Won a ticket for this and today was thin pickings for me so I just saw Heavy Lungs and Squid in the Jagr tent and then headed off. The former intense and engaging…the latter excellent, tight, jerky, caffeinated, controlled mayhem. Really can not wait for Squid’s LP based on the Dial, Houseplants and the tracks they played today.

RTJ were great, couldn’t get in to see HEALTH so saw the start of Bring Me then left. Fine for free and it’s a ten minute walk from work so not bad.

they did this last year tbf

hello me please if still going?

ok any cheap tickets for Bon Iver going still? I work close by and finish at 6 so up for heading along if there’s a bargain going

Looks like you guys got slightly nearer the front than I did for RTJ :unamused:

In fairness, I was actually closer forward than my phone makes that look - about halfway between the sound towers and the stage. Same spot for Idles actually…

My mate had never heard RTJ before - he was blown away. Got up nice and close for Girli and HEALTH in The JagerHaus though :+1:

Any good/bad food stalls? I’m going tomorrow.

EATING IS CHEATING!

But seriously, didn’t check out the food situation. The beer situation I did however - there is one decent beer tent in-between the Firestone Stage and The East Stage on the north side which will do you a pint of Four Points or Lagunitas. Everywhere else is cans of Red Stripe :scream::scream::scream_cat:

Cans of Red Stripe from a dustbin containing water/melting ice. Good old Astoria days.

Cool :smiley:

I have terrible facial recognition, especially given you selfie on here regularly, otherwise I would have said hello. Apologies if I danced all over you :scream::scream::scream_cat:

I imagine a lot of us are going tomorrow with all the cheap tickets available.

Who is going tomorrow too?

I’ll be there - only really know Mac DeMarco other than Bonny Bear. Any suggestions to who to catch? Probs aiming for 4pm or so.

Gwenno.

She has two brilliant albums under her belt. One in Welsh and the other in Cornish. Saw her live performing both. She’s great

The mate I’m going with told me to check out Phosphorescence. I listened to an album called C’est La Vie for the first time today. Heard it about three times. That’s very good. I’ll check them/him out.
