial success 25 years ago...

Yeh that part got me too!

[Suprefan]

Im sure if Skrillex was on the line up they would say he was the most superior all time great dj ever and should headline over anyone else including Calvin Harris.

 

Itll also be exciting when some of those kids check out the Chems show and end up being blown away, then turn around and say they never trashed em 6 months prior.

Am happy to give you a hand if ya like. Trying to do my good deed of the month

There's a few of us on it so I reckon we should be OK, thanks bud.  I don't think they'll have a holding page or anything so there's a big old risk of duplicate tickets if we're not careful!!

[guypjfreak]

It's probably been said before but in these times it can't be said enough Beautiful days.. Great news 

[ChemicalBrother]

Just catching up on this thread - yes I will be buying Beautiful Days tickets tomorrow & no I won’t be inviting Connor...

[Crazyfool01]

Tickets pending I can def see an efest meet at Beautiful days 🙂 

[ModernMan]

what's the kind of vibe at Beautiful Days?

[gooner1990]

Seems like a few of us going for Beautiful Days tickets tomorrow! 
 

Best of luck everyone!

Date doesn’t suit unfortunately as it’s a bit close to when we have already a break , fingers crossed, already booked    .  If that gets cancelled I had thought about BD but looks like it will sell out.  Of course if something happens near Glastonbury, that’s a different story!
