the only fights I ever seen were so embarrassing that I'd back Covkid1968s 10 and 12 year old to lay out the protagonists!

It was a bit worrying last year, because there must have been at least 100 kids chasing just 3 kids. I was really worried for their safety.
Some kid got stabbed, but not sure if that was related to the same incident.

Another stabbing last night too it seems, although in the arcade which has always been a horrible place in the city centre for me - obviously might not have been related to Godiva mind!
Some great reporting by the CET about it - their main concern seems to be buses can’t get through, but also take the time to describe the arcade to us, but fail to say what a horrible area it is (would make better and more truthful reading
)

Are they on the same time as Gaz Coombes, if so I'll be in the rhythm tent.

Don't think it was the right act for that slot to be honest Otis and think the poor turn out reflected that.
Think that Friday night slot needs to stick with a punk/ 80s legend headlining.
Nothing against him who I quite like. Just my opinion.

Seen that Godiva put a status up about his son dying, didn’t realise it was linked to that incident!

Was it just me or did the editors know how to clear a field? Knew before I wouldn’t know much of their stuff, in fact only knew their second track, but Seemed to be lots leaving before we did just after 10. left before they finished so maybe they kept Munich til the end?

The Rythym tent was great tonight right from Rea Morris to Kyle Falconer and Gaz Coombes. Glad i went that way and gave the mainstage the swerve.
Really sad news about Neville's grandson, when will it end.

Sad news. Didn't know anything about it til now.
Loved the Editors though. Brilliant!
Yep, some left, but of course they would divide opinion. They started off with the rockier stuff and left the electronic stuff until later. Maybe that was a mistake.
Before the gig I looked at their setlists for the last year or so and they always started with the newer electronic stuff, so Cold, Hallelujah, Nothingness etc. This time they went straight into older stuff first.
My daughter went right to the front and keep popping up on the big screen, which was nice and she thought they were absolutely brilliant and was actually crying at some of the songs. The security kept asking her if she was okay and she said it was because some of the songs were so beautiful.
They finished with Munich and Papillon and Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors were much later on in the set.
They have changed their style so much now and at times it's like watching two different bands. I love both the old and the new. Their new much more electronic sounding album has great reviews.
No Harm was especially good. Appeared like it engulfed the entire field.
Would say on the whole that the audience knew around 6 or 7 songs. Clearly though the were many there who had no idea who Editors were and I saw two groups of people actually Googling them to find out.
Would have been happy watching Gaz Coombes, but definitely made the right choice.
As for the day, my daughter especially liked the Silent Disco in the Paradise tent. That proved very, very popular, with big queues to get in. Basically, you go in and they give everyone headphones and then play one song on one set of headphones and another song on another set, both at the same time.
I stood outside and all I could hear was two different songs both being sung in unison.

'Do gooders' don't have anything to do with it, Police numbers are at their lowest for almost 25 years and there's been a huge rise in crime, (the tories say there's no correlation but I think we all know that's absolute bullshit).
There is a 4 year maximum sentence and an automatic prison sentence for any one caught carrying a knife for a second time.
. I'd scrap the automatic sentence for the second occasion and make it automatic first time around. I'd make the 4 year maximum into a 4 year minimum. Hopefully a few decent sentences dished out would deter people.

I’m sure there were some who liked their stuff. Pleased you did, as know you were looking forward to seeing them! Nice to see your taste in music has passed on toyour daughter
I’ve never been to a silent disco but will have to give that a go one day!

we hired one for my daughters 18th, (a house party), and my mates daughter hired one for the last hour or so of her wedding, great fun! You can have the option of several channels which you can compile yourself. It's quite bizarre having a different groups of people dancing and singing along to different tunes at the same time.

I think one big problem last night was in having Jonas Blue on before Editors. Clearly Jonas Blue fans were not going to be Editors fans. The field was heaving for Jonas Blue and people hung about after not having a clue who Editors are, so many did indeed walk away after the first song or two.
Seems an odd choice to go from Jonas Blue to Editors.
I watched some of Jonas Blue and found it all a bit meh. Clearly the two acts draw in completely different crowds.

Who are editors fans? Where do they tour?

Yeah very small venues in the main which I guess explains the poor reviews

I doubt any Godiva headliner plays bigger venues in general, certainly not at the time they're headlining Godiva.

Very small venues? The next step up from these would be arenas!
What impact does size of venue have on reviews?
