If the sellers united to not undercut each other the bargain hunters will have to make a call on paying asking or not going to the festival so that swings both ways.

True but there's hundreds of tickets on there. With tickets fees I'm still looking at paying the same as if I had gone for early bird. If it was me I'd be dropping the price a little bit to get at least something back

It's not the walkmen because we just asked them, if that helps... or they're extremely good liars

Anyone have any idea where/if I can get a car park ticket second hand? Had a look on twickets but no dice. Trying to save a bit of money if possible. Cheers.

anyone got their tickets yet?

Do you need physical tickets? I have them on the website and was wondering whether to bother printing them or if you can just show them on phone?

There are no physical tickets. Just print them out or save a screenshot on your phone

Stop using the internet.

Make sure to download the tickets before you arrive on site.  I remember a very panicked queue as we weren't sure we'd have them downloaded before we made the front of the line.  Internet is super spotty there.

Bodega and Kokoko! have swapped places, Lunge replace Wunderhorse, Yallah & Debmaster still there despite the latter confirming the tour is off. Someone else is currently updating the times in the clashfinder though there aren't that many changes.

??? is only down for a 45 minute set. I feel this is highly significant, but I don't know why.

Quite right, not sure if it's my eyes or my maths. Probably both.

Just back from Canela party. Despite having to evacuate and almost being abandoned on Saturday due to high winds, it was great. When they finally played, KGLW were heavy on the Heavy Stuff to start, then skipped about the back catalogue a bit before ending on an epic Rattlesnake. Of the other EotR acts, I didn't see Lime Garden and Crack Cloud were pulled because of the weather issue. PB&SB were pleasant enough, though not much apart from vocals was being performed live. Sounded great though, and the visuals were good. Will work well in the Big Top I think. Dry Cleaning, Shame, Porridge Radio, The Notwist, Snail Mail and Black Midi all on top form. Oh Sees were outstanding. Only Squid were a bit disappointing, just dull really. I may well go again next year if the lineup is half as good.

Maybe  ??? is the actual name of some unknown group - maybe some "supergroup" 

😁😁😁

Saw Boygenius yesterday at Connect, they sounded great and were talking about how it was their second to last show. Looks like they’re playing NI today. I don’t think they’d say this if ??? Was them ? I’m quite looking forward to the surprise anyway tbh 

[sadimmock]

I'm pretty intrigued by who it could be. Do you think that we will know on the day?

There's been nothing reliable to say so, only that they're playing a couple of low-key gigs a week later and that someone did something odd to the completely unofficial clashfinder.

(EDIT: of course, it might be them. Until we know or hear otherwise we can't rule likely candidates out, and it's plausible they're releasing something this week or don't want it announced until those dates sell out. But at this stage there has to be a reason why it's being kept secret.)

Yeah it seems plausible... they're at the level for me where I'd maybe pop and see them at Project House in Leeds if I had no Friday plans but if I'd seen them at EOTR the previous weekend I probably wouldn't bother...

It's maybe by-the-by but whether they'd sell that out before the EOTR gig seems doubtful (I don't think the Walkmen got close to selling out that venue!)
