Full lineup TBA" Thats how BTS Hyde Park is announcing it. Anyone familiar with this knows if its a real festival? Instead of having one support act, there’s usually like 3 or 4 support acts, and starts early afternoon like 3. Going by other artists playing there next year a general admission ticket is around £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the line-up I was really excited, but on the actual day I was a bit underwhelmed. I'd seen Faith No More once before at Brixton Academy in 2012 and that was a fantastic show. But the 2014 show was a totally different vibe. Early afternoon, very sunny, weird atmosphere for FNM, and then they debuted two new songs. I thought a club show like Brixton would have been a much better place to play new music, instead it got a muted reception at an open-air festival where they were openers and not headliners. Motorhead weren't bad, and Chris Cornell had a good vibe with the crowd in Soundgarden, he chatted a lot between songs, which was cool. Sabbath weren't bad, I know @Powerage5 thought they were underwhelming but I'd never seen them before (or since) so I'm glad I got to see them. I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed Neil Young & Crazy Horse the following week, he was really powerful on stage.

allwaystired Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) One of the worst places for a gig anywhere. They can't put the sound too loud as they get complaints and it's all over by 10. It's a definite no from me! On a positive note though- BST Hyde Park is always very liberal with their free/virtually free tickets (had a good few in the past), so that's an option for those that don't fancy emptying their wallets in a cost of living crisis!

nycgunner Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I am glad they are alive and healthy and that Axl appears to be in a good place. That said, I can’t get excited about this band. The UYI boxset is really cool and the NYC video is incredible. I just can’t see myself spending more money to see them again with this same setlist, going into its 8th year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausagebrain Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well, that means they will probably be in he country around the time of next year's Glastonbury festival... I have always found Hyde Park to be a great gig venue, but I am not going to bother with this one. Hope everyone who does has fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the shows I saw on the NITL tour, but it's done for me now. Can't go and see the same thing over and over when there are so many other things to see.

I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed Neil Young & Crazy Horse the following week, he was really powerful on stage. The festival setup was fine. Unfortunately I only got there in time to see Wolfmother in the tent, and then Sabbath headline. I was gutted as I’m a huge Motörhead fan and I hadn’t seen FNM (And still haven’t ). It’s not so much that I found Sabbath underwhelming, as I just don’t care for Ozzy live one bit The band was good, albeit the set was pretty short and they cut a song I’d really been looking forward to that they played every other night of the 13 tour. I second @allwaystired - go see Maiden instead 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'll laugh if June 2023 comes along and we still have no more new material. At least the setlist will have to be slightly different to Tottenham, as they had to abandon half the setlist because Axl was so late! Unfortunately I can't go, Jamie T is playing in Finsbury Park on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_rose Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Sadly, and I never thought I'd say this, but I have absolutely zero desire to go back to London to see them again - especially in another large/stadium type setting. If they put a UK tour on the back of it and play some other venues, I could be tempted, but I'm not dropping about £1k for me and my partner to travel to London to see the same rehashed show. It would appear I'm done - and that makes me sad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, the cost isn’t as bad for me but the initial excitement of seeing a new UK show was quickly followed by eurgh another expensive trip down to London. At least it’s in the centre and not the arse end of north or east London like the previous times. Are there any rumours of any other UK shows? I noticed Pink and Bruce Springsteen are both playing Villa Park in Birmingham in June a couple of weeks before they’re also scheduled to play BST Hyde Park… that would be perfect for me but probably unlikely. I don’t think GNR have played Birmingham for at least a decade now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st0n3r Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Jesus Christ, why don't they just release an album and focus on that for now? Axl is sounding absolutely horrible. It has gotten so far that I'm actively hoping that they are NOT announced as a headliner for the festival I'm attending (https://www.graspop.be/en/line-up/a-z) next year in june.

prettytiedup88 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm sure I will end up going to this simply because I live in London, but I won't be rushing to get tickets at on sale. I wonder how it will sell given they just did two big nights here that didnt go down so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 With it being a festival, it might rule out Glastonbury. Even though the timing would match up, Glastonbury doesn’t like to share headliners. Pearl Jam played twice last year with over a dozen unique support acts for each day.

If they came further north I might consider it, but only if there is new music! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Springsteen and Pink both have 2 dates at the same festival (sat/sun for pink, thu/sat for Bruce). Weird to schedule a full day event for a workday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
