I have no idea why I'm desperate to watch ..I've come to terms to losing as we always do ....

 

As a Saints fan so have I to be fair. Outplayed you twice this season so will definitely lose when it matters.

[foolee]

As a Leeds fan I’ve been to two play off finals and lost both times so I’m seeing it as a good omen if I just don’t watch and miss it. If I watch it, we lose and I miss bands in the process I’ll be pissed and it’ll probably ruin my day a bit so might just give the game a swerve, hope for the best, look for the result and celebrate into the night/Leeds city centre into the early hours. 
 

On the Slam Dunk hype train now with only 2 days left at work. What’s everyone’s schedules looking like? Going to both days and think I’m going to try catch the following.

 

Hatfield: Beauty School or As Everything Unfolds (if anyone can recommend either of these live or in general that’d help as I don’t know either but both sound alright on a limited listen) > Arms Length > End of Big D & The Kids Table > The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus > Head Automatica > One Step Closer > We The Kings > The Blackout > State Champs > L.S Dunes or Boys Like Girls > The All American Rejects > You Me At Six

 

Leeds: Bob Vylan > Against The Current > Pale Waves > Palaye Royale > End of Funeral for a Friend > I Prevail > Hot Milk DJ Set

I'm a big fan of both. Seen them each about 5 times. AEU are really strong live and I'd recommend seeing them if you don't know either. I'll be at Beauty School though as they are back to back with Arm's Length and I love an emo sing a long.

Seen Leeds lose twice, Shrewsbury my second/home team 4 times and adopted Solihull as my local team last year ...2 times again inside a week

 

The curse has to be broken 

[WillSLeedsFVet]

Anyone on site early at North/south or North for Live at Leeds got the Drinks Menu's?

[Rusty Spoon]

Seems to be an anonymous seller with unlimited tickets for SD at £65 on Tixel. Wouldn't be surprised if this is SD themselves sneakily punting half price tickets to try boost attendance numbers.

You seem to be right.

 

Has slam dunk ever had to give away or mass reduce the price of tickets before? Because I can't recall them ever doing so. Usually you get the announcement that the south site sells out within the last week or two

[sheffinghell]

A bit soggy up at Temple Newsam tonight. You're probably going to need boots or wellies if it doesn't ease up over night.

[Rusty Spoon]

South was absolutely superb yesterday. Got in and out of parking with zero hassle, the layout was also much better. Definitely felt emptier than last year but that was to be expected. So many singalongs to songs I'd forgotten about.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

They've closed the car parks at Leeds today due to weather so there will be a free shuttle bus from Leeds City centre and passes will be refunded. No doubt they'll get pelters for this but it can't really be avoided 

[zahidf]

Bob Vylan dropped from the line up for today

That seems fair, although logistical nightmare. I left mid-headline last night and it was getting pretty treacherous getting out of the car park

Any insight into what’s happened with Bob Vylan?

Apparently got in a tangle after his set with production staff (also Pale Waves mentioned to be involved), he ran over time by like 5 mins

Who mentioned Pale Waves? Only person I see claiming Pale Waves were involved is that Rob Kellas from TPD TV who is a notorious wind up merchant that looks to bait people with nonsense.

He was the first person to mention it yesterday (so he must have known something happened) and has since taken it down, we'll probably never know

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

And Rob will have likely had backstage access so may have witnessed it

Sounds like he did, and was told to remove the tweet

[thatTFBguy]

I'd be more willing to bet he was chatting bollocks and was told to remove it because somebody wasn't happy his attempt at "bait" was being taken seriously. He's done this before. 

[northernangel]

I can confirm Slam Dunk North compared to South is a no go from this point on. Site was alone, Hatfield is just miles better. Ended up getting a ticket late on much cheaper and heading up.
