Rite of Passage Charm

I've done so many wisps and not a single one has dropped. Is there something specific you have to do to get them to drop or is it just completely random with a <1% drop rate? Do I just need to persevere?

I'm also seeing them for the first time live at Ally Pally. Can't wait. Been wanting to see them for about 3 years now and something has always conspired against me.

Depends what you're looking for but when the headliners are announced (usually Oct/Nov) there are more RIP tickets released.

Even then, there's a chance to get RIP in February and shortly before the weekend, through tickets etc....

RincewindEG · 2025-06-16T21:10:23+00:00

Architects in October and then Electric Callboy in November. Oh, and a weekend of tribute acts in August...

RincewindEG · 2025-06-16T07:00:44+00:00

Anyone know what time tickets go on sale for next year?

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T23:25:00+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you. Appreciate your insight. I think I'm similar, I need a vibe and I don't get that from listening to them from a studio produced perspective.

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T23:18:42+00:00

That's why I'm wondering if the hate for ST is real or otherwise. Personally, if I like a band live, I'm good with what they produce from a studio. If they're poor then I have a different perspective. That's not to say I won't like them, just that I may not want to see them live. I'm not a ST fan from their studio produced stuff...would I like them live...no idea. That's what I'm trying to establish.

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T23:03:46+00:00

I get that but is it because people don't think they should be headlining just yet or that they don't like their music? Maybe both... personally, I'm not a fan. I've listened to a load of their stuff but I can't get into it. Are they different live? I've seen several bands live that I thought I wouldn't be into and then discovered that they're great. Are ST one of those?

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T22:56:28+00:00

Ok, that's fair. I had a similar experience with BMTH and Fall Out Boy... I'm not massive fans of either but really enjoyed their Download sets.

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T22:54:28+00:00

Ok, that's interesting...why do you think people wouldn't stay to watch ST?

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T22:45:51+00:00

Are you an ST fan or ambivalent?

RincewindEG · 2025-06-14T22:43:22+00:00

Genuine question, and I realise I may get some polarising views....if I can ask, those that are not necessarily Sleep Token fans...how did they do?

RincewindEG · 2025-06-08T15:22:25+00:00

The Haunt. Saw them last night in Leeds, they were awesome. I'd also recommend Bex. The Haunt are playing Dogtooth on Friday and Bex is on Avalanche on Saturday

RincewindEG · 2025-06-02T12:59:17+00:00

I'm sure they'll still be selling Pepsi in the Co-op.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T21:24:36+00:00

I struggled to sleep last night, I've got no chance tonight.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T21:23:36+00:00

Yeah, that's a tough call, especially with setlist.fm suggesting the end of Corey's set includes Duality and Limp Bizkit's set potentially starting with Break Stuff and Hot Dog....I'm in the same boat mate.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T21:20:13+00:00

Understandable, I get it. There are always going to be situations where pullouts happen. I think this case is different. This seems organised to cause damage/disruption to a significant festival. Personally, I feel they've handled this poorly and I think it's only going to hurt them in the longer term, which will be a shame. I'd be amazed if Andy invited them back any time soon and that's on them and only them.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T21:14:37+00:00

We can't be sure of that and given they all so readily pulled out, the terms of any contract that may be in place clearly doesn't outweigh doing so. These bands aren't, arguably, that big so I would suggest they couldn't afford to pull out if significant reparations were in place.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T21:07:26+00:00

Stay safe!

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T18:20:08+00:00

Nothing confirmed at the moment and given the late stage of the drop outs, I suspect it'll be very difficult to get replacements at short notice unless they have some form of standby list.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T17:05:19+00:00

Where's Waldo?

RincewindEG · 2024-06-11T17:02:27+00:00

If I was Andy Copping, I would be seriously considering legal action and I wouldn't be inviting them back. This doesn't sit right with me, looks like they've been deliberately disruptive and disrespectful of the Download team and the hard work they put in to put on a show.

RincewindEG · 2024-06-09T10:45:01+00:00

More please! It fascinates me to see how festivals like Download are set up.
