[CaledonianGonzo]

I've seen Michael Rother live before and it slapped way, way harder than one might expect.

I’d be knackered from the initial running around at the start of the day, but:

Wolf Alice > Saosin  > Car Seat Headrest > Mayday Parade > Atreyu > Glassjaw > The Used > AFI > Jimmy Eat World > Taking Back Sunday > A Day to Remember > Avril Lavigne > Bright Eyes > Bring Me the Horizon > Paramore > My Chemical Romance

Tbh those splits would work out incredibly well for me as I’d just be at the main stages most of the time. Hope it all goes off without a hitch because that run of acts is like a wet dream for a younger me (and, who am I kidding, I’d go wild over it at my current age too).

Your ability to take a comment and turn it into some bullshit statement that nobody actually said remains unmatched.

Not my music taste so would save my 500$+ or whatever it is for something where the headliners get longer than 60 minutes 😂

Besides  I was just correcting you here, i've only been to 1 festival with more than about 10 stages let alone 20.

Looking at that schedule with ~30 minute sets and 10-15 minute changeovers on 3 of the stages.

Ouch. No band put in that position is being set up to deliver their best.

Wolf Alice, AFI, JEW, FYS, ADTR, Avril Lavigne, BMTH, Paramore, MCR. It's a good run but the amount of songs which was always going to be the case that you are going to hear from some of the lesser options just leave you wanting to see them on their own tour. I have virtually nothing after Wolf Alice though for 4 hours. If I lived there I would pay it but it's questionable at the price it is and the time you'll get from bands.

So tell me why The Warped Tour ran for 25 years with the same format of 30 min sets? 
 

And yeah, the formula was tried in true for a quarter century and Warped was a great value when you went because even at the last few years it was still a great bargain at $45 after fees. I paid under or around $30 for about 10 years. 
 

this was the schedule for the last one I attended in 2018. Theres a bit of the bands playing in Vegas next week on it. Also, even more acts than in Vegas but they made it work. 
 

May I also point out that the festival is allowing re entry. So you could go hit up the casino or grab a much more affordable bite to eat than inside.

Being able to do something is not the same as being able to get the most out of something.

Just what i want, hit up a casino in the middle of the day at a music festival 😂

You answered your own question. The price of this vs the price of WWWYF vs the size of the bands. Many of these even the bigger one's can cover 30/40 mins of what people want to hear for $45.

The WWWYF schedule isn't as bad as I thought it might be and I'm open to seeing how it goes. Bu there is a few bands there that I straight away would rather not see at a festival on a 40 minute set and wait for an indoor show with another 40 minutes.

Blink 182 prices:

£103.20 front standing

£80.70 rear standing

seats start at £52

Double what I paid a few years ago, and I hate the the half and half standing areas. I'm out.

Went up to £112 for the front pit with fees.

Is this the new standard or just greed? Insane money. Makes me think our highest estimations for Glastonbury may be optimistic

Sam Fender announced dates for the 23rd and 25th June in Dublin and Belfast. That'll be him out.

Not a massive surprise, subbed last year and there's nowhere left to go but the big one.

He'll be back to headline 24/25 I'm sure.

AMs tour isn't cheap but given they are a far bigger band over here, its pretty clear to say greed / priced only off the fact they've not toured with that lineup for 10 years
