Just back from Murrayfield and that was absolutely incredible.

 

She was absolutely brilliant but the crowd absolutely made the whole show. Have never heard a crowd like that at anything in my life before. Wore earplugs and I've still got a slight ringing in them just now.

 

The Bolter/Getaway Car mashup was phenomenal.

 

Visually stunning, dancers and set design were great. 10/10, lived up to the hype and then some.

The crowd is in another level

Probably one of the best gigs I’ve ever witnessed 


Having slept on it I stand by this statement. The production was superb, she’s got star quality like very few people and the crowd was amazing. Never been to a stadium gig before where the entire place stood 5 minutes before the show began and stayed stood throughout.

There was a moment after Champagne Problems when she seemed genuinely staggered by the volume of the bedlam. 


That was about 3 minutes of solid noise

Why would you need to sleep on it to stand by it?, it doesn't need justifying. It's not a show people didn't expect to be great or were likely to slate.

finishes at 5, her recent set times have her on stage at 8. 
 

3 hours to down a cider, get Air swift over to Dublin and a costume change if you ask me.

She comes on at 7 or 7:15 to have it done by half 10. Its just not happening this year

Because I wanted to see if it was a snap judgement or not? To see if my opinion changed once the adrenaline wore off?

Well the fact that she announced 3 shows in 3 nights for Dublin over Glastonbury weekend meant it was at best a 0.005% chance.

Yep, she's doing 3 hours plus on consecutive nights and clearly she doesn't phone it in. There's no way she's adding side trips into the mix.

Got in last minute last night. Some show.

 

Real shame Covid curtailed her playing the farm.

How did you manage this if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah I'm interested in that too, assume you paid some big money? I've been looking at Edinburgh to get an idea of what Liverpool might be like next week, and it looks like £500+ even on the day

Apparently they released a chunk of restricted view seats at 2 yesterday afternoon.

Yes, things can definitely change in retrospect. There are some gigs that are great at the time but forgettable, then others that just linger with you.

Yeah it's invite only or whatever so only to certain accounts.

 

They defo released some of all types of tickets on the friday for the show that night

Interesting. Was this Ticketmaster do you know? If so I assume this was for anyone who was eligible for the original sales. Will keep an eye out on the Liverpool days! Would pay a normal price or would take a restricted view also to be there

I think TM but unsure. Also some went up today for today's show. Probs some restricted view but also a few standing ones. I was front left standing on Friday and it was pretty spacious and not busy at the back.

 

I tried to join the queue on TM earlier out of curiosity but it said your account is not eligible or whatever. I think cause i originally had presale I never was fussed about signing up for the actual sales back last summer.

It was a bit unorthodox to be honest haha

 

Can't say anymore but I didn't pay 👀 @LockdownP

Second night in Edinburgh here. Coach up from Carlisle was surprisingly sedate, and took what felt like a curious route, but can't complain if it gets you there in one piece.

 

Having seen Beyonce in Sunderland last year, feel the production elements on this aren't quite as audacious, but it's a close-run thing. Swift, for all her foibles, absolutely has both star power in the show sense and live grit in the gig sense, if that kind of sums it up, and definitely comes out on top if we're drawing comparisons. (Helped immensely by a setlist like that too.) Top five gig of the year, easily.

 

Kudos to Paramore for playing Burning Down the House to a crowd that were absolutely dead for it in the rafters, but not much beyond that. Was sadly underwhelmed; Williams had some terrific moments, and some noticeable flubs. Hope others enjoyed more than me!

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
