Ah, just think of that £100 as the cost of a few months worth of happy anticipation, regardless of disappointing realisation (see 2014 thread full of complaints of lack of loos and water taps) and book anyway!Dunno. After buying tickets for 2014 about this time last year, not being able to get babysitting arranged and having to sell the tickets losing £100 in the process, I'm not going to rush into things this time around.
But yes, I want to.
Got my tier 1 ticket, with campervan pass......
If tort and bob are both vanning, maybe its time for an urban camper crew?
Plan! Although we've been spitting distance from you the last 2 years anyway
You can blame the council for the low sound levels at Arcadia at Boomtown this year.
At this weekend’s Bangkok gig, they’ve apparently got 200k for the spider and I’m expecting they’ll get to use it too.
Aren't there nationwide regulations regarding sound levels, then?
How do they get all their gear to Thailand? Presumably they freight that shit there rather than build (or hire?)...You can blame the council for the low sound levels at Arcadia at Boomtown this year.

Maybe it was the change of PA... The previous system was F1 (am sure you know). Incredibly directional at Glastonbury 2013 - anyone not in the sound field could barely hear anything (and boy did that draw complaints when 50k turned up for Fatboy Slim).
The Spider (and I expect most/all of it's effects kit) went in 3 or so containers by ship.
PA I expect is a local hire.
Plant like telehandlers and big cranes hired locally.
Core build team - the people who know the rig in detail - flown out from the UK. Local techs and labour hired to make up the rest of the build crew.
It's one hell of an operation, especially doing it like this for the first time.
I think they'll knock the ball out of the park.
Not his fault though, is it.I'm sure they will, they've built that thing from the ground up, and with the relaxed sound restrictions theyll have in thailand it will get used the way its meant to be, not with a little council man with a db meter walking around moaning.
