A link would be useless unless you've got the apple news app and (probably) a subscription, but I'm sure there's a way... Yeah, I’ve read that now, that reads as pretty typical for them, doesn’t actually push the new album just talks about old times! There’s this one guy on VT has been to a Nick Reynold’s house party, didn’t invite me but did bloody tell me about it! How twisted is that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 So Green day are playing at the electric ballroom in Camden on Friday .. about 1500 capacity Ticketmaster did it as a raffle , Mrs H wanted to go with the daughter so we entered It will surprise no one to find that we weren't successful in the raffle , however the non transferable tickets can now be purchased for £800 on various websites I doubt a single "fan" got anywhere near those tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I've spent a grand on this shit, I'm gutted Maybe 15-20 bands in the smallprint I want to see, but **** me that's an absolutely dreadful set of headliners, a bloody far cry from Metallica, BMTH and Slipknot last year. Can see myself not going near the mainstage all weekend. We locked in early because the festival is always fun, and it's so convenient, but it'll be Hellfest next time around, I reckon.

GarethRDR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If they're not already on your hitlist, can I heartily recommend Callous Daoboys, Karnivool and Vukovi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This is an incredibly long shot, but for anyone Southampton-based-or-adjacent, I've got two tickets going spare to tomorrow night's Garth Marenghi book tour at MAST Mayflower studios (only a ~10 min walk from the central train station), free to a good home and you get the added bonus of meeting me and my wife. What a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Maybe one for the Things that cheer you up thread too just grabbed tickets to see Ty Segall at Camden Roundhouse next June - one of many artists (but very high up) on my bucket list of bands to see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower down does look a bit better but those are terrible headliners! TBF, Offspring and Machine Head would both be fun as well as Pantera (don't really consider it to be Pantera though) and Sum 41 for the nostalgia, but I think the highest level band that I would like to see but haven't is probably Heilun; so yeah.... Never been to Hellfest but it an incredible reputation and sells out quickly (think it already has for next year). However, looking at the announced line up its not dissimilar to Download, save for the inclusion of Foo Fighters. However, their undercards tend to be amazing and based more around specific genres for each stage. Graspop in Belgium is brilliant, although it has been about 10 years since I've been. It tends to get a lot of the same bands as Hellfest. You can get a dirt cheap flight to Eindhoven and there's a direct coach from Eindhoven airport and/or train station to the festival site as well; so we got the bus to the train station, hired a locker to put bags in and then go all day drinking in Eindhoven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 As far as I know, the bands announced for Hellfest so far are for one day, and as you say, it pretty much matches Download, so it'll be interesting to see who else they pull in. Sleeps are the biggest band on that list I'm interested in seeing. Maybe Machine Head. I do like Pantera's music, but yeah, not enough to go and watch a cover band fronted by a white supremacist, **** that guy in particular 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like continuing with Motorhead without Lemmy; just a cash grab on the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like Download really struggle with headliners. They either bring out the safe options every few years (Maiden, Slipknot, Metallica, Kiss etc etc) or they'll just get it horribly wrong. Some good bands still playing (Karnivool especially), will wait and see who else gets announced though. Very underwhelming so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleksnes Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I saw PJ Harvey not many days ago. She still is so fantastic. What an artist. Have been loving her since i discovered her when her second album was released. Amazed by how she never disappoints. Never. Not one single time.

Edit - went directly to the Roundhouse website and got 4 .. reckon it must be an admin thing as Tickemaster and co still saying none available Going back to this, just found out that cocaine addled Mac can no longer hit the high notes and there’s a female backstage that sings them for him. We’re trying to blag the guest list and Will says”I don’t want anyone to see us” … make of that what you want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
