Love Fields has to be one of the best camping sites. I always go for 'pitch your own'. The car park is about a 2 minute walk from your pitch and you are only a 5 minute walk from gate C. Great onsite facilities and music. For the time you spend at Love Fields you still very much feel you are still at Glastonbury, if you know what I mean.
Fair enough, in my head there鈥檚 usually two of the three headliners that come across. Almost seems like the ampitheatre gigs are a bit of a warm up just up the road.
but I鈥檓 basing it purely on memory of bands I like that have done both.
could well be wrong but I鈥檒l be amazed if KC鈥檚 aren鈥檛 there.
other stage opener?
It is curious that Wembley and Ally Pally are both in the 10k ballpark yet one seems to get more to my tastes than the other. Only times I've been Wembley were for Foals (who ironically played Ally Pally on their next tour) and Arcade Fire (before Win Butler's reputational nosedive). But it is what it is.
You'd think tbf given Wembley Arena is next door to the main stadium that they'd be able to filter out a crowd. Certainly was less waiting around queuing after my gigs at the arena there than what I had after seeing things at Wembley Stadium itself.
I think there's a tastefulness thing too. The Sphere even in context in a city as bright and brash as Las Vegas just looks insane and plonking a giant video billboard in a residential area is something that was naturally going to annoy people. Seems a bit of tail wagging the dog though if that was the dealbreaker for the people that wanted to build the thing - if the arena concept itself with a unique speaker stack and screen is the main thing, why give a sh*t about the shiny coating outside? It doesn't even seem like that amazing a business model given it seems to have been losing money since opening.
