I've got a feeling he'll be there, I know about the 6 month in Canada thing, but the dates, if taken from the time he travelled, and if all goes well, are very close to lining up. 

Obviously I hope he doesn't rush anything, and that the treatment goes well... But I've just got 'a feeling.' 

Probably has to be John Peel, but I expect it will be very very busy.

I hear about him all over social media, he went viral a few weeks ago with Hi Ren. All over tiktok and other playforms. 

There’s a million and one reaction videos on Youtube. 

He was also in the charts recently, as an independent. 

Around 2 weeks ago my (guitar playing / obsessed and rap hating) friend came to me and said he’d found this guy who raps and plays guitar, and that he actually liked him, went to play it, and it was Ren.

I hope he plays! I heard Hi Ren a couple Of weeks ago and loved it but really fell down the YouTube rabbit hole yesterday watching his stuff and I’m so impressed. Donated to his medical bills and keeping fingers crossed things will improve for him in time 🤞

I think this is such a bad barometer for scale. 'My friends don't talk about him...so?' 

His 'Hi Ren' Video has 4.2 Million views, in a month, as an independent. The bittersweet sympathy retake has 230k in a day. People are talking about him, people are listening. Just not in your circle and that's okay.

Mentioned him to my Nephew the other day, saying he should listen. Turns out that he went to Uni with him and did a few sessions in the studio together. Says what a lovely chap he is, but obviously troubled, which I will not go into here. Hope he gets the treatment he needs and that it helps him. Will certainly catch him when he does play

    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
    • No complaints about the sound. We were like 2nd set of steps facing stage right in like the middle row.
    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
