Ira Gaines Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Bert Raccoon, on 30 Jan 2015 - 17:13, said:As someone who used to post on e festivals quite regular, don't listen to the guy who posts under the e festivals name. He's essentially the Div of efestivals and used to be quite good for info but now just seems to throw shire at the wall and hope some sticks. When he's vague about the chances of a band playing it more than likely means he doesn't know but would like to pretend he has inside info. Last year I'd have not trusted as I wasn't sure. But then last year's lineups came out, and I'd tend to be fairly trustworthy when he gets specific like he did with Kasabian at this point.

Bert Raccoon Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Like a 'heads gone' version of Div at that. He not delete the whole TITP forum for very little? He did. He also claimed to have been sued by the TITP organiser Geoff Ellis because someone dared call him a "baldy c**t" and asked for the forum member to pay up. Imagine if that happened on here?

throbber Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Calvin Harris has done about five T's in a row. Just googled it there - he didn't do 2008 i don't think but every year since 2007 he's been there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 No been to t in park since 1999 but seriously considering a day ticket just to see the libertines as I'm sure quite a lot of people will.

Gaz FFC Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I hear Kasabian are headlining a day this year. The source is hugely unreliable but that's what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Oddly enough, that has also turned up on efests, so there may be some legs on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Killers have done it two years later, and so have Kasabian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Also heard rumours that The Prodigy could be headlining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My guess is The Prodigy are taking their tried and tested Radio 1 stage headline spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I hear the site is prone to flooding which is just fantastic. Think the drainage at Balado was pretty decent. I remember in 2007 the rain on the friday was a joke and on friday night the mud was unreal but then overnight and with a bit of sunshine the mud had turned hard and you could walk on it easily enough without too much difficulty. The new site may not have such solid ground and if its in an flood prone area with poor drainage we could end up with people drowning at the festival like happened at Glasto. Kasabian better not headline as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Aye, if they don't confront the camping situation, I'm ruling myself out completely. Not like I don't have a better festival lined up for later in the summer anyways so I won't exactly miss it. The rain and mud was horrific in 2012. Funny as well, sitting outside my tent watching all of the defeated souls leaving the campsite on the Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I wasn't there in 2012 and didn't regret it at all 2010 was shite for rain to the point that the weekend was almost ruined but 2012 was just a total wash out, been to other festivals when its been like that and theres nothing worse as you pay a lot of money, spend time looking forward to it, take valuable holidays and then end up having a horrible time.

Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This site isn't just prone to flooding btw. It could be washed away. The last site was prone to flooding too and nowt much was said because ultimately, it wasn't a massive hazard. This time it could be, and I'm not playing with my health at a festival. 2012 was bad for weather, but f**k it, I had a great time every night. If you go to a festival, you should always be aware that there's a risk of that happening. Watching people who had wasted 200 quid leaving on the Saturday morning ( before Stone Roses btw, and many folk who left had their t-shirt on ), struck me as totally weird. Did they not know what the deal was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You can still know what the deal was but the sheer misery of being out in it was obviously too much - theres not much fun in going to a drenched tent and risking hypothermia and all the stuff you brought with you being absolutely soaked is there? f**k it, i worked in the building trade in Scotland and had to work outside in all sorts so f**k having to fight against this shite in my holidays as well!! No idea why they would have chosen a location like this if that is the case, absolutely ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 For two weeks people were warned of flooding. If you didn't want your stuff soaked, get an inflatable mattress. I did that and it worked an absolute treat. Nothing soaked. Also try and get a tent that actually is half decent. Most people seemed to be pretty sensible with their tents, as they would be, because they're not idiots, so didn't get completely flooded out. If you simply can't take it then fair enough. The other stuff is bad excuses and things that could easily have been sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 For anyone local and/or interested... keep TiTP in Auchterarder/Scotland; here's the link to SUPPORT and comment http://planningapps.pkc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=NI7Z58MKGUR00 Last I read they'd be moving campsite higher up upon SEPAs advice.
