Panhead Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Saw John Fogerty in Manchester last night. He blew me away. What a back catalogue. He's 78 this month and has the energy of someone half his age. He OPENED with Bad Moon Rising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the last game of the season that weekend so I’m due down in London; going to make a weekend of it to take this in. Nice one! Did you go to this in the end Frankie? We were at the early show. I was looking out for anyone bloated by a far too big breakfast in the morning, but didn't spot you. It was a fantastic show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blur threw in a mini-gig in Wolverhampton on the same date that I couldn’t pass up. My arteries were in just as bad a state as they would have been had I been there, though. Made up you got a good one from McAlmont; I’ll keep an eye out for his next ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather looks to be good all weekend and looking at the clashfinder it seems like we'll be able to squeeze a lot in. Both Higher Power & Malevolence have eluded me so looking forward to checking both of them out. hope it goes off smoothly for you, reading absolute horror stories about the Hatfield show yesterday.

Yeah that was Accident Prone. I've only been the once but that's when it was actually on the uni campus and it was a great venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Getting into the site. Slam Dunk posted an apology tweet and just got rinsed in the replies. Lots of people saying they were stuck in traffic for upto 4 hours to get in and just complaining of the general lack of organisation in terms of parking and sign posting (Slam Dunk apparently posted the wrong post code on their travel infomation page). Then similar waiting times to leave. Then there's complaints of the actual site being oversold and being way too crowded. I attended Leeds pre-covid and had no complaints about the day but every year the Hatfield one seems to take a kick in. Here's the tweet, just have a browse of the replies:   Edited May 28, 2023 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a blast at Leeds yesterday. It was packed and the queues for food were horrible, ended up missing Higher Power again due to the shuttle bus taking ages to get onto site but everything else was top notch. Spanish Love Songs were fantastic, The Menzingers were reliably brilliant and Millencolin were a lovely surprise. Watched The Offspring headline which was a nostalgic treat. Shuttle bus back to Leeds was a breeze. The fact it's only a 1 dayer allows you to he a bit more forgiving around the organisational cock ups (a weekend of it would be frustrating). Next up 2000 Trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2023 That sounds decent Mike, seems the main issues surrounded anyone arriving by car. I think it's pretty apparent that they oversold both sites though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
