iTunes Festival 2014

[LondonTom]

The numbers per gig still seem oddly low if true...

"3,300 standing. 1,700 seated" I think if I remember right the Seated bit is used for Celebs/VIP , then the standing area is what you have left. There's only Itunes, XFM and Metro that are giving them away, even if they had an equal share each (Which they won't, XFM doesn't have a 1000 tickets a gig to give away?)..Odd very odd! (Unless the 1700 is setting up to be all seated? instead of the top tier and the 3300 could be without a stage).

Makes no difference I know Just trying work out what they are doing

I never win goddammit

Has anyone watched any of these? I clicked on the notification for Lady Gaga to see what the streaming was like (I didn't watch much of it, promise ) and there was just a sea of smartphones, it was ridiculous. Have the other gigs been like this?

Of what I watched (about 15 minutes), Sigur Ros were killing it on Monday! The crowd looked good from what I saw but ofc, you can never really tell. Gutted I didn't win a ticket for them

I was at Sigur Rós, great crowd, obviously a few photos but no one took the piss taking videos or anything stupid. Amazing performance as well.

A mate and I are thinking of queuing for QOTSA on Friday, never done it before so was looking for advice on how early to get there and what time they start letting the 'queue people' in?

[giantwagon]

Glad there were real fans there! Sometimes there isn't many at these iTunes gigs!

They normally start letting in people without tickets around 20:00-20:30 but it can be earlier/later tbh. Now, about turning up, I would say around 12:00/13:00 should guarantee you get a good spot in the queue. Be warned though, they occasionally do not have the standby queue for larger/more popular acts (Foo's didn't have one, Kasabian had one but in the end nobody was let in, C&S didn't have one either - these are just the ones I know about). This is rare but they don't announce it until about 5/6pm and only at the venue, not on Twitter/Facebook etc.

Tbh, if you queue early, you'll probably get in but I thought you should know that there is a risk of a wasted day & journey. Hope you get in though as Queens in The Roundhouse would be magical!

[Babyquack]

Thanks a lot, I think I should be able to get there for early afternoon so we'll have to see how it goes! If I don't get in it's not the end of the world as I don't live too far away anyway

[foolee]

Just looked at my emails and won Primal Scream tickets! Wooooo!

[giantwagon]

Looked at the weather this morning, saw the forecast and decided against queuing for QOTSA. I'm seeing them at Wembley anyway, which I know won't be the same, but should still be great!

glad id decided against queuing for the phoenix gig as thats just been cancelled.

I'm going to Kings Of Leon tomorrow night, should be interesting to see if they actually show even an ounce of emotion whilst playing. Never looked like they give a shit when I've seen them on telly before (never actually seen them live thought).

[jump]

they've not given a shit and showed stage presence and emotion sine 2009. And they were very much the turn up and just play before then

[giantwagon]

They were actually really good last night. Not a great crowd but pleasantly surprised by the band themselves. New stuff sounds brilliant as well.
