Divein Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 You'll know when the lineup is out by the fact that this thread drops down to page 3 because every Matt and his dog has started a 'The Line Up Is Out' thread. Along with a thread about clashes A thread about the line up being rubbish The actual clashfinder thread About 5 threads questioning why certain bands are missing All these on the front page will be the indication the line up is out before you've even realised.

Kanye's Cock Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'd be happy with a West Holts lineup - my favorite stage/venue i'd love it if they released a stage a week for the next couple of months. think i'd prefer it to one big line up release actually. do it on a Monday morning too when we're all settling in to another boring week of work.

The Placid Casual Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I've never even posted a lineup is out thread Seems very George Orwell animal farm to me, associating everything bad and everything dystopian with Matt42 regardless if I've ever actually done any of those things. People spamming with new topics? That's annoying.. Must be done by Matt42!! Pretty much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Not too many there but the Other in 05 was a no go for a lot of the weekend. Getting in and out of the field was a nightmare. Couple that with the constant smell of piss and shit wafting about and it made for an unpleasant experience. Check out the no mans land behind the sound desk. I was there watching that. I remember seeing some stupid young plum determindly riding a crappy old push bike through the mud in that no mans land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ive been going since 2003 and 2007 was the only year went home early. I got home to watch the Who playing with a glass of wine still having mud on my legs after a shower. Sheffield was badly flooded, not far from where I live. I was on a comedown and thought the world might just be coming to an end. In hindsight Im glad I left when I did as the scenes of people trying to get off site on the Monday did not look pleasant.

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Basically they have something to announce but can't do so because they have been told not to by the powers that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ive been going since 2003 and 2007 was the only year went home early. I got home to watch the Who playing with a glass of wine still having mud on my legs after a shower. Sheffield was badly flooded, not far from where I live. I was on a comedown and thought the world might just be coming to an end. In hindsight Im glad I left when I did as the scenes of people trying to get off site on the Monday did not look pleasant. 2007 was my first year. Oddly enough, I don't remember being at all bothered about who the the headliners were, though I was happy I had the opportunity to see a legendary band in The Who. As for the weather, my god... I had no real point of reference. I think I just thought to myself, well this is that Glastonbury mud everyone bangs on about. But the relentlessness of it was exhausting. I look back now and wonder if I could handle doing that again, with one jumper, one pair of shorts, a simple roll mat and a one-man Argos tent. I stayed at my friend's in Reading on the Monday night once we'd finally been freed from the car park quagmire and on Tuesday there was no public transport going north of Derby. Nothing. That was an interesting 'I won't be in work tomorrow, boss' phone call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggins Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 2007 was my first year.

That was an interesting 'I won't be in work tomorrow, boss' phone call! I know the feeling. For some reason I went to Leeds 2013 with a couple of t-shirts, a pair of old Vans, 1 pair of socks and a pair of jeans. Five days of sheer hell that was. God knows why I was so woefully unprepared, but I don't think I could ever do a festival again without investing in proper gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye's Cock Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 can't imagine how grim it would have been. I've been the last 5-6 years and there's always been rain (apart from one incredible year) and I spend a lot of the time worrying about what sort of nick my tent is going to be in when I get back later on. perpetual panic that it's going to be flooded. and this in In years nowhere near as wet as 07.
