Do you reckon I can show up on weds and buy an early entry ticket on the day?

[Will Cherno]

Beltin.

[bik]

i'm still toying with selling my day sat ticket, due to credit crunch and my mortgage suddenly going up £150 this month :-(

[Joe]

I'm going! I have a ticket and everything!



quality!

[emily.]

Mee. My ticket came through th'post today :)

[Denning]

I only realised this morning how close it is :D

Got my guest tickets in hand. Although it is a compulsory £25 donation per ticket for the VIP and backstage passes when I think of the money I'm saving I'm a happy happy man.

Does anyone know if I can get in on the Wednesday with guest tickets?

[Tarnishedglitter]

Me, nick, charlotte and lucy are going :)

[liambetney]

Anyone going to the above named event of the year?

[godonlyknows]

Oh, bless you.

[executiverocker]

http://prestone.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=46672&highlight=leeds

[Edinburgh]

Still deciding as the whether I should go or not...

[liambetney]

I'll be there all weekend- temted to paint my face for when slipknot are on... but then again i probably wont be watching slipknot so it might look a little odd ;)

[Michael]

Still deciding as the whether I should go or not...

Same, i'm edging toward no at the moment though. Abit gutted but there's always next year :( and tbh No Silverchair on the bill made me weep a little. I really thought after their amazing BDO shows they'd of got a European Summer tour together, lazy bastards ;).

Yeah, sooo unless i can get a bargain ticket, i'm not bothering.

[Joe]

I'm supposed to be getting a ticket but I've not heard anything for 2 weeks from the guy selling it. Apparently, he's contacting my brother today.


If I don't get hold of the tickets I'm going to Creamfields.

[James]

The event of the year was Dolphinstock. Also, I'm going to merge this with the other Leeds Festival thread. Keep the place all tidy like.

[RocknRollPartyGirl]

Does anyone fancy doing this with me http://www.leedsfestival.co.uk/info/index.aspx

[Tanye]

I'm gonna be there all weekend, off my face, not watching any bands.

Sounds about right.
I normally go for the camping, burning of things and the drinking of worthys creamflow at 8am (old man).
I don't even know whos playing apart from slipknot and metallica.
Should be an alright weekend!

sorted.

a choice of RATM, Babyshambles and Less Than Jake.... I think I'll go RATM.

just looked at the line up, it looks shit, why am I going haha. I think I will just have to get seriously messy and rave my tits off to pendulum or something.
I haven't seen slipknot live in 7 years....so I will be very excited about that, nostalgic nu-metal moment.

[Jonnysus]

if you want to watch pendulum you should get a spot about a week before they go on. at download half the festival watched them on the second stage. luckily it was outside.

leeds' second stage is in a tent

LOL then I may just have to rave somewhere nearby and hope people don't notice. I doubt they will because they will probably be doing the same.



I can't wait for the pervy mid-life crisis blokes and their tit-related comments :D

[jessdrummer]

My ticket came today, still waiting on the early pass.
For everyone that said 'Can I get in on Wednesday without any early pass?' it's a probably a no. On the tickets it says no entry before 8am, Thursday and you can't buy early permits on the gates - as some of my mates found out last year.

[Drunknmunky]

i aint going which caps off a festivalless year for me! not happy!

[Tanye]

You may aswell watch it on youtube.

Whats wrong with ol SOV?

many, many things.

[Joe]

just searched through the line-up. looks like there's a few bands I might well watch who i've not heard of before. Future of the left look interesting, as do that ****ing tank

[Lizibeth]

bah. i really wanna go.

[Pish]

that ****ing tank

Marcus used to rave on about these.I think they played the Mitre

[Joe]

getting well worried about this now

[Denning]

I'm sure someone on here will have had VIP passes before. Can I get in on the Wednesday? Neither the letter nor the tickets have an entry date.

[Metrobone]

[evilgingeremperor]

Yessss.

Also, Be Your Own Pet, last chance to see them cos they're splitting up after this.

[emily.]

Come the first day I'll already be knackered from adventure-week, woops. I make the most ridiculous plans.
Nevermind.. I'll mostly be wandering round trying to find Alicia and people for Manics, probably crashing different camps every night as far too many people are going, seeing a lot of the obvious, going for some stuff I've been recommended, and bouncing to Alkaline Trio who are playing a tent instead of main stage like last time, YAY.

[Joe]

Yessss.

Also, Be Your Own Pet, last chance to see them cos they're splitting up after this.

I'll be your own pet.

[evilgingeremperor]

I'll be your own pet.

OK. I'm not taking you out for walkies though.

The handsome ones are.

Well. Handsomest.

