Hyde Park 2012

^{Festivals used to be about freedom. Where's the freedom in queuing up like a muppet to have your every action tracked?}

^{I'm sure some people will love them, just as they love a dancing dog. Festivals are dead maaan, dog shows are where it's at now.}

[DJL]

that will shift tickets....mhmm the opening has 5 acts now then!

[LondonTom]

ha yeah I misread that at first, saw july and thought it was for the snow patrol date...

The other dates sound pretty cool for just your booking fee!

Tom Morello added to saturday's HRC. Just imagine him and Springsteen performing together "The Ghost Of Tom Joad"

If anyone happens to know anywhere other than ebay that i'd be able to get hold of a ticket for the closing ceremony blur concert, I'm on the lookout.

I live in Australia, but have just booked a trip to UK/Europe and will definitely be in London on the 12th - but obviously I missed out on getting a ticket before they sold out...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ive got a spare (Ive got 3 spares actually) if you are still after one...?

[arteet]

You have spares for Blur? If so, can I take two?

[nightcrawler13]

i have a Blur ticket that i'm selling, ended up getting tickets for some of the games so can't really afford 2 london weekends in a row!

it's an eticket though, so you'll have to meet up with two of my (very nice) friends on the way in

[aldo]

Hey I'm also flying over from Australia in time for the Blur gig, thing is I also don't have tickets. I am after at least 2, possibly 3 or 4 (depending on my mates). Can anyone help a brother out? Thanks in advance.

is it good or bad news for rihanna fans?

it depends - some people would say its a good thing if she's cancelled.

I guess you've seen the story we've published, here:-

http://www.efestival...2/120607e.shtml

However, we've been doing some background digging along with getting the 'official' word from Wireless, and we're leaning towards there being substance to the stories, and that she might not appear - but that's a guess rather than anything firm from what we've been able to discover around the stories which have been published.

If she pulls out would they cancel her day then? I think they'd be covered with the whole line up subject to change thing but I can't imagine still wanting to go.

i do agree with you - read multiple sources saying she hasn't pulled out, but I've read nothing from rihanna or her management to say she hasn't!

it's not clear why there's been nothing from Rhianna's 'people', but nothing particularly should be read into that. And even if there was something, it would likely come from her UK PR who might not give the true story for a number of reasons.

Any news on transport to Blur yet?

Massive effort with trying to get a hotel near Olympics?
