Was there an option to have a curry instead of watching his set?

I know when Seal plays he gives audience members the option to eat a seal instead of watching him perform. Meat Loaf does the same.

Given the location there was only bottles of overpriced coddle available.

Missed Drug Church but from what I heard they sounded like a blend of Feeder and Sum41 so don't think I missed out on much.

Denzil Curry....yeah....as said a section of the crowd seemed to enjoy it a lot, probably only there for him, I guess as a novelty once off I was amused but yeah...no, not for me  :laugh:

Thought Chino was shaky for the first song but settled well after that, thought they were really good overall, maybe a bit heavy on the latest album which I've grown to like compared to the previous 2 before that. Enjoyed it, thought they put on a good show and the visuals were decent. If I was to nitpick - Chino needs to calm down on the whole "YEA! WOO!" he relies on it to fill in the gaps...and it slightly irks me when he slowly slides into the next singing note and then ends up off beat by 1 or so ;D

He was entering Ric Flair territory with the "woo".Good description of drug church,essentially the same riff rehashed for 10 or so tunes.I've seen worse openers and they had a decent crowd but wouldn't be in a rush to see them again.

Caught the tour in Berlin back in Feb so actually missed the 3 gig watched it from a good bit back taking in the visuals, got a front standing for Tuesday so should be a different experience outdoor too.

Had a quick glance but didn't wanna investigate too deeply but they have altered the setlist. Presume Idles will get at least an hour, Ecca Vandal is opening up should be a decent day of music. 

Haven't gone to a gig this size in a long time. I hope it isn't lashing rain and hopefully Chino keeps it together as well. I've seen them before and he was grand but going by stuff on YouTube he's very hit and miss in general





Just checked out a couple of songs from the support bands. I might have been unlucky with the songs but jaysus is all of Idles stuff that bad? I may relax heading in

Not heading in to this but hey, if its anything like QOTSA in  there I'll be able to hear the whole gig simply by opening my kitchen window  :laugh: might just sit in the beer garden of my local while Deftones play

IDLES are class live, different beast from the albums.

Wasn't too bothered to be missing this but drove past the IMMA earlier and saw the stage up and have a bit of FOMO now. It will be a great evening if it's dry.

They're one of the worst things I've ever heard, I can't fathom their popularity at all. Sleaford Mods bad.

It's the sort of thing that The Guardian would call wonderfully bonkers in their gushing review.

Not for me in the slightest

Idles are great live. Think this is my 4th time seeing them and that's more times then I've listened to their albums. Just works better in a live environment. Deftones are likely to be pretty pedestrian in comparison.

What time are you hitting the stage this evening?
