If you mean Carling Academy it'll be interesting to see what it's like in that chain of venues once smoking's banned...and the Islington one is awash with stale booze by the end of a gig, too. I'd love to not have to sit on the tube smelling of beer with my hair all sticky.

Can't go to Knowsley Hall now, booo. Maybe The Who will get a helicopter? They're playing there and at Glastonbury, aren't they?

Going back to the festival blog networky thing...

Does anyone know of any good sites that we can use? i was thinking something along the lines of bebo or myspace, something most of us are all likely to know and use, or something that is easy to use.

how about something that you can text too? hmm

Anyone have any ideas? and anyone up for it?

>> I'm on here every now and again... <<

Why can't you go? :(

Financial reasons. Sold my ticket on ebay - only got half what I paid too, I don't think it's been publicised well enough which is a shame as it should be good. The MySpace Bus is going to be there, did you see that? :)

I'm not going to any more festivals this year but am looking forward to hearing what other people saw and did, hopefully they'll post about it on here.

I'll tell you about it on Monday. I don't think it has been either. I live about 20 mins away from where it's being held and I've not heard anything about it. Not even on local radio, which I thought was suprising. People have only really metnioned it this past week.

Last weekend I saw Muse at Wembley Stadium with Rodrigo y Gabriela, Dirty Pretty Things and The Streets. It was ACTUALLY amazin', even though I've never been so squished in my life :confused:

I think it's being made into a DVD too which is good.

Shey off of here was there, he says it was "like the gigs you wish you could go back in time to see, Queen at Wembley for example.."

Daughter's friend went too - he said it was amezin or awesome or some word like that - he liked it anyway. :)

*Monitorabbit tries not to be envious of those who were there - fails*

Just to rub it in a little bit more... he was brilliant! :D So funny that I can't even put into words how funny he was! However it was at the Open Air theatre, and it was chucking it down, so we got completely soaked! It was more than worth it though. :D

Knowsley.

Very, very muddy!

Queues for miles, for everything. food, loos, parking

drunk + drugged up middle aged creeps everywhere

We tried playing spot the sober person.

On entering, it looked more lik a gypsy fair rather than a music festival because you couldn't see the stage.

Loads of people mud wrestling.

Keane were a disapointment

Myspace stage was desterted.

On the other hand.. Ross Copperman, the wombats, the zutons all put on an excellent performance.

Madness were great at first but slightly went downhill afterwards.

It was good, I'm not sure if I'd go again next year though, it wasn't very well organised.

mmm mud:

Gee - glad I didn't go then. I wouldn't have fitted in at all :P

Seriously, it sounds quite fun but maybe not as worth getting muddy for as Glastonbury? And that's a great picture :) is it you in the middle?

Yeah, that's me.

I think it got a lot more fun after it poured it down though. Because when we first arrived it was really hot and it just seemed like a summer fair more than a concert. There were waltsers there and everything.

Were tops with green hoods going cheap elise?

No :P

Although, they were selling those plastic coat things for £1 and inflatable sofas. I didn't have the patience to stand in that line though. It was seriously about a mile long.

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.
