hour perhaps? maybe hour 15..

Festival headliners usually do min 1hr 30. Iv seen Metallica do almost 3, I was knackered by the end.

Have my tickets now, staying at Swallow hotel Saturday night, thenwith Ross/Eilidh on Sun/Mon. Trains booked also. Cannae wait.

Shweet.

Me and my mate are thinking of getting a hotel room somewhere now, maybe the Hilton, not sure.

Id move fast. Newcastle on a bank holiday, never mind during a festival, is RAMMED. There were plenty sold out when i booked 2 weeks ago and others charging more than standard.

There was an ad for Evo in the Daily Record today. Made me smile. Its the start of a hectic festival season for me.

Yeah, getting it booked tomorrow I think.

Me and my sis have a room for us on the monday night. Pretty expencive as its bank holiday.

What hotel's that?

Think ended up with travelodge, about £50 for one night.

Ah right. Think me and my mate are gonna go to the hilton, supposedly [still very skeptical lol] works out at £79 each for 2 nights.

£79 each! Why are you choosing to spend that much? are you rich or something haha

To me that's not too bad? It's not £79 per night like. £158 total for the stay.

And no, I am faaar from rich aha


So was that £50 for the room for 1 night? Now you say it, what we're gonna get does sound rather expensive. But when i looked at tlodge and that they seemed just as dear

Comes to £52 for the night, think its either a double or a family room. Can't remember. There were some tlodges near by for £60 something a night though. Maybe thats what you saw.

Possibly. ah it don't bother me really, you only live once and all that lol.

I'm only going for the Monday, and driving there and back the same day, well into the early hours of Tuesday for the return. Will stick at 2 pints cider, and no drink within 3 hours of the end.

Im more than happy to bunk on the floor of Eilidhs room for 2 nights haha.

Everything Everything, who Malky and I went to see on monday night, are playing on ES day. I suggest you check em out!

What time does venue open? I seem to remember reading it on here but i can't find it now, hmmm.

Take it ES'll be on at night, aye?

General rule of thumb, being a headliner, you don't exactly play first.

Majority of festivals Iv been to, music starts about 1, arena opens about 12.

Cool Thanks

Guys just to let you all know I've got a room booked at Whitemare Pool Travelodge for the Sunday and Monday so let me know if you need somewhere to stay - add me on facebook or my number's 07702642703

lol this room is gonna be paccccccccccccked:) so who is all going?

Should we maybe get a second?

Might be an idea haha, just get another one for the Monday night or something? Depends on how many there are staying, not sure yet of an exact number or that haha.

In the process of convincing my [non-shikari fan] mate to come party with y'all. If I can't convince him, guess I gotta wait ages to meet up with everyone :-\

Yeah you gotta meet us and get down an dirty in the pits.
