BST in Hyde Park 2014

[Babyquack]

What's happened to HRC?

[LondonTom]

I ended up in the O2 priority line for Winter Wonderland last night because my mate is on O2. No idea that even existed.

It was so long we ended up getting in after the 'normal' people.

I've given in. I'm going (to Neil Young).

Only thing is, my dad, who I'm going with is probably not as able as I am to turn up early & stand all day...

So I'm wondering - did anyone use the "Premium View" area last year (was it only in place for the Rolling Stones?). For £20 extra, I'd easily pay if it meant we could turn up a little later but still get reasonably close....

Any advice much appreciated folks.

Few new names added to bill. Hope Ethan johns ain't on at same time as Neil. Would love to see them both

Doubt it - they tend not to put on other acts when the headliner's on

Do we believe this or just another load of hyped up crap because he's in town and everyone has Prince fever?

Wasn't going to get tickets for this but am quite tempted by the Neil Young day now The National are down as 'full set'. I emailed the organisers for clarification and while they wouldn't commit, they seemed to suggest it would be about 90 minutes. I'm interested in seeing Neil Young but The National are the big draw for me. Still a lot of money though - more than double the 6music festival!

Do the normal entry tickets allow you to get to the front? Went to the Stones thing last year and all the standing area was tiered. I think you could get to the front if you got there at dawn or something. Surprised it's not sold out too.

Any idea when we'll get more headliners for this? Or anyone know who they are?

[Zoo Music Girl]

It's not just the promoter's word though, it's the fact it says 'full set' after their name on the bill, which is what prompted me to ask.

After their blistering 6music show last night however, I'm definitely going to get a ticket for this.

[glasto-worker]

Looking at the map on the BST website, it seems that "general admission" would allow you to get to the front, with the "premium area" offset to one side of the main arena. Every gig I've been to in Hyde Park has had a gold circle premium price area at the front, the size of which has varied considerably (Simon & Garfunkel was pretty much all the way to the front-of-house control tower).

I've had a hunch since christmas that the foo's were gonna do hyde park in 2014... and nothing yet on that so maybe It wasn't the best I could guess.

[roadrunner66]

It seems that Black Sabbath will be announced on Sunday.

[LondonTom]

Oh that would be tempting!

[luckysalt]

HMMM same weekend as Soni, so I wonder how well this would sell.

Do you think people with weekend Soni tickets would fuck off the Friday to go to this? I think a few would...

Sabbath were awesome at Download 2012, Soundgarden supported then as well though so something different would be nice. Even though I enjoyed some of their set, it just begin to drag a little, Jesus Christ Pose was ace though.

[dentalplan]

Is that what day it is? Friday 4th?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Are Deftones exclusive to Soni? They'd make a nice support for Sabbath if not.

[the wonderwhy]

Is that what day it is? Friday 4th?

[dentalplan]

Supposedly, yeah.

Was hoping Pixies would support but then I remember Field Day's exclusivity (and checked their dates )

Alice in Chains, Frank Turner, Truckfighters, Dropkick Murphys from Soni would be nice.

Hope it's the 13th, then I'll have Sonisphere, a few days to recover, Pearl Jam at Milton Keynes, then Sabbath on the Sunday!

If it is the 4th then I will be one of those people missing Prodigy.

[mrtourette]

If Sabbath are doing Hyde Park on the Friday of Soni that would be an organisationsl balls-up of hilarious proportions.
