Wide Awake 2023

Much better line up than last year. OPN!

That’s the best single day line up I’ve seen in ages. Speaking to pals about going now

Great additions for me. I get that it is still lacking BIG hitters but its a densely packed line up of acts I actively like or love

always find it funny how they censor Los Bitchos on these posters.

And Viagra Boys? Or is that what their name always looks like

Wonder why Two Shell are the only ones who get their own font.

I think it’s an algorithm thing, interestingly. Lots of social platforms detect this sort of stuff as hate speech/problematic even if it’s in image form.

Really good day of music

Shame Ty Segall is no longer playing — was really looking forward to seeing him.

Gutted that Ty is no longer playing, and the addition of some fairly uninspiring names just exacerbates my disappointment

Just got tickets, yay, I will finally get to see Arooj Aftab! and a tonne of other great people.

Got my ticket, off I gooo

50% discount code up now btw - WA2350. Normal ticket comes to £42 with that including all the fees

Which ticket site?

I reckon it’ll get cheaper still.

Just on the main WA one

and probs but given I gotta book trains and accom too, can only procrastinate so long!

I know the price usually drops but that is an absolute bargain nonetheless.
It’s quite a cool little festival really. Had a great time last year despite a couple of issues.

(Really expensive drinks - prepare yourself, one stage not being ready until about 5pm and a few pricks who barged right to the front of Modern Woman only to have a really loud chat amongst themselves. Why dudes? Why? So weird)

Unsurprising given the number of acts, but this is looking like clash-city for me…

Thinking I’m probably going to do:

  • The Bug Club
  • Los Bitchos
  • Nip between Jockstrap - VTSS - A Place To Bury Strangers
  • Half each of Gilla Band and Oneohtrix Point Never
  • Decide who I fancy from Warmduscher/Joy Orbison/Erol Alkan
  • Bit of Caroline Polachek and then either Daniel Avery or Optimo

Better wear my running shoes…

“Moth Club” means a stage named for the venue, right? Not like I’m actually gonna have to be gunning from the real venue an hour across town to get back to Brockwell Park :smiley:

Cola > Bug Club > Los Bitchos > Tirzah (if time) > Alex G > Jockstrap/APTBS > Gilla Band (see if they make more sense to me live) > BCNR > Oh Sees/Caroline P

packed!

clashing gilla band and opn is savage

Alex G and Molchat Doma is a very annoying clash.

Just added the Festival Tag to make this easier to find
