Considering Sabrina Carpenters music isn't for a load of young girls apparently, there is a lot of them in the BST recorded footage along with parents with some too.

The crowd coming through the VIP entrance were younger than general admission, which may partly explain why Gold Circle looked young on the footage maybe, and those kids will have ensured they were near to the front of GC as well. It was a bit more mixed further back in GC and general.

 

As well as forking out for the Gold Circle, it was odd seeing how many parents were happy to buy the 69 merch for their primary school kids.

Sabrina was a blast last night. That damn rainstorm in the day was biblical though, led to a lot of merch sales at the already busy stores I'm sure.

 

She's a soon to be Glastonbury headliner no doubt.

Because its primary school kids that like Sabrina. It's very massively obvious that like with Olivia she has a very young fan base with many older adults needing to buy a ticket to take them. What example she sets to 12 year olds with on stage antics is another story.

Does anyone know what time they pull tickets from the twickets and axs resale? Trying to shift two tickets for tomorrow and having no luck, even with £50 off asking price.

 

Twickets I believe is either an hour before or when doors open. AXS not 100% sure I'm afraid.

Would suggest selling them individually and “accepting offers”. Someone might stick a low offer in but it’s better than nothing.

Unfortunately Jeff Lynne doesn't seem to be in the best of health at the moment. Cancelled Manchester tonight and apparently really struggled last night. Not looking great for Sunday.

Yes just read about this- really sad for his last tour.  Something about a hand injury and must be more than that surely?

wondering if BST concert could be cancelled at this stage.  Like many others we are seeing Stevie on Saturday and ELO Sunday and have hotel booked for the weekend…

I’m thinking he won’t perform and that’s such a shame

From what I've read he broke his hand in a car accident. Jeff only mentioned this as it's obviously noticeable that he isn't playing guitar.

Without wishing to speculate, he may have sustained other less obvious injuries in the incident. At his age recovery is generally a slower process. He may well be requiring painkillers that slow you down.

Obviously the main thing is that Jeff is fine. From a selfish point of view it would probably be best if the show was postponed. Nobody wants Jeff's last show to be a struggle for him. Although given it's a festival this may be complicated from a contractual/logistical point of view.

I’m sure everyone wishes him all the best - really bad luck for them as they’ll have put so much into these important last concerts.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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...
