T in the Park 2011

[seanraff07]

Starts today... not sure if this is being televised in England, think it's on BBC Three for 2 hours tonight, but is on in Scotland throughout the whole weekend.

Tonight, Arctic Monkeys are headlining the Main Stage, can't wait to see what they are like... hope they play a mixture of stuff from 'Suck It and See' and 'Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not'... and possibly '505' and 'Fluorescent Adolescent'. They've already headlined TITP before though so hopefully they can top that performance.

[CharlieO]

I wanted to go :(

A couple of my mates are there.

[InOne]

What time will AM be on about?

[Lee.]

I kind of wish I was going now! It's only about 20 mins from me.. I have to say I've seen better line UPS though.

[seanraff07]

I wanted to go :(

A couple of my mates are there.

Same, plenty of my mates are going too and I was asked to go, but the only headliners at the time were Foo Fighters. So I thought nah, I think I'll pass, but now Arctic Monkeys are headlining, Beady Eye are playing and there is rumours Noel is going to play acoustically, I kinda wish I went :sad:

[seanraff07]

What time will AM be on about?

Not exactly sure, last on tonight though.

If your in England then watch BBC Three at 10:30 and it will show a lot of AM set.

[InOne]

Will def do. They've been on great form lately. Especially from what at saw at Radio 1's big weekend

[Lewis.]

A few of my mates are going too. I don't see why you'd travel from Cornwall to Scotland but they are :hugesmile:

[seanraff07]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/tinthepark/2011/

Theres the T in the Park page, there will probably numerous options to watch later on there.

[seanraff07]

Yeah, I saw them on ITV2 for a bit last night at the Itunes Festival, they looked brilliant.

['Conor]

[seanraff07]

[seanraff07]

Not sure about some of them but Arctic Monkeys are just brilliant, and I have all Deadmau5 albums, he's quality.

That does look pretty good, and I bet there will be plenty excellent bands on the smaller stages who very few have came across yet.

[Lee.]

I think TITP and oxegen are organised by the same people, so the acts are generally the same just in different days.

[Lee.]

I have to say that Beyonce headlining a music festival unsettles me somewhat.

['Conor]

but isn't there like only 1 stage in T in the Park

[seanraff07]

I think TITP and oxegen are organised by the same people, so the acts are generally the same just in different days.

Yeah.

I think I'm going to pick RockNess over TITP next year.

[seanraff07]

but isn't there like only 1 stage in T in the Park

Nope, think theres 6 or 7.

[Lee.]

but isn't there like only 1 stage in T in the Park

No! It's massive!

[seanraff07]

I'm looking forward to watching Calvin Harris in King Tut's, he looked brilliant last year.

['Conor]

ooh ma bad then

[Stu]

Yep, T is Scottish Oxegen.

['Conor]

oh cool!!

wait am i getting confused with T4 in the park? or is that the same thing

[CharlieO]

You may be thinking of t4 on the beach?

[seanraff07]

oh cool!!

wait am i getting confused with T4 in the park? or is that the same thing

T4 at the Beach

That is the worst festival ever, for little kids who like Tinchy Stryder feat. Chipmunk or whatever.

['Conor]

ah im thinking of T4 on the beach sorry i saw it advertised :joker:

thats the one with the 1 stage?

[seanraff07]

ah im thinking of T4 on the beach sorry i saw it advertised :joker:

thats the one with the 1 stage?

Yep.

T and Oxegen are 1000x better than that :)

['Conor]

yeah i looked them both up and they both seem similar :)

['Conor]

my brother is camping there until Monday morning :joker:

[Stu]

T4 isin't really a festival. More sort of a one stage, one day playpen for all he worst type of people in the world to gather and listen to all the worst music in the world. I'm convinced it's being used as a perverse military exercise or something.

Spot on judgement there.

[seanraff07]

[Stu]

The logo stuff BBC is using is awful.

[Lee.]

Haha.. not a bad idea but I've stupidly agreed to the Wii going on :bored:

[seanraff07]

Haha.. not a bad idea but I've stupidly agreed to the Wii going on :bored:

The View are on at the moment

[CharlieO]

Damn I hate clashes of Tv shows :(

Decisions to make...

[Lee.]

The View are on at the moment

:sad:

[CharlieO]

It makes me want to be there so badly.

[seanraff07]

I don't keep track of The View's material but I don't mind listening to them live at a festival or something.

[Stu]

Yeah they sound like good craic. Nothing I'd go out of my way to listen to though.

Going mad I don't have a few tins now. I'l have to get 'em for tommorow night.

