James_0113 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Struggling to know where to start with Nick Cave's music, is the setlist likely to be similar to his festival shows in 2018 with songs from Ghosteen added? Or am I better off looking at his recent US tour with Warren Ellis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very pleased they're still heading out. It would have been very understandable if not, but I love their music and they're among my most anticipated acts of the first weekend. Also hoping to get Map-Gate out of the way tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just really hope they play Jubilee Street live. Just unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible, though unlikely, that the map news is surprisingly…positive. It wasn’t clear what kind of shock is coming our way. I’m ready for whatever comes. When the lineup is this good, for me there’s already a lot of goodwill in the bank. Edited May 16, 2022 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't think of what changes could be included on the map that would elicit any sort of massive response, unless something like the former Ray Ban stage has just sunk into the sea.

It sounded like a *major* expansion of the site, which must be in the direction of Bits surely, as there's no space on the other side (though come to think of it, I don't think there's any extra space on the Bits side either!)

We took it to just mean a greater differentiation between A La Ciutat and the main event, but the expansion makes more sense. And without wanting to go back over old ground, do we have enough acts announced to fill out extra stages if it is a major expansion? Or are we thinking that it's going to mean more space for existing stages for the bigger crowds, so no extra acts needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a tonne of new acts at this stage so presumably just more space to copy with the extra numbers. My calculations are only 10% more people so it doesn't sound unmanageable.

Not really made for festival stuff. And surely Jubilee Street is more or less a live staple of theirs these days, or at least I hope so. Big live favourite when I saw them last.

They made a lot of clashes less painful in the past as no one else was taking them and they allowed for a quick transfer, but it does make sense to prioritise people with reduced mobility.

Fnmentaluk Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) So what's the capacity now then , must be nudging 90k , There's still room on the bits area for a big stage if they go right to the end of the beach.

Whos3000_ Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) It is understandable that a replacement has not been found. That money, however, should have gone into mid/high-tier acts to fill the gap (and I can't believe there is a lack of them) as it was done for the smile for wk2, but not for wk1. So yes, I don't care for ciutat or their email of excuses and it is definitely legit to be very disappointed. Just think that for people with the full ticket for both the weekends, it's like two very big headliners dropped! I mean, you have more than how many...100,200 bands in the line up? do something! Just make someone medium/big play twice I don't know! Moreover, basically every year one of the most hyped names drops out. I don't see this happening this regularly at the other festivals... maybe I should really start to buy the tickets taking into account that I won't see my favourite name Edited May 16, 2022 by Whos3000_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to cancel the Ghosteen tour because of covid so that Bad Seeds album has never had a proper tour (appreciate it sounds like more of a Cave and Ellis collab but it is technically the Seeds). He seems to love performing that stuff based on the film and the Carnage tour. I don't think we will get much if any Carnage (which I prefer) but would love it if we did! That said for festival sets they always play a load of classics. Tupelo, Eternity, Mercy Seat, Deanna etc. Either way it will be glorious although I can't quite trust they are playing until I see the schedule now.

No way Ellis would put that up if they're not playing. Covid (of course) would be the only reason they would pull out I'd say.

thespiral Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) The Access App and Dice ticket fandango is still giving me a headache. Each time I have looked at either app they seem to have added or removed different options .... Access App now doesn't have the 'claim tickets from Dice ' button ...it was there the other day, the Dice App now says Activate ticket, and added grief as I have 2 original W1 tickets, and 2 x Discount W1 tickets ...which for some reason you can't send to a friend. Have tried removing / reinstalling AccessApp. Right now the instructions do not match what I am seeing and really are not clear. Do I need to Activate the Dice tickets first ?? Honest to god, losing the will to live with this 😆I just know it is going to go tits up Edited May 16, 2022 by thespiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on a WhatsApp group for meeting, announcements and general tips and stuff for the festival? I'm happy to get it set up. I'm a newbie to Primavera so it'd be good to communicate with some others about the festival. Thoughts? If interested drop me a DM and if we get a few of us I'm happy to set a group up. Hey, id be up for joining the group. Im travelling solo from Blighty so it would be good to meet up with other peeps that are going or even join the group for general tips. I will drop you a message when I get a chance 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