[Tarnishedglitter]

Just been off buying food :) I've bought a trangier stove, so should be fun trying to work out how to use it :)

[Tarnishedglitter]

Is everyone camping together or should we have some kind of meetup one night? I have to camp with all my sisters mates who I don't know :(

[Eljay]

me and siunaki are going. :) We have space in a car if anyone needs a lift.

where is everyone camping? re above post.

[Tarnishedglitter]

If anyone fancies meeting up at some point, pm me your mobile number and I'll give you mine and we'll meet at some point in the wanderings about.

[Will Cherno]

Woo excited. Although my mate no longer has a ticket...grr.

[Will Cherno]

Tickets that you pick up on the door...is it just me or does this sound dodgy?

[Eljay]

SOS MasterTicket?

[Will Cherno]

No idea...my friend is after buying a ticket and has found a person selling one who says that she has to pick it up on the door. I've never heard of this and it sounds a bit suspicious.

[Eljay]

Rage opened Reading wearing Guantanamo suits (including the hoods) and played Bombtrack.

I don't care what any of you say but that is a goddman opening. Man, I'd love to go and see em'.

What's the story behind the BBC not showing Rage?

[Rach]

What's the story behind the BBC not showing Rage?

I believe they refused to be filmed, or at least that is what someone on here said.

[Andy]

Yeah, they're on some policy with this tour that means nothing can be shown on TV.

[bigred]

i wouldnt be surprised, its not like they actually need the publicity/cash really.

[JohnnyYen]

Rage opened Reading wearing Guantanamo suits (including the hoods) and played Bombtrack.

Yeah! Some fifteen-year-old heavy metal that sounded like an anachronism when it first came out! THAT'll learn 'em! Lets see if Gitmo is still standing after THAT!

If RATM are people's idea of Rebel Music, then the people DESERVE to be oppressed.

Bumch of irritating, pointless, preaching-to-the-half-witted-converted, futile, worthless, outdated, bad-haired, sounding-like-shite c*nts. If the price of freedom is having to listen to that puerile pile of piss, then bring the capitalo-fascist hegemony ON.

It's being so far from you that does it, you sweet sweet boy.

Srsly though, Rage Against The Pissing Machine? Me and my boys were laughing at them when we were 16 back in '92. "**** YOU I WON'T TIDY MY BEDROOM" - come the f**k on. Trustafarian bitches.

[procopius]

Srsly though, Rage Against The Pissing Machine? Me and my boys were laughing at them when we were 16 back in '92. "**** YOU I WON'T TIDY MY BEDROOM" - come the f**k on. Trustafarian bitches.

Yeah. Rage Against The Parents was the gag hereabouts. It's pretty good stuff when you're about six pints under in a nightclub, though.

[Jonnysus]

Just got home.

Rage Against The Machine were excellent.

The Enemy and The Fratellis are ****ing shit.

That is all.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Mixing music with politics is all well and good if you're into that sort of thing, but I ain't. I like RATM for their music, and that's all. When they get all arsey about shit in other countries and what-not, it pisses me off.

Politics is the best way to spoil a live show. U2 were guilty of it in the eighties and it pisses me off when you're watching the best live performance of a song and they go onto some preachy interlude mid-song about some bollocks right in the middle of a ****ing song. That's why I wasn't to arsed about seeing RATM live, and the fact that they didn't want to be filmed just highlights how much of a shower of wankers they really are.

[J2TheH]

I like RATM for their music, and that's all.

+1.

[Tarnishedglitter]

I wimped out :( I've been six times, and I have never seen so much mud in my life. It took me two hours of falling over and not being able to get up easily to get to my tent after watching the stuff on thursday night and losing both my sisters. Add that to there being an actual DJ on in the campsite till 6am, the arses next to the head of my tent kicking me all night and the stupid drugs I'm on making me tired as soon as I touched any alcohol and I realised I'm too old for all that. I came to Newcastle instead for a week of art, family and geordie accents. And a proper bed. I'm so un-rock and roll, but I'm kinda happy with it :)

Why I fell over so much more then everyone else I have no idea, but me and knee-high mud clearly don't mix. Oh well, it's a more civilised festival for me next year.

[Denning]

Just got home. It was brilliant.

The mud was ridiculous! On Thursday and Friday we got as far as the OXFAM tent then turned round to go back. When the mud is up to the middle of your shins it's time to head back to the tent. Luckily the guest area was fine and mud free so it wasn't getting into my tent like it was other peoples.

I was so disappointed with Rage! I was quite near the back and you'd think after the last 10 years they would sort the sound out. Not only was it really quiet there was often too much bass and it seemed to fade in and out. Spent a lot of time at the comedy tent but I always do and all said and done a top weekend =)

Now for a shower and a kip

dr who circa 2005?

the dark knight?

[jessdrummer]

I'm home!

Highlights had to be Metallica, Rage, Scroobius Pip and Youthmovies. The Killers were awful. Loads of pictures taken and I've left so much stuff in Brap-ham park. Counted 28 gas canisters in our camp over the 6 days. Really enjoyed it, loads better than last year.

