Wireless Festival 2015

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

6 days away for Wirelesscashgrab10 and still no stage splits/times. Not that many people are going to it judging by their desperation but they really should pull their fingers out.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Dear oh dear. ISTR we had stage times and an app by this time last year, never mind stage splits.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah it came out in early/middle of June last year.

Such rubbish organising. Been tweeting them 3-4 times a week asking for stage splits, been ignored every time. Their social media engagement is embarrassing compared to R&L. Their website hasn't been updated in ages in terms of acts, half of its descriptions are outdated and the only info regarding stage splits / set times says they'll be released when the lineup is complete. Well Wireless 10 is this weekend is it not? I'm thinking the lineup is probably complete by now. Does my head in. Not even desperate for set times.. just stage splits! I don't think I'm asking for too much, I just want to know who clashes and who's playing where! Fingers crossed we'll know soon..

They announced 4 more acts earlier, nobody I'd heard of but I'm guessing they're the half arsed attempts at replacing Glynne and Stromae.

One of them isn't even a performer, the one who shares my first name is a stage host.

So the July 3rd date is going to be my first festival and im going be doing it solo after my mate backed out last minute any advice for someone going solo and their first time?

[rawaudioinput]

Look out for pickpockets and generally angry people

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Another flash sale today. Because of the success of the first one, not because they've sold very little tickets, obviously.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Maybe they could do with a hand from these guys: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/exclusive-uk-political-parties-used-rentacrowd-during-the-general-election-10339061.html

Bought a weekend ticket!

Said no one ever

To clarify I haven't.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

You can't actually buy a weekend ticket. Which is ridiculous in itself.

[Mash011]

Shame the sale's not for the day with Kendrick and Gambino, because I would consider £35 for that.

It's half amusing, half somewhat sad to see a festival with such a brilliant former reputation to just fizzle out into apathy like this. I went every year from 2008 to 2011, and 2011 for me was the best out of the lot with its Black Eyed Peas/Chemical Brothers/Pulp lineup. The planning for that year was fantastic, cram all the big chart names on the Friday with the BEPs, all the dance acts and DJs (and a few extra dance-pop artists who couldn't fit on the Friday) with the Chems on Saturday and then fling Grace Jones and all the quirky indie-rock acts in with Pulp. Three hugely different days, three very different audiences (teenagers/ravers/nostalgic 30-somethings) but as a whole an awesome few days and ending with Pulp was magical in the extreme.

 

Losing Hyde Park since then hasn't helped, but also as amazing as headliners like Pulp were they simply didn't sell out, I think the only day that did in '11 was the BEPs. Rihanna headling in 2012 sold out in record time and that's what probably made them shift into a whole festival of chart-friendly pop/R&B, great if you're into that sort of thing but if there's nothing else then you're not going to bother. The only hope is that the underwhelming sales of this year makes them look to 2016 and perhaps bring a bit more back of the Wireless variety of old. Or they'll just get Drake back again...

Stage splits / times for this Sunday (Wireless 10) were just announced

Annoying that Chance clashes with De La Soul but looking forward to that lineup in the tent.

[emmawatson7867]

What kind of this event is??? Can someone elaborate it because I am hearing first time.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The Pepsi Max stage is open air rather than in a tent this year, it's an improvement because a tent full of your typical Wireless goers isn't the friendliest of places.

[weston24]

Every act on that stage had technical issues and started late. The stage manager was on there more than the performers.

Great day overall though.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Most people have stages now on the app so you can work out some of the stage splits at least.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Or at least they did earlier, they now appear to have gone.

[NickisGinger]

Yeah I can see what stages they're on, hopefully that's a definite.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Times are out later today, I'd assume at 5

[atomised]

They were up briefly then disappeared again

[JSmurphy]

Currently making a clashfinder which i'll link in here when finished!
