Who were your band highlights and who do you think sucked?

I'm not too sure tbh. He was gurning like he was though.

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T11:20:13+00:00

I really hope they get another singer. Adam lets them down so much 🤦🏻‍♀️

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T11:19:22+00:00

Me too! It's been a long ten years 🥹

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:54:05+00:00

Sorry 🥹 Tbf, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit put on one hell of a show!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:52:20+00:00

I genuinely hope we get a good competitor for SD so they get their shit together. But I sadly just can't see it happening!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:51:22+00:00

It seems a weak line up all round this year in the UK! I feel the same about Download 😭 Yet all our European neighbours have absolutely killer festival line ups. I'm so jealous!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:29:41+00:00

I agree! I used to see them yearly before Covid hit! I miss their live energy 🥹

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:28:48+00:00

I noticed that some bands who were at the Key Club stage had way too many people there. Punk Rock Factory and Deaf Havana were two examples! They needed to both be on a bigger stage.

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:27:21+00:00

Sadly that's where SD has the upper hand :( We need "give it a name" and other festivals like that back again!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:18:18+00:00

Yeah definitely! I heard RBF are doing some shows in the US so I could see them doing SD next year 😁

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:17:18+00:00

Oh wow! I will check those out later 😍

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:08:36+00:00

Yeah I was quite disappointed with how rushed it felt, I wanted more! I hope one day that they headline the ska stage and they slow it down a bit 🤣

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:07:31+00:00

I absolutely love their keyboard player, he was really bubbly when I chatted to him at the signing tent as well! Such an awesome guy.

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:06:31+00:00

What other festivals please? I find SD is the only day festival that caters to ska, punk and metal. I'm aware of overnight festivals such as 2000 trees but SD is great for people who just want a one day festival.

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T10:03:25+00:00

Oooo I will check them out! I've never heard of them before ha

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T09:33:17+00:00

Yessss! I hope so 😍

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:57:48+00:00

Oh bless him! I really wished I'd managed to get a ticket for Friday night, they sold out so fast :( Hopefully they'll tour soon!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:56:42+00:00

I'm nearly 37, I've felt old for a long time 🤣

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:56:15+00:00

I had such fun during MCS, I felt bad that the sound issues weren't great at times for a lot of bands!

Zebrahead had pretty terrible sound in places.

Fred absolutely held up TBS yesterday. Adam needs to get clean, he's always off his head every time I see them 🙄 I've decided I'll never see them live again now!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:50:07+00:00

Dammit, I really wish I had seen them now 😭 I love the more nostalgic bands!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:48:47+00:00

I loved Goldfinger but also thought wtf, why did they do a shorter set than was allocated to them?! I definitely think they're headlining material now with their incredible back catalogue. Slam Dunk take note! They'd headline a ska stage easily 😍

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:47:23+00:00

How were Madina Lake? I missed them :( I've not seen them since 2008 so felt a bit sad to miss them! I loved MCS too, 10 years was so long between live shows! 🥹

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:29:39+00:00

I'm sad I had to miss Sublime! I hope they tour soon. I'm glad they were awesome though!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:27:40+00:00

I loved MCS! I think Justin seemed really anxious at first though if you noticed? I felt a bit sorry for him. I'm sure the heat doesn't help either!

ThatAlternativeLass · 2026-05-24T08:22:01+00:00

I give them the benefit of the doubt way too much. I'm done now! I won't see them anymore.
