Looks exciting and like it might be rather different! They never really got the Trenchtown thing together

[Tommy101]

THIS has made me excited. Makes it seem soon rather than the other end of summer (should it ever arrive).

I didn't (and still don't) know what the competition involves, as I never looked at the detail. I was in a hurry as I had to be elsewhere, so all I did was copy and paste it on here. I did try to provide a link a few times, but it failed for reasons unknown to me. 

I've only seen a few minutes (at most) of the gadget show, so have no idea how ridiculous the competition involves in that respect. I'm almost tempted to have a look at the competition website, but wont. I'll not because I have Boomtown tickets, and because I'm guessing it's quite complicated, and I don't really do complicated. My brain wont let me. I have a very lazy brain.

Getting a little nervous so thought I'd look through line up and hey ho at least there's 4 bands who I'm personal friends with so that's something I can do.. Go meet up before and after.... Not long now was going to start a count down but thought better off it.

Limp Bizkit and Gorillaz are both playing at the same time (Saturday night).

Was hoping this wouldn't be the case. Have noticed that on the Limp Bizkit website they've listed the 12th August (Sunday) though...

Because its what I've been told. If you check back through my older posts, and also from what others have said in this thread, my info is usually very accurate.

i'll be at limp bizkit all day long

I think my lack of musical knowledge is well known on here. I'm actually going to have to look up limp bizkit to see what they are about. I've heard some Gorillaz stuff and like it ( most notably the track Revolving Doors, or whatever it's called).

Hello Tommy101,

Thank you so much for providing the information that you have. Unfortunately I can't access those songs right now because;

(a) I'm off my head. Those people who say that they can't get a 90's e again, believe me, they are out there.

(b) If I turn off the music that's on, then I may have a breakdown!  lol  The piece of music is this, by the way.

No drama Yog, definitely leave Limp Bizkit for now - they're a bit rowdy and might not be so great with the beans (certainly not as well as that tidy Angello number).

Hello Tommy101,

Thank you once again. I don't do rowdy, so that's further useful information. I failed to say, however, that I have managed to save your limp bizkit recommendations, so will listen to them, probably, tomorrow. 

Cheers mate.

Do you have any information regarding the secret headliner for Sector 6? Some of my friends are extremely optimistic and have decided its Pendulum haha. Not that i wouldn't be buzzing with this, just cant see it happening at all.

I don't i'm afraid. Will find out stuff closer to the time i imagine. I would also be very surprised if it's Pendulum! I don't think it'll be anyone of that sort of size.

Gutted if Gorillaz and Limp Bizkit clash, it'll divide my little group!

Sadly, it was always going to be the case, as the have to try and split the crowd. They did it a few years ago with Madness and Leftfield playing at the same time.

£40 for Wednesday entry seems a bit steep?

At first glance, but when you factor in they have to pay extra policing and security for a full day, they have to make their money back somehow.

Boomtown's problem this year is the fact they have had the extra day approved way after ticket sales, so the pricing structure isn't perfect. Good news is that i believe they have had improved sound limits granted.

I'm not really knocking it from a organisation point of view, more as a punter. I doubt I'd be able to go anyway but hope it will help sort out some of the entrance shit storm from last year. They were trying to play it off as a 'people won't be missing out on much if you turn up on Thursday card' so I assumed it'd be like Reading back in the day where there were only a few burger vans open and you only paid an extra tenner. That said it's been over a decade since I did that so it'd probably be a similar price range now.

Sounds like it's all moving in the right direction, I'm sure next year they can be a bit more pro active and less reactive and all will make more sense. 

Glad to hear about the sound, do you know any more details? Is it just for the Weds or extra volume/time over the weekend?

All I know, is they have new improved levels agreed, which i believe to be for whole weekend. Not sure how much the increase is, or if they have a to reduce the noise at a certain time, but we should all get some extra volume over the weekend
