Leeds isn't getting scrapped don't be silly, one poor year won't make them cut half of the defining youth event of the year 

Even after the infamous riots back in the day they didn’t scrap it. It won’t go unless it’s loss making

Has anyone seen the eco camping stuff at leeds? It's not clear if it is all of yellow or not. If anyone has a spare ticket or two it would be most appreciated.

Bombay just confirmed a secret set. What stage do we think? So far for secret sets we have Soft Play and Bombay Bicycle Club

R1 Dance stage apparently. Still got that gap on Friday in the FR tent (Reading) to fill. 
 

Pretty sure Sea Girls are doing a secret set on the BBC Introducing stage too but I may be wrong.

Am assuming this will be the acoustic/stripped back BBC Intro slot in that 3.30pm-4.40pm gap, as another electric set on the FR stage would be a bit odd.

Has anyone had an issue with their ticket in the app where you click through to the barcode but it won’t work?

Surely Friday name is Yungblud, on after his girlfriend and would explain that there is no gap in the same spot at Leeds as he’s got a show on the Saturday.

Agreed. Also baffled at the many people on there who have their early entry tickets listed at £250 when gates open in a few hours.

It opens today? That snuck up

[charlierc]

It's certainly a contrast given how impossible I found getting day tickets for Arctic Monkeys day this time last year.

My 17 year old Son has just set off to Leeds Fest (from Sheffield).

He went last year but did not camp so will be an experience for him this year.  Says they are looking to camp in Orange.

I went last year on the Sunday and all the camp sites I walked through looked horrendous.  

[Supreme2]

Anyone know what gate the first bus drops off at? Think it’s yellow? Can general admission go through that gate as would be handy as will be camping in eco camp 🤣

[NationClub]

Happy festival day all (early birders) it’s our favourite time of year! Enjoy if you’re going. See you all on the other side!

This. 

Got my ticket when I sent a cheeky offer to someone selling a full priced ticket, but the rest of my offers have been ignored or rejected. Don't think those people are going to get a penny for their ticket...

Think most ppl just don't check how many are being sold and for what money, they just list their own ticket with the hopes of max £££ for it. 

250 tickets for The Strokes on AXS resale, too, all of them almost FV.. would love to offer £40 for one but AXS don't have the option

Yeah definitely, all public transport goes in through yellow gate. I went by bus last year and got in through yellow

[Andre91]

Happy festival day to those of you going! 
 

It feels very off not going for the first time since 2010.

Judging by pics, Red Camp at Leeds is only about a third full. Usually absolutely heaving by this time on a Wednesday.