Time to sleep.

[James]

I watched it (well, Reading) on BBC3. Was pretty jealous of it all really. Then I remembered I have a bad back and dodgy knees.

[Will Cherno]

I'm home and clean. Mud mud mud. Mud everywhere. I won't complain too much though as I expected to get soaked but the weather was lovely.

Did anyone else think the sound quality on all the stages was poor? Rage and the Killers were ruined by the soundguy's inability to turn the bass down a bit. Several other bands were either not loud enough or just all over the place. Still good though.

Highlights...Djing at the campsite party things on three nights and getting repeatedly shut off for people going too mental to my tunes...Justice (omgz)...finding my Cherno graffiti from last year in a toilet...being a general disgrace and having a fun old time.

Good stuff.

Which one were you at? Me, Joe & Hannah visited a couple on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

[Lou]

You should come to Solfest next year! Loads of stuff for children and a really relaxed atmosphere.

[Will Cherno]

Orange. Saturday night was the only night I didn't do (too drunk). Did you hear anything other than terrible dance / dnb / rave?

[Metrobone]

just spoke to joe he had a belting time but said the sound on the mainstage was gash!

[Joe]

RATM are the greatest live band in the world.


QOTSA were ****ing awesome

"C...c...c...c...c...cocaine!"

[Pish]

just about. was a bit shakey at times! How was chavfields?






oh and it took me 12 hours to get from my house to the car park at the festival. stuck in traffic for over 10 hours in leeds.

[Denning]

What time and route did you go?! It was three for us about midday on the A64 - A1

[cultmetfan]

the set up at Leeds was a ****ing joke.

we had to walk through all the campsites to get to the main stage and again back to the car park.

only one entrance is simply not good enough,it just seems like they were trying to cut down on the number of staff used.

and that foot long hotdog stall in the main arena needs to be reported,the hotdogs didn't taste of anything remotely like a hotdog and the guy who runs the stall was a twat to all his staff.

that sucks.

it took me and my mate about 3 1/2hours to get off the car park in 2003.

luckily this time me and Lindsay found my car straight away and we got away no probs,took just over 90mins to get back.

[Denning]

The set up is a joke but I think it's just so big that unless your camped on the gate, your going to walk.

Another brilliant bit was getting to take cans into the arena :) Saved me a small fortune in beer.

[Pish]

just about. was a bit shakey at times! How was chavfields?

Very Chavvy... Gatecrasher was better! Soulwax, SMD, Deadmau5 and Underworld were ace. Tim cant hack my pace. 4am, Tidy Trax Tent, Renton Stomping to some of the most hilarious remixes I've ever heard. Hardstyle Wonderwall LOL

No pass outs which was shite

Jesus, my legs are cut to shreds haha!!

Creamfields was ACE! Met some lads from Middlesborough. Proper chavs like but really sound to talk to.

And highlights for me was Underworld, Soulwax, the insane amount of minimal house on saturday and FATBOY SLIM!!!

Pish, what the hell was that song which went something like "Oh, all the joy under the sun blah blah OH!"? Can't find it ANYWHERE.

[topcat]

Very Chavvy... Gatecrasher was better! Soulwax, SMD, Deadmau5 and Underworld were ace. Tim cant hack my pace. 4am, Tidy Trax Tent, Renton Stomping to some of the most hilarious remixes I've ever heard. Hardstyle Wonderwall LOL

No pass outs which was shite

I only came across one chav actually, I thought the atmosphere was immence. But by 8pm on the Saturday it was looking like Michael Jackson's Thriller video with a load of zombies wandering round throwing up. I found this extremely hilarious. :D

I filmed the opening scene (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) of FBS's set if you want it ill upload it. It was kinda cool i guess.

Yeah! Some fifteen-year-old heavy metal that sounded like an anachronism when it first came out! THAT'll learn 'em! Lets see if Gitmo is still standing after THAT!

If RATM are people's idea of Rebel Music, then the people DESERVE to be oppressed.

What options do people have though? Rage are a good entry point into alternative politics for some people. I personally didn't think about Rage's politics when I first listened to them, I got into my politics in other ways, but I imagine that for someone who has never really encountered much more than pop music before, it might be extremely fresh and effective. Prestone isn't representative of the average listener, most music fans aren't as knowledgeable as we are. I think it would be ridiculous to assume that Rage honestly think they can change much, and they've always made that clear. People are allowed to protest against things, and that's what they were doing.

I'd never class Rage as heavy metal though.

