The wide availability of resale for most festivals makes getting them on day one a masochistic experience. A fair point, unless you are trying to also get children tickets - which don't go back on-sale with the same regularity or the specific combination you might need.

Pretty sure they came back on sale on the GM website a week or two before the festival this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep a close eye on Fanticks once the line-up is announced, create an alert to notify you when tickets pop up. My mate bought 2 adult and 2 little folk about a month before the event.

Last time we needed one of under 2s after we bought ours and as they're free, they obviously never went back on for resale (who would resell a free ticket) - had to buy a kids one in the end just to take our under 1 year old.

mario man Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I managed to get a Little Folk 6-12 ticket about 2 weeks before the 2022 festival. I need two of them for next year, having missed out on Saturday. My youngest two kids are really keen to come along. Keeping the faith and I’ll be setting up alerts on both Fanticks and Twickets! 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwoo Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I’ve been to Greenman twice before without the baby in tow and loved it. We’ll be taking our little baby girl next year, she’ll be around 11 months old. Any tips from parents? Love the festival and looking forward to it even if it is hard to see how it’ll be possible right now 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great… probably easier before they start walking though tbh. You can just strap them to you 😂. Keep them topped up on milk and snacks. Get them used to ear defenders beforehand. We hired a trolley, but lot of people seems to take buggies (with big chunky wheels) which I think is easier; takes up less room, easier to get around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to see who pulls out first. What that excellent prediction is missing is a couple of notable reformed bands or at least some like Les Savy Fav who don't play the UK often, though obviously we might not know who those could be yet. We should get an idea when the bulk of the European festivals start announcing in December/January (I was about to put forward the Breeders as an example but their Olivia Rodrigo (!) US arena supports are over GM weekend, although I see they're doing some US dates with Belly later this month who'd do just as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddRon Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'd love The Smile, didn't manage to get to any of their dates but I reckon they cost a fortune to book, do we know of any independent festivals that are a similar size to Green Man that have managed to get them to play? With the Walkmen booked this year, I'm hoping there might be potential for Interpol at some point, they headlined a smaller UK festival earlier this year and I could see them doing a great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomsForPizza Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Would bite your hand off for that lineup. OPN would be a great booking for an after dark set. Bill R-J also a good shout seeing as he has a new album out next year and is touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be early to return as headliner, but also Gunnersbury Park gigs are Festival Republic events so there'd most likely be an exclusivity clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddRon Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Idles have a new album out in February, I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but it'll have been 4 years since they headlined the far out stage, could see them headlining the main stage now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
