Knapppers Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Just saw Italia posted this. Was announced on BBC radio 1. Pretty cool to see them getting headlining spots at massive festivals again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Oh man I remember bootlegs from those festivals in the Untitled era being some of my favorite live albums at the time to listen to. Those shows seemed amazing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Def gonna be getting a day ticket for this. Reading Festival weekend was my thing from the ages of 18-24 but I don't think I could do the whole weekend camping at 36... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I live 20 mins from Reading so I’ll be going to this fo shoooo. Just hope the lineup is semi decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterAdam Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Will definitely be going for the day to Leeds (maybe Reading as well?) but won’t be doing it properly like when they did it 10 years ago. It’s not a rock festival anymore and is full of chavs just there for the DJs and rap artists. Shame how downhill it’s gone. Apparently the crowd is literally 16 year olds these days. Would have rather they did Download or Glastonbury. Although I missed out on Glasto tickets so that would have actually been quite gutting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickay Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I’m holding out for a Brixton show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Chips Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 They still livestream or at least pro-record this right? If so we might be store for more good quality live performance videos (last time being Coachella). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I know that the big festivals in the UK are usually in the countryside, can you get to the Reading festival easily by train/bus? I'm thinking about going, tickets go on sale on the 30th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also provide a shuttle bus from Reading out to the site. Equally Leeds is a little more remote but same principle applies for transport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Yeah Reading is a piece of piss to get to. If loads of people here intend to go we should make a whole thing of it and get together. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that was the case, I asked around this morning and everyone told me they don’t want to go because festivals are too chaotic, but I can’t miss the chance to see blink play some new songs. The tickets won’t go on sale until the end of next week, if we decide to go, it would be awesome to get together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenks Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 If they're they're the same day as Fred Again I wonder will there be a collab of sorts. He shouted them out at Coachella and cites them as a big influence. That would be sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 More pro-recorded blink sets?? hell yeah I was at the movies the other day and noticed that Taylor Swift's concert is still playing. I thought it was a special event but it's been there for a while. Got me thinking if more artists did this I'd go to the movie theater way more often. Love a pro-shot set of an artist I love.

Yeah, it's crazy how well that Taylor Swift concert is doing. Like I said many times before, I'm at the point where I'd pay for a pro-recorded blink set of the 2023 and even the 2024 tours. Honestly would be a great way for venues to double-dip profits; pay for the live show, and pay for the recorded performance (obviously people that went to the show live get a discount)... It just makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, or even for shows you can't attend (for any reason) I will forever be bummed that WWWY fest missed out on the opportunity of selling live performances of all the bands that played. I mean even the people that went to the show (even for both days) might have missed out on some things because of how stacked the lineup was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes sense. I'm not a jam-band guy, but one thing that I respect the hell out of Phish for is the fact that they pro shoot every concert and you can pay to stream them live and/or to download. And they've been doing so for years. I genuinely don't understand why more bands don't do this, it seems to be very successful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I remember when the Foo Fighters announced their new drummer and they streamed a show on the 'Veeps' service... I really wish blink-182 would do stuff like that (I know they did in the past, but it would be cool to watch them from the comfort of home (also like how MXPX did a full playthrough live of their new album on YouTube before the album dropped)). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0z182 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 For anyone with a Barclaycard the presale is live until Thursday morning. Pay with your Barclaycard to get 10% off ticket price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
