The reviews of Bastille is that they are ready to 'step-up' on the festival stage. I saw them supporting Muse ages back and thought they lacked any sort of wow factor! I love Gavin James, his voice is brilliant. I'm very fond of his cover of Book of Love. I've seen Bastille twice, the first time at Secret Garden Party in 2013, they were really good. The second was on the Other stage this year, I thought they were good then too! Maybe I'm a bit biased cos I do quite love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Bastille supporting Muse too, and agree they defo lacked a wow factor, and I put that down to them being a new band on a big stage, then seen them a few times since including in JP at Glastonbury (where I enjoyed them), but really do think they lack something- and they are hyped beyond their worth I'd heard of Gavin James but knew nothing about him, rocked up to the tent (about 200 people in there) and was blown away - incredible voice - defo going to download more from him and have a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScientist Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi guys! Ticket day in a month and a half and i'm trying to remember where I found the backdoor link to the "booking page" that someone posted? It wont ever let you book tickets but will let you fill in details as if you were so that your browser remembers them. Does anyone have it? Thanks a lot!

I can't help thinking that your admiration of Yog's art is a finbarr or typo of some sort! Hey Dizzy, no finbarr or typo... I was actually sat in my mums living room admiring the head he made her. It's just wonderful!! hi all! I'm just about recovered after a mental weekend. I think Barbados is going to be very messy where rum is involved. We tried many cocktails and I managed to stab myself in the forehead with a fork. It really is t a good look. FF it sounds like you had a brilliant time. I would've loved to see Rick Astley too! I love Kaiser Chiefs and have seen Bastille in JP a few years ago. Yog I am on the FB page, yeah there's not much there yet. Looks good tho!

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just had some numpty drive on my side of the road and smash my wing mirror. I'm off to the Shambala festival tomorrow morning so the timing of this is inconvenient to say the least. Prior to this I was in pre-festival high spirits. Could be worse I suppose - he could have actually smashed right in to me. I'm going to have a few G & T's now to calm myself down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lunchtime on hump day, one is closer to the coming weekend than one was to the previous. Which is good! That's a bugger about your wing mirror, is it gaffer tape on-able? Hope you have a brilliant festival anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you got it fixed and have a proper restorative time at Shambala. 3 days before Glastonbury '13 we discovered the timber frame at the front of our 'new' caravan was rotten and the windows were about to fall out. Amazing what gaffer tape can fix! Dropped eldest off at Reading yesterday, in 31 degree heat. His friends were all arriving separately and the whole expedition seemed as well planned as the charge of the Light Brigade, but I had a text from him later to say they'd all set up camp together. Bit mad here (especially me), so apologies for my absence. @Funkyfairy! sounds like you had a fab time at V. @Curlygirl hope you've avoided further cutlery-related injuries. @Quark are you still gonna try for Glastonbury tickets? Make next year a belter with Benicassim too. Expensive, but you can always live on beans. @lucyginger is this post-hump day? Hope everyone's OK.

That's still the plan Dizzy. Ticket gods willing I'll be doing Glastonbury solo as the rest of the crew are only doing Benicassim, then joining up with them a few weeks later for fun in the sun!

Hoping we might find one or two one-off things to go to, though. My mum's 70th is in October, so I'm thinking we could visit overnight, then take gumby jr to see a few sights in London too.

Hey Mr G just Jersey live left now gig wise, but looking forward to that, The Richard Ashcroft special guest section has just been announced and 70 min slot with full orchestra so should be amazing for such a little festival :-). Apart from that it's ticket day, and d trip to Bali and another to Morocco, and a couple to london before the end of the year, so plenty to look forward to :-) looking forward to when this forum is a little busier again :-) FF xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
