The problem with the likes of Empire of the Sun and Justice is that it needs to be dark for the show, so you can't have them on the main stage in an afternoon or early evening spot, but  if you put them on as headliners many people would complain that they are not big enough for that.

what about 22:45?

So I might be in the minority here,but I have nothing bad to say so far. Expect the fact that the bars are slowww slow,at least the couple we went to. The one on the left side of main stage was awful,not even long queues just f**king slow staff,having to explain what’s a Pilsner.

Absolutely. We went to grab a beer at Revolut and we just couldn't get one. It was only 2-3 people ahead of us, but then they closed so we stood at the queue then had to go to the end of another one, then another one... so we just went to somewhere near the main stage, got a beer instantly.

 

Btw this might be obvious, but places like Finlandia (?) etc. next to the main stage do have beer, they seem to have everything. But queues seemed shorter, possibly because people thought they're only selling vodka related stuff..?

Have to say Nelly Furtado was excellent.

Agreed, I must've said "Oh yeah, I forgot she did this" at least 5 times!

 

Hadn't planned to watch Shawn but have done. Can't say I'd want to do it again.

 

Loved The Beaches, and think we're now going to set up camp in Revolut, ready for Justice. Seriously think it could be standing on shoulders room only!

The ventilation is definitely better in the new tent. I remember humidity and the lack of oxygen being a problem in the old one.

 

I was right at the front for Justice and they were incredible. Was the tent packed? Couldn't really tell from my spot.

We had to leave after 45 mins - long story - and we were on the centre barrier. The crowd was really tightly packed in for the whole footprint of the tent, but once outside there weren't many people watching/listening outside the tent.

 

That might've been because the night felt quite chilly though.

I want to thank people for talking about justice so much. If not this forum I probably would have not waited. ( I thought it's just some DJs playing music). But that show was incredible. So yeah. Thank you guys!!! Is there any more DJs with alot of lasers simmilar to that?

Thank you. 

After this I will probably never have enough lasers at any show.

Is it just me, or were The Kooks lowkey boring?

Its the kooks, they've never been exciting. 

I enjoyed them, but their whole vibe is “chilled out singalong” so I’m not surprised that some find that boring

Good shout.

 

I think Pogany were so good and put on a great energetic show. 

 

Hungarian acts are in my top shows so far. Noga Erez was also very good.

I hope you saw Caribou yesterday. Not so many lasers, but as always great light show and live electronic music.

I doubt anyone will beat the performance of FKA Twigs, awesome. 

Saw the same show in May, so I knew what to expect, but still it was one of the best performances I've seen this week. Sevdaliza and Deva were great as well.

Wonen are killing this week.

 

Whilst the mens best efforts are the kooks and Blossoms. 😃

This comment sums it up.

Noga Erez just gained a fan, I didn't know what to expect but she was brilliant. 

 

I also loved how foreigners were vibeing for Pogány, everyone loved him. For mainstream Hungarian rap, I'd normally prefer Beton.Hofi, but Pogány is amazing live. Hofi was so meh. ((For my fellow Hungarians: my mate said Hofi next to Pogány looks like DéNash next to Krúbi. So true, unfortunately.))

 

How did you all like Krúbi?

+ any positive surprises, like Noga Erez for me?

 

Also, I complained about the new set up but my bad, I really like Szoho and how easy it is to jump from one place to the other between Dropyard, Buzz and Revolut. Moving Dropyard was a great idea, it belongs to this part of the island.

    • 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.
