The ground was absolutely fine, the water drained away without any mud being churned up.

I've already promised it to in excess of 3 friends, I can't believe you'd come at us like this.

Yeah, it's all drained away, no mud, just wet dusty ground

I would also be interested in such a link, please

Have people had their TFG purchase emails for Field Day and DCFC yet?

Someone mentioned getting their LCD email around lunchtime yesterday. I'm hoping for Field Day to come through today and DCFC tomorrow, on that basis.

Well they're still available on Ticketmaster, so...

That's the same length as their Glastonbury and Primavera sets, so it's probably just what their offering this year.

Field Day times are finally on the app now

Timetable stuff is frustrating. I saw them drip feeding DJ times earlier. Just put all the times up, ffs

Nothing from AXS off the back off out TFG vouchers yet. I expect it will all happen mid week.

I went in around 4pm and other than the dog handler, who was clearly power tripping, everyone was fairly chill. I think after 2 hours of solid checking people on a whim and not finding anything, maybe they'd lost some of their vigor. I doubt you'd get much out of complaining, although the searches were filmed, so you never know. My feeling is, unless you could prove the handlers were either targeting people or straight making sh*t up, there's little that can be done.

Anyone else get sniffed out by one of the dogs yesterday? Seemed to be loads of people going for extra searches. Felt more like the dog was thrust at me, and the signal was nothing more than them sniffing me, which I've had plenty of times before and not had it called a signal.

Am sat out in my garden. Sounds like someone's playing a Muse CD on MSW.

Despite my lack of fomo for this year I was tempted by a couple of half price tickets for Saturday, just because it's right here and I know I can just get drunk and party. I really hope they make amends next year. Whomever is managing this mess this year is clearly nothing but financially driven and lost sight of what Reading was, treating it like some other city festival. Weekend tickets are twice what the relative price given inflation was when I first went, and the lineup back then had bands with at least one and often multiple albums opening most of the stages. I get the album business and stream have changed things since then, but really? How are kids meant to be paying for that if you're relying on The Killers to hold it all together?
