I'm not near enough to any of those places to pick up tickets, nor could I make the actual festival next weekend, so should I win any, are there any volunteers who would like to go instead?

First puzzle is called Lyrics:
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
____ said lied I'd to her?
But before she had time to accept it
Hits her over the ____, doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
Or you and your homies might be ____ in chalk
And, all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him ____
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these ____
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Get this party started on a ____ night
Well it's a Brimful of Asha on the 45
And singing
Illuminate the ____ streets and the cinema aisles
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a ____
And the question is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
who headlined last year saturday mainstage
and the answer is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
snow patrol
I got it right and got the following message:

Congratulations on solving the Lyrics puzzle. You've proven yourself as sharp as anyone in Perplex City, and are eligible to receive a pair of free tickets to the Big Weekend.
Send me an email if you want these tickets. BUT: unless you or a trusted person can pick up these tickets from Liverpool in person on Tuesday, do not bother emailing me. I won't post these tickets. In any case, you'll need to be resourceful for the challenges that await you.
Email me at cyrus532SPLAT gmail.com with the subject artifice.
I'll only be contacting the first 3 or 4 people who email me. If you don't hear from me, that means I've already allocated all the tickets for today.

I must have sent mine a few minutes before ur post saying it had gone live. I wrote what i wrote in my last post, then somehow lost it all by clicking back, then u'd posted. So i'd say I mailed him about 15:03/4. Any chance at all I may get some tickets?

I can offer my services of picking up and posting, as I live pretty much in Liverpool City Centre. If by any chance I won some I wont be able to go, so someone could have them.... IF....
