Yeah I imagine it was!! I had to get early entry tickets and that was stressful enough, really felt like chucking the computer out the window!!

Nah temperatures that hot, I should imagine arent the most plesant sleeping conditions, but anything mid 20's with a bit of sun will do me fine. Aslong as it doesnt rain as much as it did before last years festival, or during it... I'm happy :-D

My friend got his ticket off ebay for £200 about two hours before I got mine. He was not happy.

We should have a nice summer this year hopefully, I really don't want it to look like Glastonbury. Ah well if it rains I'm probably just going to drink myself to death... :P

I saw I Am Kloot last night, they were amazing. I've wanted to see them for about 4 years, since I first heard singer John Bramwell's voice on the song Proof. He has the most amazing voice ever. The support act, a singer/songwriter called Ferraby Lionheart (weird name) was pretty good too. I bought the new I Am Kloot album and John Bramwell signed it for me, and I also bought Ferraby Lionheart's album and got it signed, so altogether a pretty good night.

- Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly at Dot to Dot on the Sunday (I have exams on the Tuesday and Thursday that follow that weekend, so we bought just Sunday day tickets and probably won't be able to see many bands unfortunately).

- The Futureheads which we just bought tickets for, should be really good, although my northern friend isn't happy that he's going with 2 southerners, what with Futureheads being fairly local to him as a proud northerner.

- The Hold Steady, if I can make it to Newcastle at the time, but I will try.

I'd really like to see Finger Eleven. They're playing Download on the Friday which I could potentially make but £72 is a lot to pay just to see one band. They're also playing a couple of supporting gigs down south but I'm really hoping they manage to play something round here as well.

Oh and Radiohead is now next month! So excited.

Is Creamfields a dodgey chav pill fest? Because Fatboy Slim are there!! I really want to see them haha

Its not as chavvy as it used to be but you certainly see a lot of people who are shall we say chemically enhanced as it's the 10th aniversary this year i'd imagine there'll be more chemicals than a branch of Boots. I'm allegedly going although I can't remember agreeing hopefully getting weekend hospitality Ticket for the price of a normal one.

Fatboy"Norman Cook" Slim is rather a good DJ and it's a great light show usually as well.

Sorry for bumping this thread but, The Kaiser Chiefs last night were amazing, Best song had to be Ruby or umm I predict a riot. The Enemy were really good too, their sounding was a bit bad and being near the back all you could hear was squeaky speakers at some point. Kate Mash was rubbish tbh, I mean she sounded like she was on 20x speed and sang very fastly and I was like you what sorry?!

Mark Ronson was the surprise guest Moylesy introduced, didnt have a clue he was going to be there but he played a few mixes plus Valerieeee. Young Knives were good and Friendly fire too.

There was a strong emphasise on football, Moylesy started off the chant/song whatever, you could tell he was very excited about today, as was everyone!

Ahh such a good night, so glad I went :)

I always thought Kate Nash was rubbish, since I saw her live in January last year when I saw Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. On that note, I should hopefully be seeing Mystery Jets and Get Cape tonight. Mystery Jets are sounding good, they've got rid of the dad now. I like Get Cape's new album too.

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
