Interestingly cocaine and MDMA purity and strength are at an all time high in the UK. (according to government research) and weed is definitely stronger than ever
Stereophonics are a band I’ve been longing to see on the line up for a good number of years, and whilst Kelly Jones sees modest and humble, there is clearly a reason they’ve not returned and like you say I wonder if in their mind they’re still headliner worthy, and their recent stadium shows probably reaffirm that in their mind.
Wouldn’t be so keen on other headliners, but would love an evening sunset slot on the pyramid. Commercially that might appeal to them more too, Saturday teatime no doubt brings a big TV audience
I had about 20 or so queue ids on the go (spread across a range of devices and connections). None of them came close, but I was erring on the side of caution and didn’t want to get through only to be kicked out for being a bot. There’s people who got flagged while doing very little wrong, and there’s people in Reddit saying they kept it to 100 Firefox containers based on the post that was made after the coach sale, but when 1 got through, it was flagged for suspicious activity and booted out, and then there’s plenty saying this worked just fine. So it still looks like a crapshoot. On reflection, we could have spread our risk across our groups and sacrificed a few people to go balls to the wall with as many unique queue ids as possible, while others took a middling approach and the rest behaved themselves, but it was our first go with the new process and you live and learn. Anyway, from See’s perspective, the sale went the way they wanted it to. All done in under 40 minutes and their servers didn’t collapse under the strain of everyone hitting F5 constantly. They may patch up whatever hole the GitHub script exploits, and may even activate all available features on queue it (if it costs more, then possibly not)…maybe the back button thing will also get removed (my mate that got through tried this, didn’t work and he didn’t spend more than 10 minutes making the purchase, so don’t know if this is a solid work around…sometimes maybe, but not always…I’ve always tried it when it was me that got through, think it only ever worked for me in 2009)…but every year there’s the same outcry from those that were unsuccessful (which dies down pretty quickly) and really, the only changes See implement are ones that patch up security risks and make the process more stable (which is where we are at now).
