I wasn't. I was saying that the same people who you acknowledge above would be more likely to turn up to EP. And when they do, there's a higher chance of trouble.

And yes, there was trouble at the WTT gig. My friends were there and they saw plenty of trouble.

Also, wasn't it the WTT gig where that picture was taken with the girl standing in just knickers in the street and a guy sucking her nipple? Maybe i'm mistaken.

There was no trouble at WTT as far as I saw, I was there.

And no that picture of the girl getting the tit sucked off her was at Tiesto and Calvin harris, let's not even delve into that..

True enough with Kanye the likelihood of a number of them would show and increase the chances of trouble, but I highly doubt that it would impact the festival or experiences of many others majorly.

There's 'trouble' at most gigs, I've seen some sort of trouble at every gig I've been to whether it be a bit of a fight or some guys just acting the bolox, but there was nothing there that wasn't out of the ordinary or not to be expected. In regards to the nipple sucking photo I never heard about that so you could well be right.

I get what you mean but in my opinion I doubt it would make much difference, also this is all hypothetical so let's not get too bogged down in it.

Didn't see any trouble at WTT. Rowdy crowd, but sure that's par for the course. You don't want to be standing still at a Kanye gig. Might've been a few lads warned for drugs/drink, but no more than you'd get at any sell-out in the O2.

MadYaker

Time to come back to reality I think. Kanye and Coldplay are not going to play E.P.

I want The Black Keys.

GenieOz

Unfortunately, I agree with MrStuffins. Popular rap tends to bring the same crowd as popular dance. Now the majority are fine, I was at the SHM gig and Oxegen last year and didn't have a bit of trouble nor did I see any, however it's the few rough ones it does attract that would make a lot of peoples experience horrible imo.

Anyway, yeah it's hardly likely he'll play.

BadTurtle

Presumably he'd be even more expensive than Coldplay.

How cool would this be?

I sent off the proof email on Wednesday. A photo of a bank statement for 2006, a EP container for 2007 and an internet banking screendump for 2008. Got my code this afternoon so two tickets bought.

Just checked out my tent from EP 2008. Not in good shape. Thanks for the recommendations - the 60 euro one looks the business.

Can't wait...

You're actually proper dense if you ever believed for one second that Coldplay or Kanye would be at EP... let alone that they'd play and not be announced at launch...

Right, because there'd be no benefit to announcing the biggest act when the more expensive tickets go on sale.

Ticket bought earlier on. Can. Not. Wait!

Boards meet píss up?

BigBabyTaylor

Ticket booked. First timer for EP. How likely is it to get stuff stolen, Tents wrecked etc? I've heard its a sound enough crowd

You're in for a good time! Not likely at all I'd say. I mean there's always going to be a few bad eggs but like everything but ya should be grand

MadYaker

My friend destroyed his own tent after indulging in various substances last year. I didn't notice anyone elses tent getting wrecked. It's a festival, some people will rob stuff if given the chance. Don't leave cash and valuables in your tent. 99% of people there are sound though.

BigBabyTaylor

Yeah I thought as much. Sure there'll always be one or two so can never guarantee anything at these things. As long as the majority are sound I can deal with it.

Saruwatari

Welp, turns out the ticket discount isn't open to volunteers from previous years. Was worth a shot!

Also The Black Keys are boring ****e, prefer some Black Angels! Definetely closer to QOTSA too;

Would love to see Modest Mouse added.

They 'owe' us a gig after pulling out of Longitude last year.

Touring in the States at the moment, but calender fairly blank after May.

last year was my first year & i had the most amazing weekend, everyone is so chilled & sound!! your in for an amazing experience :D with regards to stuff being stolen i think if you have your wits about you, you will have no trouble eg : dont leave anything that is expensive in the tent, just in case!

I didn't know that crew wristbands are not seen as legal tender for the discount, well thank fcuk I've still got my 2008, 09 and 10 wristbands before I took up the volunteering from 2011 onwards, got some of the t shirts and programmes too.
