BBC Coverage 2024/Watching From Home

So, now all the tickets have gone, who's gonna be watching from home? I'm already planning on buying a couple of six packs of Brooklyn Pilsner and catching up/flicking through the stages live. Might even treat myself to a rum-shake if the weather perks up a bit 😅

 

Couple of years ago, there were quite a few people chatting and watching together through eFests. Wasn't quite the same to put it lightly, but good fun if you're not too gutted about missing out. Also, it's enjoyable to be able to flick through the stages if something brilliant is happening and you don't have to traipse through mud to check something out.

This will be my first time there after years of watching on TV. We have a great set up outside in the garden, and we've had some great weekends with friends coming and going every day. In a way I'll slightly miss it!

You won’t miss it when you’re there! 
Congrats to those of you who got lucky! 
 

If you didn’t and you still want to go, then follow this thread for the final last chance saloon!

I've  booked a week on South Uist with our 2 wee dogs from 22nd - 29th June having failed to get a ticket 🙂 Can't think of a better place to be if I can't be there, I'll have listen on the radio  and I'll catch up on the sets I'd like see when I get home.

Does anyone else go to the festival, watch loads of iPlayer stuff after, then get mixed up with what they actually saw in real life? My brain is mush.

 

When I watch things back I can feel the air on my arms, and practically smell it.

 

Although watching Kylie do her set on the tele enough is now making me forget my own experience.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
