Indeed. For example If I was a Lankum fan and had tickets to Latitude I would be very worried about whether they turn up…

I think it will, although there might be more turbulence yet. Barclays are not even the lead sponsor, like they are for Latitude, Download, Isle of Wight and many other festivals. TGE is relatively independent in comparison. Interesting times ahead as Latitude’s line up In particular may be...

Anyone got any tips for The Great Escape festival next month?

All festivals are struggling this year to book strong lineups. As others have pointed out, Glasto‘s depth further down still makes it stand out. Unfortunately the greed of artists like Adele means that festivals that charge £350 for a weekend ticket simply can’t compete with the revenue...

It is absolutely done for the kids. My 9 year old boy adores it. If this helps bring through the next generation of fans, rather than them choosing to spend their afternoon/ evenings on Fortnite as someone mentioned in another thread, then I’m sure we can all put it up with it.

What’s everyone’s best (and worst if you like) gig of the year? My overall year was good but probably only Young Fathers at the Dome were truly great. Honourable mentions to Blondshell, Ben Howard, Bob Vylan and Amyl and the Sniffers. Worst by a mile were The Strokes - abysmal.

I can’t imagine what this place will be like when at some point in the future we are relegated. The guy behind me just kept moaning the whole match. After a terrible opening 15 mins, we played well. We deserved to win. Sadly, we didn’t. But we are 8th in the PL despite 7 first team players...

Never too old. I’m 43 and intend to be in the pit until I simply I can’t do it. Also battered from last night. Felt bad for the guy who got carried out - definitely knocked out unconscious (at least initially).

Bob Vylan was carnage at Chalk last night. I don’t agree with all his views, but really respect his DIY ethos. This was particularly highlighted by him running his own merch stand including doing all the card payments himself. Remember he’s sold out a 2500 venue in London tonight - if he was...

Young Fathers ‘Heavy Heavy’ for me as well by a very wide margin.

Grey and slimy is a perfect description.

The cheeseburger looked absolutely crap though. Hard to believe but it actually tasted even worse than it looked.

Anyone got any new band recommendations for Mutations Festival next week? Big Special pretty much my only ‘must see’ at the moment in that category. Of the more established acts playing, I‘m looking forward to finally getting to see Porridge Radio and Prima Queen live.

Young Fathers tonight at the Dome were incredible. Gig of the year for me so far and I’ve seen a lot.

I think our taste in music is very aligned. I’m also at Young Fathers, Mutations and Bob Vylan. Only skipping Deadletter and Opus Kink as saw them earlier in the summer. I’ve also got Model/Actriz on the 10th Nov booked in.

I know this is super hard to predict but me and my son are Albion+. What chances we can get tickets for Ajax at home? It’s the only home game we can make. Has the club released numbers of 3 packs sold?

Yeah I’ve heard they are great live. It will actually be my first time seeing them. For some reason I couldn’t get into Cocoa Sugar. However Heavy Heavy was love at first sight and has helped me try harder with the earlier stuff. I couldn’t do their Chalk show in Feb due to work commitments and...

Anyone else picked up tickets for Young Fathers at the Brighton Dome in Oct?

Opus Kink at Patterns last night were superb - gig of the year territory.

Great recommendation - Butch Kassidy were my highlight yesterday. The drummer was insane. Chubby and the Gang were also very good. Overall Blondshell at the Komedia were definitely my festival highlight. You can see she is on a Phoebe Bridgers career trajectory.
