I've started wearing Loops to quite a few gigs now, mainly indoor and / or when I know it's going to be loud ... I took them to the festival this year for the first time and found as an added bonus they completely cut out all the chatter.  It stopped me getting so annoyed at some of the people around me anyway.

Same. Have them on a chain round my neck at Glastonbury and come in handy at many stages

I just wear earplugs all day. If i can clearly here you talk over an act Im watching then theres an issue. But I bet the audience shift this year greatly contributed to it being worse for you that went. And I mean if the pa's were simply louder than you wouldnt have as many issues I would imagine. I dont know how I could bear to listen to an act up on the hill in the Park cause theres likely loads of talkers. Just would feel like a picnic

Some c**ts at the start Heilung wouldn't shut their traps... we did all shush them eventually. They were likely there waiting for Jungle, but what the f**k.

 

Worst thing you can do is stew in your own head about it. Confront them right away and/or move elsewhere.

Agree with confronting. I told 2 loud yappers to shut up during Black Country New Road last night. They snapped at me and then walked off, only returning before Nick came on and were silent throughout

talkers suck - I tend to say something too.  
i find it worse at gigs that are free in.  here in nyc, there are a ton of free gigs in central park and prospect park during the summer, and I think folks just figure that if they haven't paid in, then somehow their actions don't matter as much.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
