You certainly picked the best of the 3 days. Snow Patrol were easily the best of the Main Stage Headliners. Paolo Nutini was apparently as boring as f**k on Friday - I was watching The Charlatans - and Jamie T was a car crash on Saturday. The others you mentioned were all excellent. Stand outs from the other days were The Charlatans, Soft Play and Dylan John Thomas on Friday and Tom Grennan, The Snuts and Peace on Saturday.

We were talking to a family who we know when we first arrived who had done the full weekend and said pretty much the same, Nutini did a load of slow new stuff and Jamie started obnoxiously ranting and lost the crowd (he was off his t*ts as well allegedly) surely for a festival audience you play your known stuff.

Be Here Now onwards with the odd exception were poor IMO. Some of the early B Sides were crackers too - Masterplan, Acquiesce, Rocking Chair etc. Seen them 3 times inc Knebworth and was never blown away. More great days out than a great gig.

mkowl Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 It is probably an age thing, my peak music years were 1985 to 1992, but as an Indie fan that Britpop era was great to see that music in the mainstream, before it imploded from their own excesses. So if you were a teenager or early 20s then I get the excitement over this. If your own kids are older then not only can you escape to gigs again, you can drag them along. You only live once and if you can be 18 again and be daft for a day enjoy it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now 18 and his tastes have deviated from mine a little so he does his own thing. He likes a lot of the shouty Post Punk stuff - Idles, Soft Play, Fontaines etc. My 15 year old Daughter has replaced him though. Her favourites are The K's, Courteeners, Gerry Cinnamon plus Oasis, Stone Roses etc like a lot of 14-16 year olds. It is her that is desperate to go to the Oasis Gig - me less so. Think ultimately it will be ticket prices that dictate if I try. £80 mark and will probably try for 2 tickets - if north of £130 then probably not.

My boss went to see Morgan Wallen, whoever that is, and the mid-range tickets were $400 each. I'd expect Oasis ones to be similar if they make it to the US.

Fat Eric Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Scratch that, 86.50 plus fees for Ireland so must be similar for the gigs in England. Hotels are seriously milking it, saw NGHFB at Heaton Park a couple of years ago, stayed at the crappy hotel the other side of the M60 roundabout for about £100, same hotel for the Oasis gigs are quoting £628 per night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I’ll wait for the Europe tour and go and see them in the national stadium in Warsaw. I was tempted, and did the pre sale registration, but there are far more deserving people than me who will want tickets, so I will hold off until they come to my part of the world.

cheat Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Just got back from the Rock and Roll Circus at the Don Valley Bowl. Richard Hawley magnificent as usual, and of course finished off with an “up the Owls”. The other main stage acts, Divine Comedy and The Coral were very good too, and even 77 year old Gilbert O’Sullivan was entertaining. Pick of the minor stages acts for me were Bromheads Jacket, very energetic, fast and loud. Edited August 29 by cheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit pricey though and annoyed we did not wait for the influx of cheap tickets. Wife is going today though to see Becky Hill for a fiver so brought average ticket cost down.

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Got on for Wembley 2nd Aug. I'm not that bothered but told Daughter would go if could get the 'cheap' £75 seats. Offered me some at £240 each then £170 each !! Could have got pitch. Feel bad as was in but didn't buy any. Honestly thought with the volume anyone who wanted one would have got one.
