Astoundingly loud bass noise Could be the way those acts had their sound design. Can imagine blink-182 and LG would've wanted things turned up loud. Certainly louder than LDR, anyway.

Astoundingly loud bass noise My ears are still ringing after spending the last two sets of Sunday at the Chevron, feels like I’m underwater 😂 1 hour ago, charlierc said: Do you think that if you stood roughly equidistant between the two stages that there'd have felt like a Blink v Prodigy battle of the bands? I know it was never going to be like this in reality but I expected pits all over the place for Omen and saw nothing midway back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll have to do something for next year, serious musicians won’t play if they’re gonna be drown out by Sonny Fodera’s bass set to 13. Surprised Del Rey took it so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds was fantastic as the two stages are at opposite ends of the arena, The Chevron right near the entrance, the sound on the Chevron was better than the main stage at times.

gfa Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 16 hours ago, Andre91 said: Yeah, I did think after posting it’s lacking in a female headliner. I guess Chase & Status could go on the Chevron but after Fred this year, I wouldn’t be shocked to see them get the very top billing. They’d go down so well. Chase & Status have been doing huge shows recently - can't see them doing Chevron right now. I guess you can argue Prodigy but they did both Boardmasters and a sold out very quickly MK Bowl this year Both prodigy and C&S mad to accept chevron i think really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main poster this year kind of confirmed that with the names not listed by day. I think we’ll See it vary in coming years from 4 to 6 depending on how many co-head nights they book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only people on here that seem to not like it, the festival are clearly sticking at it. They got AM - clearly big enough to do it solo, didn't change it. Acts blow up quicker than ever now, being able to offer a 'headline' slot to upcoming acts to entice them whilst also having a more established act alongside them is a good perk to have I think Edited August 29 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can mix and match now, like they did when they regularly sold out, prior to the failed two main stage experiment. There’s no need to have 6 any more, reckon we’ll see 4/5 like we did 2014-19 when it sold v well… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