[seanraff07]

They have been pretty good so far.

'Same Jeans' is pretty classic

[Pyramid*]

Baws! I've just agreed to letting the kids stay up a bit later!

LOL. Not heard that for ages!!

TITP - I love the Balado / bladderd wordplay.

[Lee.]

I think they're a great live band.

[Lee.]

LOL. Not heard that for ages!!

TITP - I love the Balado / bladderd wordplay.

Baws is a great word isn't it?! :laugh:

And aye, I fair wish I was bladdered up at Balado the noo!

[seanraff07]

This is something a bit different acoustically, not my thing but still...

[seanraff07]

White Lies now... not really heard them before

[Stu]

Your mano is the bop off Brandon Flowers.

[Stu]

Really enjoyed White Lies.

[seanraff07]

Plan B now, just saw his set at Glastonbury though

[Lee.]

Have the Arctic Monkeys just bore the **** out of anybody else?

[Smithy]

yes

and they've knocked family guy to gone midnight

[Lee.]

-has never seen Family Guy-

[Smithy]

:o

[GypsyGoth]

:eek:

[InOne]

How ****ing amazing were Arctic Monkeys

[Lee.]

I'm enjoying Pendulum :suspect:

[seanraff07]

Arctic Monkeys were brilliant, I want to see them in November now.

I liked Pendulum too actually, still a poor mans Prodigy.

[Lee.]

I can't wait for Coldplay tonight! Apparently their set is going to be top notch!

[seanraff07]

I can't wait for Coldplay tonight! Apparently their set is going to be top notch!

I'm afraid I can't agree, I watched their set at Glastonbury which was apparently spiced up but they just bore me to death :bored:

[InOne]

Coldplay have 1 or 2 that I like. The rest is just pretentious dribble

[Rob]

Coldplay are just appaling. Peter agrees

kNDvrYstFtE

[Marc]

There are a fair few Glasto artists there. Looks really good

[Rob]

Is it on TV?

[seanraff07]

Ke$ha was ****ing amazing. I love her. :love:

[seanraff07]

Ke$ha was ****ing amazing. I love her. :love:

:bored: We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

[Lee.]

I'll give you my opinion later.. I'm playing Donkey Kong right now

[seanraff07]

Bit of a Wii addict are we? :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

[Lee.]

Haha kind of! It's quite an infuriating game, could be here a while!

[seanraff07]

Haha kind of! It's quite an infuriating game, could be here a while!

I have one but I never seem to use it.

Mario Kart :love:

[Lee.]

friendly fires are a MESS

Are they really? :(
I was kinda looking forward to them!

Sean did you have the most torrential rain ever earlier? I had made up my mind that I would be at TITP next year but I so don't envy them all there today. :bored:

[seanraff07]

Love this song! JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP!

[King Gizzard]

Strokes are the best band there and there isnt even going to be that much coverage :(

bbc you wankers

[seanraff07]

Are they really? :(
I was kinda looking forward to them!

Sean did you have the most torrential rain ever earlier? I had made up my mind that I would be at TITP next year but I so don't envy them all there today. :bored:

Yeah almost as bad as yesterday, Thunder and Lightning probably about 1ish. The place was on the verge of flooding!

I think I'm gonna go to RockNess next year, but I may go to TITP instead, depending on the line-ups.

[Lee.]

I have one but I never seem to use it.

Mario Kart :love:

Mario Kart is amazing! I'm not crazy on the Wii, the kids like it, but I'm going to get me a PS3 :D

[King Gizzard]

theyre like 5 dudes who've randomly met up, none of them can play instruments in sync but theyll give it a bash anyway

[seanraff07]

Mario Kart is amazing! I'm not crazy on the Wii, the kids like it, but I'm going to get me a PS3 :D

I have an Xbox, probably why I'm hardly on the Wii anymore!

[Lee.]

I don't think TITP would have had it too bad yesterday... I'm quite close and had thunder and lightning but not a lot if rain... tonight though just as I was leaving work, the heavens opened. I had no jacket and no belly and I looked like I had been in the shower after about 10th seconds! Feckin soaked through :bored:

[King Gizzard]

YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyy

[King Gizzard]

New york city cops new york city copssssss

It's been so unpredictable here... it looks like it's brightening up then all of a sudden theres huge grey clouds then it just pelts down!

For example... it's a complete blue sky here now, lovely. You wouldn't have thought it had been thunder and lightning earlier!

