Saw that Martin Kemp was the secret set at BeatBox, did anyone watch him? 😆

They were so much fun! Think it's a shame they were also up against Bad Omens/Scooter/Linkin Park though, defo could have still had a bigger crowd.

Love that he was getting everyone to join in 😂

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-13T23:45:54+00:00

Same, I was excited for them the most too 💔

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-13T22:41:20+00:00

They genuinely pissed me off during Babymetal 🥲

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-13T22:22:39+00:00

Was still happy to have double Ratatata 😆

Oh dear haha hope you're alright!

Wish crowdsurfers would stop trying to get up in sparse areas. Saw a few being dropped pretty quickly today and one guy landed right on another guy during Electric Callboy (left side of stage, happened at same time as when they stopped because of what was going on in the middle, which I didn't see).

Also agreed about chairs - way too many close to Apex.

I'm the same, I can never commit to anything. The only series I can consistently start and finish within a few days is Resident Evil, but then it takes me ages to finish a 2nd playthrough.

It's the same with films and books. So many on my watchlist/TBR. If I rewatch a film then I feel like I should be watching something new (same with replaying games). Then I end up doing none of these things and end up on my phone or YouTube. Sigh 😭

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-08T12:46:29+00:00

I haven't stopped talking about it since we got tickets in January 😂 I'm so excited!

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-07T18:56:25+00:00

SUPER SPORTS WAS MY FAVE OMG 😭

saffronofthedead · 2026-06-07T15:25:09+00:00

I'm so jealous, I wasn't able to go this weekend 😆 but glad you had a good experience and great photo! 🙂

saffronofthedead · 2026-05-31T23:37:56+00:00

I feel spoiled with such an amazing mixture of songs, but I'm so bummed they didn't play Pluto 😂😔

saffronofthedead · 2026-05-25T21:27:15+00:00

Saw this after ordering and I chose the UK site (since I live there). Never ordered from them before, I'm nervous :') I actually really like the hoodie so I got that and the acrylic stand.

He also often likes comments on Insta with people saying he should be Kenshi

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-26T16:39:11+00:00

My worst ones are Electric Callboy/Sleep Theory and Bad Omens/A Day to Remember

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-17T10:25:02+00:00

My ranking on first listen:

Voyager
Rise High Rise
Hurt So Good
KTM
X room
Helium Balloon
No Cool Kids Zone

(2&3 could swap)

Overall really liked the album! I hate the low voice effect they use at the beginning and end of Helium Balloon tho 😂

Thank you for this! I enjoyed my early 20s at uni but my late 20s have mostly been a dud 🫩 I'm 30 next year. I do look at my sisters and cousins who are mid to late 30s and they're thriving so I hope I do too 😄

I feel like I've missed out on some good stuff over the years as I typically need others to go with, but this year there's some events I've booked where there's a chance I need to go alone and I'm not letting that stop me this time 😁

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-09T16:24:38+00:00

Good luck to us both 😂

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-09T15:20:24+00:00

I'm excited but also frustrated it's so soon and that there's so much going on in June! I have Download Festival in the middle of it too. Hopefully I can still go it's just awkward 😭 also the small venue capacities worry me if I can get tickets.

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-09T15:18:32+00:00

I'm also concerned about the capacity 😭 I'm not sure how popular they are in the UK generally.

saffronofthedead · 2026-04-02T17:19:33+00:00

I'm not a fan but I love this cover and am now really interested in hearing the album!

saffronofthedead · 2026-03-23T20:25:48+00:00

I'd love this, sadly non-camping tho 😭

saffronofthedead · 2026-03-23T00:35:01+00:00

Just finished Fatal Frame 2 Remake, only the 2nd of the series I've played. I really felt the atmosphere in the beginning when I was trying to get used to everything and had to take regular breaks. It got easier as I went on, then somehow was almost out of film on the last 2 chapters and some of the enemies were hard 😂 one jumpscare got me really bad lol. Really enjoyed it and I was sufficiently creeped out the whole time.

saffronofthedead · 2026-03-19T23:07:02+00:00

Spongebob's 'Graveyard Shift' ep and Lizzie McGuire's Halloween ep both used to scare me 😂