Sucked to be you guys on general camping! I was at Reading camped in a football stadium, with a minibus to take us to work every morning. I did the walk the first day (the ground was behind brown camp) and had to go through the entire site as well, it was a nightmare. Heard some of our crew complaining that Reading and Leeds had cut back loads because of the fact that there is no longer a named sponsor. Carlsberg/Tuborg/Gaymers were the beer suppliers this year (you probably noticed) but the fact that they weren't title sponsors probably means a huge cut in funding. Still no excuse for the shit tip that both festivals have become in terms of organisation and atmosphere. Reading was actually full of wankers, I've never been around so many arrogant tossers in my life. Telling people that Slipknot were still playing on Sunday was awesome though, people will believe anything if you have a staff pass.

It's just that song I can't find.

I got hassled about 3 times.

One was because I didnt own a lighter, so he told me, "**** off or or I'll smack you" so I complied and moved the other side of the tent cus I was on my own.

[jessdrummer]

As a Biffy fan, I hope you like my artwork on her hat, ha.

[jesus_nightside_eclipse]

Also, the following bands were turd:

Yeasayer
The Death Set

Wow.

[Will Cherno]

Rage weren't shit...they certainly could've been better, I wasn't as blown away as I was expecting to be. It was still enjoyable though and far from shit.

We left Preston at 6am on Thursday and got in at about 2pm...absolutely crazy. Never seen it like that before. Did managed to get straight out though at 10am this morning, no queue whatsoever...was awesome.

[Metrobone]

big boys with little balls. not met one yet with a decent punch

[emily.]

I'm absolutely knackered. Ace times were had. Wasted a lot of the time. In mud a lot of the time.
Rage, Manics, Alkaline Trio, Biffy Clyro were dead good. Seasick Steve was well fun despite being with some guys I'd met two days previous, hahah. Other stuff was probably dead good. Some was not. Never camp next to those rave things, though I didn't really care apart from Saturday night. YAWN.

[jessdrummer]

Actually, the highlight of my weekend was having a massive argument with the lead singer of One Night Only who kicked my tent and threatened to burn it. Bastard.

bad points:

12 hours to get there
only watching 4 bands on the Friday cause I was so tired- missed the Music, Chromeo or Pendulum and SMD

Mindless Self-Indulgence

[evilgingeremperor]

QOTSA



QOTSA opening with "no one knows" and then following it with "feel good hit" was amazing as was most of saturday night.
also when Seasick Steve got an 18 year girl to come up on stage + whenever it showed her face on the big screne she looked like she didnt want to be there, that was quite funny.

Not that loser!

[Stenic]

also it goes without saying Rage were the highlight of the weekend but Tenacious D, Adam Hills, John Cooper Clarke (and a lot of the stuff i saw on the alternative stage), Floggy Molly & the Manic's were all highlights.
people trying to set our tents on fire on sunday night + wanting to fight with us wasnt very nice neither was having to get up at 6 on monday morning to spend ages queing for the bus to the train station.

[Joe]

Not that loser!

was a nice guy!

just GRRRRRR.

have faith that one day, somewhere unexpected in a manner yet unknown, these c**** will get a big upcommance.


what brain cells are folk like this missing to even think that behaving in such a way is acceptable?

[jessdrummer]

I'm can't wait to get my pictures developed. Classy photographs were taken.

[Blousey Brown]

Ahhh man work was NOT SO FUN TODAY.
Lots of good things happened this weekend.
Most of the music (apart from Biffy who disappointed me a bit) was good. Being right in the middle raving my boobies off was good. Having a boy to look after you whilst doing so was good. Los Campencinos was good. Meeting some mint people was good. Getting home in about 2 hours flat was WELL good.
It were hella muddy. I didn't see ANY tent in a worse spot than ours. Also I got my head jumped on while I was asleep inside my tent. Also in the 60 minutes I wore them putting up our tent my new ****ing lovely high tops got RUINED.

edit: and of course seeing joe was good. haha

you'd hope so but the stewards made it worse cos they were spineless (the stewards on the red campsite at least) and wouldnt do anything to help.
thankfully we were grown up enough to ignore them to the point they just went away.

Stewards are only allowed to do so much though. Even the paid ones can only do so much before the have to get security, it's all to do with SIA licenses, most of the stewards at festivals are just volunteers.

Leeds for me...camped on a hill in orange village which we couldn't get up when it was muddy, passed out on the Friday for 6 hours and missed alexisonfire and pendulum, got really ****ing angry that slipknot pulled out, thoroughly enjoyed metallica, watched thrice, alkaline trio, h20 and the unseen and spent the last night holding a private rave under my gazeebo until 6am.
Also did 25 poos in total.


Was one of the best Leeds so far and there were next to none bands I wanted to watch.


Still going to download next year instead.

I got stuck halfway up that thing very late at night, just watching my friend get to the top. No way up and no way down! Then some guy who I was convinced at the time was absolutely amazing and superhuman came and hauled me up it, I think I told him he was a very nice man and was doing a great job. Go booze. Haha.
