Report

Thank you, I appreciate the help! I’m coming solo from the US, doing both RAR and now likely RFP back to back. This lineup is an insane value, almost like $200 USD cheaper than DL

Was it going that late on Wed/Thu? I remember when we were looking for some after party after Neck Deep this year but everything closed just before 1am…

The other thing that could give weight to the Taylor rumour is that all the rest of the top line who were booked for 2020 have since honoured their commitment to play the festival? Maybe there’s even a clause in the contract for big names that if the act has to cancel/the festival gets cancelled they have to come back within X amount of years.    When you consider that both U2 and Foos also came back after having to cancel their headline sets it tracks…

Yeah this is definitely on my radar for next year too now. One of my friends is trying to convince us to go to Download that weekend but I’m looking at the price of tickets and flights for this and currently it’s cheaper than a Download ticket alone. Been looking at the last couple of years line ups and they usually have a few indie/alternative names in the mix to vary the line up (already got a good start on that this year with Fontaines and Idles) which is right up my street.   I did have a theory that The War On Drugs might have been the headliner on the 11th and that is why they weren’t supporting Fender’s first Newcastle date as they don’t really fit into Nova Rock or anything else around the same time but RfP confirmed on Facebook that Avenged Sevenfold will be headlining the 11th.  

For afterparties, you have a number of options. There are DJ after parties going in tents until 2am on Wed/Thu, 3am on Fri/Sat, silent disco, etc. Comfy+ area afterparty runs until 4am each day, it's a part of Comfy+ ticket on top of other goodies. Check their website for details.  Vibe is great, no need to worry 😉