[seanraff07]

I haven't really listened to The Strokes before, not a huge fan

[King Gizzard]

Pleaaaasssse dont slow me down if im going to fassssttt

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

Relentless is a good subsitute at the cost of the health of my teeth

[King Gizzard]

[Lee.]

Ke$ha was ****ing amazing. I love her. :love:

No. Just no! -cringey-

And omfg! I'm just about to be subjected to Ndubz. :sad:

[King Gizzard]

Mute it and listen to Slipknot at the same time

[Maia]

Coldplay are giving an outstanding performance.

[Lee.]

I don't think I have any Slipknot. :laugh:

I can't take anymore.. -fast forwarding-

[King Gizzard]

Slipknot are kind of a blend between Arcade Fire and Nelly Furtado

[Lee.]

Friendly fires now...

I ****ing love his dancing! I actually think thats why I started liking them.

[Lee.]

Slipknot are kind of a blend between Arcade Fire and Nelly Furtado

Erm... I'm not that past it that I haven't heard Slipknot! They're just not my cup of tea. My brother in law is into them and all sorts of death metal :bored: My oh got dragged along to a Lamb of God gig and said it was actually frightening.

[Lee.]

Right. I'm skipping it all to watch Coldplay..:amazed:

How annoying is Edith??

[Lee.]

Why did Edith just say she had git the crowd singing "I am the Resurrection" for a reason?? Is Ian Brown going to make a surprise appearance?

[Ninastar]

lights will guide you home

[Stu]

Let's better this ...

BLpNJeW1EOg

That crowd gives me goosebumps every time even if they sound much thinner live, IMO.

[Lee.]

-sings-

And ignite you u u r bones

[Lee.]

Manic Street Preachers?? Wtf are they doing there? Jesus!

Dunno who that American band were just singing in the studio... but apparently I look like the blinded one! :amazed:

-wishes-

[Ninastar]

-sings-

And ignite you u u r bones

[Lee.]

-comforts-

[King Gizzard]

svKVgCNad5g

[Lee.]

Yawn... -fast forwards Preachers-

Has there ever been a duller band?

[Lee.]

Fuc! Aye! -bops-

Primal Scream! :worship:

[Lee.]

Look at the stars.... look how they shine for you..


Coldplay are putting everyone else to shame..

****ing fantastic... -doing a lot if pointing at the telly and nodding then shaking head-on

Absolutely brilliant.... I want to be there!

[Lee.]

Nobody said it was easy.... oh its such a shame for us to part..

-raves-

[Visage]

Coldplay were my highlight last night, I did also enjoy Chipmunk and The Script

[Visage]

Manic Street Preachers?? Wtf are they doing there? Jesus!




I saw the Manics back in '97 and thought they were brilliant, however last night's efforts were tragic.

[InOne]

Who's on today?

[Lee.]

I saw the Manics back in '97 and thought they were brilliant, however last night's efforts were tragic.

I saw them in 93.. supporting Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes Bowl...I actually think that's why I've always disliked them. I thought they were dreadful even back then. :laugh:

[Visage]

I saw them in 93.. supporting Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes Bowl...I actually think that's why I've always disliked them. I thought they were dreadful even back then. :laugh:

[Lee.]

...and Brandon Flowers :love:

[Visage]

Cast haven't been around for a while have they? :amazed:




I'm looking forward to seeing how (if) they've changed since the 90s.

I could be in for a shock if they show up looking like old fat men who've had too much of a party life.

[seanraff07]

My favourites over the whole weekend were Arctic Monkeys, Beady Eye and Primal Scream.

[Iceman]

Only one I'd probs watch is Foo's

Oh and Beady Eye

IDdu1Cfbkfg

:love:

[InOne]

Arctic Monkeys were by far the best, ****ing love them at the moment

[Iceman]

Loved the Arctics, but I have to disagree, Foo Fighters were the best band I've ever seen live, it was pure crazy to see them so pumped.

[InOne]

wat

[seanraff07]

nQ2MAGJTkgI

Much better than the normal version IMO.

[seanraff07]

Are either of you going to one of the gigs on Arctic Monkeys tour near the end of the year?

I'm thinking about it but think I'm too skint at the moment tbh.

[Stu]

The Foo Fighters tore the face off AM's performance and I don't even like the guys on record. But the energy they had was amazing and you could tell they were having a ball of a time.

[seanraff07]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/tinthepark/2011/artists/deadmau5/

Loved his set

['Conor]

my brother said Oxegen was amazing :)

[Lee.]

I thought AM and Foo Fighters were both dull!

I actually preferred My Chemical Romance and Pendulum!
