Were I not meant to be down the day after, I might have considered trains. Last one to West Yorkshire isn't until half ten, I think, so should have been ample time.

That might be an option, park in Leeds get the train down and back.

Nah, that would be a very fast move from Brixton to King's Cross. (I assume King's Cross?).

 

What's the last train?

22:35, that’s plenty and also allows a stop to stock up on a McDonalds and some snacks from the shop.

Oh, beautiful!

 

Aye, I'd be on that. In fact, if the hotel price is silly in London, I could be tempted to come back up and then go back down again on the Monday.

 

But even as I type that, I realise it sounds preposterous. Get meself a Premier Inn, I'll be reet.

Aye, they're not too bad. They're decently priced the night after on the Monday for Beyonce - trying to get it booked but I'm waiting on the rest of my companions to give me the go-ahead. Too busy faffing about sadly, with, y'know, life.

Try the hubs the ones near Shoreditch and brick lane are always cheap and it’s not too far from Liverpool Street

I got a twin room at the Brixton Premier Inn for Friday 13th for £99. It's non-refundable but I'll definitely use it as planning a double header with Charli XCX at Lido the following day.

 

Haven't booked LCD tickets yet as reckon I'll pick them up just beforehand, hopefully a bit cheaper. Know weekends will be more in demand but can't see them selling out all the dates. It's also the case that people's plans change so tickets always come up.

How long are their own non-festival shows? Generally two hours or so? Toss in forty minutes of support and we'll be laughing.

Going back to this, I'm sure I've read that they don't typically have a support act? Or just someone DJing. Consensus seems to be they play for about 2 hours at a headline (non-fest) show as you say

I do wonder how many will actually not read the fine-print and turn up about seven for the Sunday shows.

 

I for one am looking forward to being out at nine and potentially finding myself a nice pint of bitter somewhere in Clapham.

Annoyingly if I had realised the Sunday gigs were early curfews I absolutely would have gone for that over Saturdays. I'm always moaning that 11pm curfews are too late 😂

Pretty sure it was the awesome Mermaid Chunky as support for the last lot of Brixton gigs.

Too late!!!

 

Way too early. No venue should shut that early. 1am or later. As for these weird matinée shows, absolutely nonsense. Going out before 10pm is also weird

I’m going to do the first 3 shows. Saw them at the Barrowlands last year and was on the barrier. An absolute all timer gig for me! But I did miss them play Daft Punk there and in Bristol so I’m hoping by doing 3 in a row I’ll defo see it!

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
