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?

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.

    • 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?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
