2027 Headliners

I think the festival should actively try to not sell out and become less popular, ultimately leading to its demise. Sounds a good idea!

Or maybe down size to a sensible footprint and sensible number of people and stop trying to be all things to all people.

They need to book headliners with a certain amount of popularity or you end up with situations like Charli XCX v Neil Young which we can all agree was a misjudgement regardless of personal taste. 

 

Both are quality headliners, the booking was fine, the placement was not. But this is a special case, NY was for Michael

Why is is so hard to enjoy the bits of the festival you enjoy and leave the rest be? Everything needs to go which you don’t like? Your arrogance is astounding.

That’s exactly what I do, haven’t been to Acoustic since 1985, it’s a very long time since I’ve been to Avalon or Woodsies. 
 

Interesting thing I noticed this year. Somehow I’ve developed an excellent visual filter while at the festival.

Yeah I mean instead of droning on about areas/ bookings you don't like/ go to on here?

Ignore button is available . 

 

The ignore button doesn't work - I added a user to it a few days back at moderator's request yet I'm still seeing that users posts sadly. Maybe check it works before directing us to use it?

Two IIRC

Not sure what you mean?  I'm saying McCartney playing in 2004 seemed like that would be it and he'd never play it again, he'd done it. But he eventually did play again after enough time had passed.  Springsteen could end up being similar, coming back to headline just because it's been ages.  McCartney has played twice now, so wasn't a one and done.

Yeah misunderstood due to not reading back far enough.

Oasis won’t accept a headlining offer in 2027 if Fontaines.D.C. is another Pyramid headliner on the same weekend.

The Gallaghers were pretty pissed off when Fontaines turned down a support for the reunion shows.

 

One or the other if anything materialises.

 

Bollocks.

Highly doubt Fontaines were asked when they ended up with Cast & Richard Ashcroft- clearly wasn't the vibe they were going for.

    • 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.
