my ideal day out.
Ah, you see I'd go if I were guaranteed to get a picnic too.

Yeah because the last time they played London was almost six years ago now wasn't it? They lose so much money playing there.

Bit pricey. Hopefully it won't sell well and they'll have to stick it on the Groupon or similar and that'll bring the price down.

Slightly tempted but not really for an hour's greatest hits set, probably with lousy sound.

I might have been persuaded if Madness were headlining on the same day!

I would like to see Anna Calvi and Elbow again as well as the Manics. I would be disappointed by a standard hits set, hopefully they might pepper it with a few more THB songs than usual and make it worth the while.

I was being offered free tickets for this with a weeks notice last year. And that's not a boast - they literally could not give the things away and were emailing anyone.

I got tickets for this as it will be my only opportunity to see the band this year... plus I can take my 2.5 year old son!

I'm hoping they might appear at another festival, one which I might be more inclined to goto. What are the chances they might do a holy bible set at Download?

Does this actually happen? I never keep an eye on Groupon but might have to start doing so!

I don't know, might do.

Would not be the first time a London festival has had to slash prices/offer 2 for 1 deals.
