What exactly makes twee 90s Irish folk/sh*t pop hybrid The Corrs a perfect fit to support one of the greatest musical talents of all time?

Easy. The likelihood that 90% of people who are buying tickets also own one of their albums.

No - if the dates posted are accurate, then BST pans out like this:

Fri 28 June - Stevie Wonder
Sat 29 June - SZA
Sun 30 June - Kings of Leon

Fri 5 July - Andrea Bocelli
Sat 6 July - Robbie Williams
Sun 7 July - Shania Twain

Fri 12 July - Stevie Nicks
Sun 14 July - Stray Kids

Plus one other, presumably (but not necessarily) on the 13th.

These dates are correct so far

I was looking at volunteering at this, cos at the end of your shift you can head into the golden circle nonsense and get a decent view for essentially a free gig. But the only one i'd even think about seeing would be Stevie Nicks, its significantly slim pickings otherwise (Stevie Wonder apart obvs, who i've already seen a couple of times)

Does anyone have any knowledge about presales v general in terms of ticket release? I have some Stray Kids presale general entry but I really want gold circle. Last year same thing with Bruce and so when I eventually got some gold circle I resold my general. But Bruce is easy to resell. Stray Kids will be tough I imagine. Do they have vastly more gold circle during general sale?

what a dire line up this year. Are BST targeting people - especially mums and daughters - who don't much like music but like the idea of going to a 'festival'?

'I don't like it so it's not music' is certainly a take.

She's just off the back of a successful UK arena tour last year, I'd be surprised if this didn't sell well which is the ultimate aim of any music business.

Corporate hospitality. Plus large section of the general public who only do live music one or twice a year, but spend big when they do.

If the earlier leak is true, we’ve still got Stevie Wonder, SZA, Kings of Leon, and Stevie Nicks to be announced, as well as a possible fifth currently unknown act, so the act being announced next Friday could be any of those.

Trying to read between the lines on the wording (and so maybe reading too much in to it), I think the implication here is that the act being announced on Friday next week will be the one act we don't yet know.

f**k sake, I completely missed that this was the person with the info I was replying to. Yeah, this is obviously what’s happening, ignore my idiot self.

Do we play the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme for this being near-immediately followed by the revelation that's what's going on?

The final act being announced next Friday apparently

If that list is right and Kings of Leon are doing this, rumour on their fan Reddit is that they're releasing a new single in 2 or 3 weeks time. So it could well be any announcement of them doing this and any other shows is being held back until then.

Don't get to go into golden circle... i volunteered for Bruce last year, tried to blag my way in, got turned away, but then pegged it in behind security guard's back when they were checking others wristbands.

    • Would you decide to go once more I recommend to queu up at the ‘official’ freenow taxi line ( 5 min walk from the main gate). It might take 15 min or so but they are not ripping you off. Even at 3 or 4 in the night it costed us about 25eur to the city center. 
    • How do you mean? Better as a hotel/ festival combo?   I've done rock am ring at both sites.....unpopular opinion I much preferred the mending site and really didn't like the long and narrow main stage at RaR.
    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
