I f**king hate cocaine, for how it makes people behave, for the people it attracts, for the violence in the supply chain (I maintain it is the most harmful substance on earth) and the impact on our communities.  I hate being around people on coke.  This year one particular group of them were on my doorstep and the only low in my festival.

 

As you say, they talk absolute shite, incessantly and loudly.  My son summed it up nicely by saying that all they talk about is themselves and how much they love coke because they have got absolutely f**k all to talk about.  For some coke is a substitute for having a personality.

💯 Mate and I'm a liberal guy. I hope we wake up as a species and stop this f**kin awful substance from destroying lives (not just gigs)

I've started wearing Loops to quite a few gigs now, mainly indoor and / or when I know it's going to be loud ... I took them to the festival this year for the first time and found as an added bonus they completely cut out all the chatter.  It stopped me getting so annoyed at some of the people around me anyway.

Same. Have them on a chain round my neck at Glastonbury and come in handy at many stages

Had this bad a couple of nights ago watching Arcade Fire in Brixton - people only seemed to be there for two songs. Literally couldn’t hear some of the quieter, stripped down songs as finance bros too busy chatting sh*t.

My Dad won’t go to the Pilton Party again because of the talkers, said he was surrounded by groups having a picnic and not listening to the acts

I just wear earplugs all day. If i can clearly here you talk over an act Im watching then theres an issue. But I bet the audience shift this year greatly contributed to it being worse for you that went. And I mean if the pa's were simply louder than you wouldnt have as many issues I would imagine. I dont know how I could bear to listen to an act up on the hill in the Park cause theres likely loads of talkers. Just would feel like a picnic

Some c**ts at the start Heilung wouldn't shut their traps... we did all shush them eventually. They were likely there waiting for Jungle, but what the f**k.

 

Worst thing you can do is stew in your own head about it. Confront them right away and/or move elsewhere.

Agree with confronting. I told 2 loud yappers to shut up during Black Country New Road last night. They snapped at me and then walked off, only returning before Nick came on and were silent throughout

talkers suck - I tend to say something too.  
i find it worse at gigs that are free in.  here in nyc, there are a ton of free gigs in central park and prospect park during the summer, and I think folks just figure that if they haven't paid in, then somehow their actions don't matter as much.
