They often do a resale event much nearer the festival start date. Seem to recall its via Tikel. Pretty sure they will promote it in a few months time encouraging people to register for the sale. You get all sorts of tickets up for sale, early bird, 3 day, 4 day, parking etc. The one that does not come up that often and lots of people want is the Thursday upgrade.
So would recommend registering with Truck for updates and when they publish the info on the resale, you should get notifications.
I have no idea if they come up on Twickets, Tikel etc outside of the formal Truck Resale but worth checking from timt to time.
Have Lowlands confirmed what day they will be announcing? Guessing it will be Tues or Weds and they always do a first drop of about 25/30 names.
As there's so much overlap between the two, wondering if PKP will go with the usual headliner a day on Tues/Weds/Thurs followed by a bigger announcement on Fri, or just give us a bunch all in one go on Tues? There's a danger the 'surprise' of the undercard will be spoilt if they wait until Friday to announce them but tbf, we probably know most of the bands in the running anyway.
The o2 being so nearby doesn't really matter - people travel across London for a big concert anyway. The sphere location was also much better connected (ie not on a peninsula). It was a complete eyesore though and looks stupid - I am anything but a NIMBY but f**k that like living next to a 200ft light up billboard
Wembley Arena is in a far worse location i'd say - its way further out! The area can handle the crowds well though i guess.
Alexandra Palace certainly gets all the interesting stuff, wembley arena is naff in comparison at least for my taste!
