Linkin Park?

Just listening to the album, I like it overall. 

 

Emptiness Machine is defo the standout track.

 

The only track I would find myself actively skipping would be Casualty I think. Not overly fussed by Overflow or IGYEIH. 

 

Outwith Emptiness Machine I think my next faves would be Over Each Other and Heavy is the Crown.

 

I think 3.5/5 is a fair score.

The Emptyness Machine I actually would like to hear and it's by far the best song on the album.

 

After a quick glance of their recent setlists it's pretty nice, heavy on the first three albums. There will probably be a couple more tracks from the new album now, but in general I think they know what the fans want and are happy to oblige. A shorter, trimmed set (as in shorter than 28ish songs they tend to do on their own shows) would go down a storm I think.

 

I am seriously contemplating seeing them on the tour tbf. If I don't get Glasto tickets I might do Werchter tho.

Yeah I’m getting london tickets if I fail for Glasto next year. JPEGMAFIA is my most streamed artist ever so him being there just sweetens the deal.

It'll be Werchter for me to get Olivia and Green Day too. It might even be if I do get Glastonbury

I would love to see them there. I think they're in that horrible grey zone of being too big for the Other but risk not 'being the right fit' for the Pyramid. They'd make a killer booking as an Other headliner against someone like Olivia Rodrigo on Pyramid (caveat that I think they're worth a lot more than that spot!)

What is “the right fit” for the Pyramid, considering that over the decades we’ve had every conceivable type of act headline?

I should have expanded on what I meant - I think they'd be great in a Pyramid slot, personally! But I just mean that in recent years, and perhaps last year was a crude example of this, people wanted (or seemed to want) the huge pop acts who had been booked to on Pyramid (see: Avril on Other). I always think to be solid for the Pyramid you need at least 5 songs that people in crowd know fairly well - i.e. be commercially successful act and a leader in the genre. Again, no reason why I don't think that they would be a bad fit, just offering a POV different to the one that even I hold.

Sooo I got those golden tickets this morning, which means I do have a pre sale code spare... If there's any genuine fans, that didn't get glasto tickets, and wants the code, message me. 

Had it been 10 years ago I'd have snapped it but it think we're going to so Werchter in the end now and tick off LP, Olivia and GD again

To echo comments in the other chat, not this year - but Linkin Park definitely a Pyramid headliner or bust if they shift those dates they've got plotted for next summer in my book.

 

Setlist could still do with a few tweaks, mind you.

 

It would have made me laugh if Glastonbury was on in 26 to grab them from Download.

Download surely will be throwing everything at them next year. Coping can suggest they're another "new" headliner given the changes, if he wants to.

 

Would be shocked if 2026 didn't have Iron Maiden back though, but really depends on the route they choose for the second leg of the Run for Your Lives Tour.

Saw a thing on Reddit of the Wembley ticket prices was all over £100 for standing and £150 for front standing.

 

Annoying this now seems to be a going rate for stadium shows ngl.

Yeah, it can get in the bin. £100 for a concert ticket before fees? I'd expect the singer to serve me my double-cupped pint mid-song for that price.

    • 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.
