    It does get pretty packed. I advise getting in early to get a good spot. Nothing worse than being stuck up near the back at Tripod.

    Hopefully this won't be full of idiots who think the quiet bits of songs are an invitation to chat to their mates at loud volumes.

    I don't believe there will be any more tickets available once these ones sell out.

    I am going to deck anyone who starts yapping, tripod seems to take all the yappers from whelans and places them right beside where I like to stand :mad:

    If you're going to get bored and yap away like you did at Explosions in the Sky then kindly do it at the bar because there'll be other people around you who want to listen to the music, not your conversation.

    It'll be loud and quiet. That's how they work.

    It's still the worst gig I've being to. I've seen Godspeed before and can assure you there was no opportunity to talk or be heard. The sound Engineer messed up big time imo for that explosions gig.

    Godspeed have done nothing since Yanqui. Who knows what they'll do. I imagine there'll be some new material though.

    It wasn't the sound engineer's fault, Explosions were just boring as ****.

    Explosions in the sky gig in tripod was a complete disaster sound wise. The worst part was there was clearly a problem and half crowd were talking and the other half shushing them. I remember looking forward to that gig for ages and being so bitterly disappointed after.

    I didn't get tickets for this GYBE gig but hoping to get my hands on some during the week. Could be a long time before they come back, if ever!

    Reports from ATP are sounding good. Apparently they played a good mix of material from across their albums.

    This could be fantastic.
