Second this 👆 I did Friday and Saturday of Mad Cool this year for the first time. Great fun. QOTSA were brilliant. RHCP were good. Liam was quality. Flow of poeple inside was a bit mental between acts, no real organisation. And the walk from the metro station was looooong. Disn't start until 6pm each day, which was good because the weather was mentally hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son is planning to get a resale ticket cheap again, closer to the date. I won't have the nerve and will pay full price early in the new year 😳😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will evolve but one thing is for sure - the line up will be amazing - it always is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Foot passenger on the ferry is way cheaper. There's also the hovercraft. A bit more hassle island side, but there's buses from Ryde down to Newport fairly regularly, and even a taxi would be cheaper than getting a car over, but taxis are tough to find on fest weekend.

foolee Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Do they usually add day tickets at a later date? Doesn’t look like they’re selling them at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been offered in the past, given I considered doing it for Muse 2 years ago and I know people who've done it for The Killers in the past, but clearly I incorrectly thought they were on sale. Must be up for sale later on down the line, as @gfa said in the post above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I guess tbf there's also the question of where on the mainland do I park my vehicle. Though presumably a big city like Southampton or Portsmouth has 24-hour parking garages available.

Makes me wonder if they’re gonna bother with day tickets for next year. I hope so as I really fancy that Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Tennant has guested live with Suede, including doing vocals on a version of Rent that ended up as a Suede B-side. I imagine they’d probably have fancied watching one another’s sets from the side of the stage too - they’re huge fans of one another’s work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMP Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Lineup for this looks great. It’s such a dilemma — I’ve booked my hotel for the week before at Download, but feel so tempted to just cancel that and go IoW. They could do with adding a few more upcoming bands though. Though The K’s are a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though The K’s are a good choice. I'm not sure if you've been before but future additions will be a lot more upcoming than established. There are a decent amount of smaller stages that have bands on the rise (and a couple that are mainly cover bands/genre DJs). All of the acts announced so far are on the top 2 of around 10 live stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
