Barry Cant Swim has been moved earlier and now shortened 5pm - 6pm clashes with Fontaines now. Raging was excited to catch his whole set now will miss the first 20 mins

 

EDIT: This only seams to be for leeds? 

Absolutely fuming about the changes, was looking forward to seeing Goddard but now he clashes with Raye, who is a must see for most of our group who have never seen her live.

just annoying to change it so late. They should have just found a replacement for Digga D instead of moving everything about

Does anyone else think Prodigy might get a bigger crowd thank Blink?

 

Not played the festival for 15 years. Blink played twice since.

 

New stage with amazing light show. Suited more to younger people 

 

Last time they played the crowd was unreal.

Aye, we're just going for the day and Goddard was our plan for getting in early and then see someone we really wanted to see, theres now no one on early for us to see.

This point holds zero weight - reckon what 5% absolute max have kept going since Blink last played in 2014 lol

 

The size of Chevron will be a limiting factor I think

I’ve no doubt Prodigy are more relevant with todays demographic than Blink.

Catfish playing Spurs ground and Millennium Stadium is absolutely wild. Quite the leap and I say that as a fan

Agree. Will be interesting to see the price. I certainly wouldn’t pay more than say £65 a ticket to see them, but with it being stadiums I wonder if it’ll push £90+.

Surely can’t charge close to £90 when the stadiums are already ambitious. Also interesting there’s no dates in their heartland areas of Manchester and Glasgow - Trnsmt nailed on.

Looks a little lame there but hard to judge really.  
 

Confirm the R1 stage is still small, really hoping they have new screens in at least

Cheers buddy, need someone early on to get in and watch on that stage, as once Fontaines are on its main stage all day.

1 hour 45 min gap between the end of Bad Nerves and the start of Amity Affliction on the FR stage on Friday (Reading). Seeing as they’ve not replaced the likes of Digga D, I Wouldn’t put it past them to just leave this as a gap though.

The Chevron layout is interesting because the LED's obviously come down at the side so you'd have to be in the middle or central at the back to be able to see the stage when the lights are on as they'll likely block off that bit to stop people touching or climbing on the lights etc

Ah yeah good point tbf. I think also the fact it’s on sale pretty much a year in advance indicates they may not expect it to sell out

Very over-ambitious, I think.

Better view of the Chevron stage nabbed from Reddit

surely there'll be an album in the meantime? 

 

They're such a weirdly marketed band. Also, apparently they didn't play their new single at the comeback shows. 

 

Will be interested to see if they get a decent sized crowd at Reading on Sunday. Are they really that big or is it a loud online minority?

I think they’re a fantastic band but there won’t be much take up of seats I imagine, let alone the ones up in the gods

[shlrover]

Anyone selling a campervan ticket? Website says low availability but has none available!

See that’s the thing I’d have assumed new album this year but then they haven’t played the new song as you said. I’d imagine they’ll get a pretty healthy crowd at R&L

They do have a big pull but their biggest headline gigs to date have been this summer during their comeback hype - Edinburgh Highland Centre (35,000 cap) and Liverpool Sefton Park (30,000 cap), Cardiff Castle (10,000 cap). Before that it was arenas, Neighbourhood Weekender and Swansea Singleton Park (5,000 cap) and the R&L MSW headline set.
