Most gigs seem to be over 18 and festivals seem to have "over 8" rules this annoys me as I have a 17 year old daughter who has 6 week old baby so this rules out her coming with me to hear bands on 99% of occasions.

I'm going to Knowsley Hall this year - any of you even heard of it? Me neither, but The View are playing so I'm going.

Wish I could've afforded the 2 days, there's also no camping which makes 2 days a bit tricky, the last time I trained it up to Merseyside I stood all the way next to a smelly broken toilet as well, hope Virgin Train have sorted their act out..

I can't wait to see The View live though! :D

I would have gone the Saturday but my prom is the night before and I'm going a party the night before...

I would have loved to see The Who haha

I heard that the coral are doing both days, or maybe the zutons, Im not sure which!

And there are more acts to be named arn't there?

Yes I think so - oo I'd love it if the Zutons did the Saturday as well! I heart them, especially like Valerie.

A party and a Prom night - you'll be well tired after the festival then!

Yeah, that's why I decided not to go on the saturday because my last exam is the thursday, my prom is the friday and I'll be staying at a house party afterwards and I'm supposed to be in work the next day.

Which I highly doubt, haha

so yeah sunday was for the best. 1-11pm though!

I'll have one huge lie in on the monday! haha

Doe you have far to travel then, to get there?

Is it really in knowsley safari park or am i just getting mixed up? haha

Grace, who were the support band then?

It's Knowsley Hall isn't it? I think it's by Croxteth Park somewhere, and Roby. I do have a long way to come, yes. I live in the area between Windsor and Reading. It's well worth it though, and some people regularly get the bus to Dundee from down here - 10 hours!

Hmmm guess I'm one of those middle aged people at gigs, I would never grope anyone though - the most I can say is that I've been accidentally crushed up against some lovely young lads at times just because of the moving around of the crowd...and that beer all over you thing, it's so icky but somehow a gig isn't a gig without it. :D It's going to be weird when no-one can smoke any more

Wow! How many people are you going with?

I've had to sort out ID and everything because you need proof of being over 16 if you're going without an adult.

It should take me half an hour maximum to get there, it usually takes me about 20 minutes to get into Liverpool city centre.

10 hours in a bus, ouch >.<

Slightly off topic but I can't wait for the no smoking thing! I hate coming in from a night out and smelling of smoke

Yeah, and the parents jump to all kinds of conclusions. Eh? hello?! I was just in a room full of smoke, doesnt that make much more sense? Obviously not.

Sadly all alone as far as I know at the minute but have hopes of persuading a friend from down here to come with me...I was going to say I'll wave if I see you but unless you're holding a picture of your avatar I won't see you, of course. :D

Wonder if anyone else from here will end up going?

    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
    • Vick, Katie, Jamie, Charlie and Melvin will be on at 11am. Then Matt, Mollie, Charlie and Jamie at 1pm.
