It's not like its going to be compulsory attendance at either the G or TRNSMT.  Folk who're actually enthusiastic about genocide will probably choose to stay away out of their own free will.  Anyone who does attempt a provocation will just be ignored.

I think people who are extremist on whatever pole or flag they pin themselves to (its naive to think only one "team" has extremists), will absolutely turn up for it.

I can't tell if this is genuine fear or just fear-mongering.

It will be fine, like every other Kneecap gig.

.. and that doesnt include the possibility someone wanders in with a Israeli flag or even an IDF logo flag just to stir sh*t up.

I don’t know what sort of mad fantasies you are having about the Glastonbury crowd but nothing that you are imagining will happen (and then getting worried and annoyed about happening even though it hasn’t happened or won’t happen), will happen.

Genuine concern.  Other kneecap gigs pre-dated the hezbolla flag press, and was a more self-selecting audience.

Well then, as you say, best to avoid the area if it puts your mind at ease.

But I will say the Glastonbury ticket sale also pre-dates all the Hezbollah stuff, so if you're concerned about terrorist sympathisers at Glasto, there's probably bigger worries than the Kneecap gig.

and pray for rain.

Really not sure what you're envisaging happening here. They'll play. It will be busy, that's it.

kind of puts to bed the whole they do not support Hezbollah thing though...unless it's just more of that Irish satire and humour of course.

Ah, casual Irish xenophobia, 1970s style. Good one.

 

How does it put it to bed? This has been news for about a month. But yes they don’t support Hezbollah, and yes it was “more of that Irish satire”. As you know. Any questions give me a shout.

I think he's referring to my post before, looks like he's read a few of the words in it

Raising the flag that someone threw on stage one time does not mean they support Hezbollah. Tbh if I saw that I'd think it was a picture of a tow truck, I'm not that up to speed on my terror group logos these days though.

 

Surely the point they've laboured by now (that they dont support Hamas/Hezbollah) has got through? This wilful misrepresenting of them is part of why it's so hard to take the claims seriously

Ah yes, the classic act of catching a flag thrown on stage and instantly adopting the entire ideology it represents. Timeless stuff.

But sure, let’s keep the “Kneecap supports terrorism” loop running - way easier than actually engaging with what drove their anger: the ethnic cleansing unfolding in Gaza. Right?

I get all that...but the evidence is there with this don't support hezbollah/hamas thing...I mean the bloke in the balaclava posted a picture oh himself reading some hezbollah bloke, they've chanted up hamas or whatever, and he picked up this flag and paraded it.

But ok, it's all a joke or something.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
