*facepalm*

[LondonTom]

Rob doesn't seem to think we need one quite yet

A bit off subject but can i get close to the front on the stages also i am a bit of a rave junkie and enjoy a good moshpit does anyone think they will pop up to the appropriate artists such as nero gemini ect!?!?!?!?

[Zacko]

Found it really easy to get to the front of the main stage last year, not so much in the big top/other tents but that might have been because I mainly went in there in the night. James Blake in the day for example was really easy to get a good spot for.

Not sure about mosh pits, can't remember seeing any but I wasn't exactly sober, Magnetic Man went off pretty big though.

[Joe-]

Didn't see any mosh pits go off last year, more just loads of bouncing and people trying to dance to dubstep.

Reckon they'll be a mosh-pit for Sigur Ros though.

[Tom12]

Cool I guess it depends where you are in the crowd im sure there will be a few for doctorp gemini nero ect if not i will attempt to start one i will just push my mate and expect people to push him back haha!

Why would anyone 'mosh' to electronic music and what do mosh pits have to do with Raves?

Times are a changing

Yes at Bros Broing around! I hate Brostep and mosh pits as well to be honest, maybe it's as I've got older but i prefer a happier dancing vibe these days.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I wonder if this week's delayed announcement has anything to do with the fact that Reading and Leeds confirmed the rest of the NME stage this week? Hope they're not linked, it's a decidely 'meh' announcement

[Joe-]

I just would like Passion Pit, Miike Snow is TBC so I think he'll be announced, with a couple of other similar sized acts and a bunch of smaller stuff.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we get loads of bigger things!

This is what I think of when I hear Moshing...

Not guys wearing glowstick headbands, furiously wagging two fingers back and forth while hopping on one leg in wee circles.

[Vanderlyle]

There's nothing like a moshpit to ruin a good gig.

I love it when people are doing 'hardcore dancing', they look so silly.

I've been in quite a few mosh pits, I think they can be fun and sometimes not so fun. They did lose their attraction when I got older though, I started going to gigs at 13 and absolutely loved them. Now I'm happy to stand on the side.

It depends on the crowd really, like, I saw Flogging Molly and there were mosh pits but it was great fun. Everyone looked after each other and there was barn dancing. I've been in mosh pits where people have been throwing punches, and that put me off.

What's moshing about that?! It's just a load of men running around in circles. Are you sure it's not the annual masons inaugurattion ceremony? And where the fuck is the band? 5 minutes further on and they are all naked, covered in showere gel I reckon

[dingbat2]

Ring a ring of roses, a pocket full of posies, aithichoo, aithichoo, they all fall down. (apologise for the spelling of most words)

Having a fun conversation with yourself?
