    Have you recovered from 1975 yet?

    Ha ha. Class. A great day yesterday sorted me out. A few fine young UK & Congolese acts, some Michael Kiwanuka, Mac Demarco & Death Grips rebalanced my equilibrium.

    Access to the VIP bar comes with all “boutique” bookings including Harvest and Pink. The bar is nothing special.

    Think thats an extra option if you’re pink mooning it

    Yup, €65.

    It’s a bit of an upgrade on Pink Moon site. Better access to showers and toilets and opportunity to book better class of tent.

    Would that include Silk Road Tents too.

    Wife agreed today that family will all come to kaleidoscope and camp next year. I will be relying on you experienced lot next year to help me out on the camping as dont normally camp and need to get it right or the missus will leave after day 1 and likely without the kids. two teenagers and one almost teenager on my own at a festival wont work.

    Few cans they'll be grand ;)

    It does.

    Yep, comes with Silk Road, podpads etc but not with the basic Pink Moon.

    Another addition for that tent could be Snapped Ankles. Superb yesterday. Hoping to catch Life later. Jerry Fish could do us a favour by booking a few of these acts.

    Would love Snapped Ankles.

    Please please let us have this weather come picnic time. Have the camping moon chair out the back with bbc r6 providing the tunes. Very tempted to crack a can open ...

    If the weather stays like this you’ll feel like you have snapped ankles by the Sunday.

    I never understood this phrase about school days. My school days were far drunker than my boring adult work days

    The middle of July, no sign of a second announcement and all is zen on the EP thread. The bastards have broken us. This time last year, there were thousands of posts a day, hundreds of thousands, wailing and gnashing of teeth, people losing their **** all over the place. Look what they've done to us.

    I think that the first line up announcement was so much better than last years, that even if no more acts were announced, it's solid. IMO of course.

    That's what I'm talking about right there, Dave. Broken.

    They're so blasé about it, they forget to announce things sometimes! There's bits emerging every couple of days. I'm lucky enough to be going to both but if I wasn't, I'd certainly be casting envious glances.

    I think this is a big contributor to the pretty calm thread - half of us are headed to ATN are focused on that for the next fortnight! :D

    Yup the ATN excitement is building alright, especially if we get weather like this!

    This is a fair response. And if I knew how to post gifs, I'd be sending a pretty smug one right back.

    :P

    They are just wrapping up headline slot for Radiohead before announcing.

    I actually think this is a much weaker first announcement this year. The Strokes are a decent headliner but the others are weak - Hozier is a decent performer but hes not headline material and not someone to get hyped about seeing. Billie Eilish and C&TQs are good booking, as is the Streets and Jarvis. Otherwise, very safe, bland and stuff most have seen before. Even decent album artists like James Blake - hes very dull live.
