The days either sell out like the strokes or end up with £5 tickets, not much inbetween.

I wonder if them moving it to the end of August has impacted their ticket sales too? From memory The Strokes, Chemical Brothers and LCD were back when they did it in May.

More people on holiday in August and various other weekend festivals going on too with an overlapping audience

The rising ticket price fake-demand pyramid scheme is finally over. ten years ago you could very easily get into gigs by just being organised enough to sign up for presale.   Nowadays -

That was definitely a one-off though: they put everything on sale at peak vaccine optimism so people were fucking gagging for a summer festival vibes. It was a great business move as the headliners would never sell a festival out normally (Foals, Jorja Smith, Jamie XX), but they timed it perfectly in terms of people actually having a surplus of cash to spend on something in the summer.

They definitely should have kept it to May/June and shared acts with all the EU festivals around then rather than keeping it in August which is just too busy now, and too expensive for outsiders.

I'm sure it originally was in August though? Or am I making that up?

Yeah it's always been May/June – they shared acts that hop over for Best Kept Secret, We Love Green, Primavera.

They shifted later to August last year because it seemed like a "safe bet" in terms of covid allowing it to happen (which it did, in fairness), but they should have kept that as a one off given there's not really any competition late spring/early summer in the UK.

241 at south facing (the Crystal Palace gigs with London Grammer, Bombay etc.)

Sadly Jungle isn’t on the page - the one I’d have bitten on.

All Points East competition for 4 VIP tickets for 28 August:

Went VIP one year and all it gave me was access to some dead area with a bar and a couple of food stalls. It was behind the stage so you couldn't even watch the acts from there. Still if it's free who can complain

Yeah I probably wouldn't even use the VIP area, it's really just for the free tickets and merchandise tbh.

      I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
