2024 Festival

[Stuielooie]

Gerry is louder than two door, but could be because there’s a small crowd 

[charlierc]

Leeds just confirmed neither the Radio 1 nor Aux stages can be used for tomorrow or the day after. Ouch

[RedJosh]

No Radio 1 Stage all weekend at Leeds

[Stokesy10]

Sorry am I being thick... aren't Catfish supposed to be on now and showing on iPlayer live?

 

I specifically checked yesterday and it said both Catfish and Liam will be showed live on iPlayer...?

They're at Reading on Sunday so the livestream will be of those sets, not Leeds tonight.

You're kidding no way?! Multiple sites said all of Leeds fully streamed live. f**k!!! 

 

Appreciate the response btw!

It's been the way for years. Even as far back as 2005/06 it was only Reading getting TV broadcast.

Yeh I thought that... and I even saw an article mentioning that for the first time it's all being completely live streamed. I'm sure it was Radio Times, or similar. That had got me through work today knowing a bottle of bourbon and those two sets were waiting for me 😄 oh well. Bowie 2000 Glasto set for the 1000th time it is!

I'd be surprised, don't festivals well cover themselves with T+Cs saying the likes of "lineup subject to change" 

Theres change and then theres this. This is a significan change which i highly doubt that would cover. They need to be handing refunds out.

[Chapple12345]

I can see both sides of this, the organisers can't be blamed for the weather but equally so I can see why people would be thoroughly frustrated by what's happening 

That being said, I don't see how FR can dismiss people saying that losing 2 stages (3 on the Friday) isn't a significant change 

[Long Season]

Do you think they'll try and put a few of the Radio 1/Aux stage acts will be put on elsewhere over the weekend? Pretty crazy to have to drop half a line up like that

In 2006 when the BBC first took over the coverage, the NME/Radio 1 Stage was broadcast from Leeds.

It was in the forecast and they should have prepared better. Whether they could have prevented it well who knows.

 

The chev might not be open tomorrow at Leeds either. They need to offer something, even money off next year.

How would you prepare for that? The stages are temporary structures in the middle of a field. They could've taken some of it down but it takes time (hours or even days) to put it up again.

Chevron bass is too loud over the main stage. Tried to stand in several areas but could hardly hear Two Door anywhere, could mainly hear people around me. Cinnamon and Blink slightly better but seemed a lot less people.

[CG31]

Prodigy were absolutely mega, so fingers crossed those at Leeds can see them

chevron is ace btw

 

[Andre91]

21 Savage is the shittest thing I’ve ever seen live. f**king embarrassing. 

[Slugy]

Hows the ground/weather looking in Reading campers?

It’s pouring down at the moment and has been for a while 

[BSun]

We are heading to Reading Festival later today - do we need wellies or will a decent pair of Dr.Martins do ?? ...hope it stops by the time we get there!!!

[she bangs the drums]

I was surprised how well Liam went down at Leeds. One big sing along. 

 

Any idea of crowd size for Blink v Prodigy. Just wondering how early i need to get in the Chevron today at Leeds.

[Case114]

Just saw this in the app. Might get some workarounds for Radio 1 stage after all?
