18th & 21st I reckon.

Well that's it confirmed then, Silver Hayes next week. We have spoken.

Yeah, I can get on board with this timeline.

Tuesday (Silver Hayes) and Friday (Kidz Field). I can feel it.

Along with Theatre & Circus + Kidzfield.

Avalon and Silver Hayes tend to be the earlier ones I believe, had a quick look at The Thingy and that appears to be the case anyway.

Wonder if we'll get Shangri La poster this week then. I have to admit every year I look at the acts in utter bewilderment, not a clue who any of them are. But it must be exciting for the people who love that kind of music.

Huge day of football in the title race tomorrow. Massively unlikely to happen but if by some miracle Arsenal and City lose/draw we have an opportunity to go 4/5 points ahead. Had a proper look at the remaining fixtures again and @charliercis right, City's are definitely easier. I would still have them as favourites. As for the rest of the league. Top 3 is done, last CL spot will be exciting to see if Villa or Spurs get... feel like Spurs will end up there. Pains me to say it but you'd fancy United for the other Europa spot. But that Conference league spot has serious competition, depending on how teams do there are 7 that could potentially get it. Boring as it would be I think it might be Chelsea.

Awesome, thanks. I was being thick. I think the 4 man he wants (and I bought) is 1 big tent rather than 2 “bedrooms”. But either way, good to finally have them sorted!

Bizarre, I can't see the 4 man with poles online. Any chance you can send me the link please? I can't fine it online (possibly being dense).

This title race is genuinely the best I can remember in years. By now Man City tend to run away with it but no signs of that just yet. Although they have a habit of staying 2nd/3rd for large parts of the season then getting to 1st and not letting up. Interesting that from a bookies perspective we are now favourites. I'm still not convinced, think City win it still.

Great news! Which one did you get? I'm guessing the inflatable one? I managed to get the one with poles, purely as it was cheaper and lighter. Wanted to get one for my mate too but I got the last one.

I've been weighing up buying a Fresh & Black 4 man for months and finally decided to buy one earlier in the week only to discover it was sold out everywhere, think it's been discontinued... Went to my local Decathlon store on the off chance this morning and they had 1 left, guy in the store told me it's unlikely to be restocked. Buzzing, can't believe I actually got it. But... I'm now going to spend my time worrying I've annoyed the weather gods. So if we get a sh*t show I guess it's partly my fault. Apologies.

We're doomed!

I had a quick google of the "participating stores" and nothing came up but surely it would be every store? I work in the beer industry and a lot of the time when we ask people to put up promotional material such as competitions they just ignore us. I reckon if you asked the staff they would be running it - probably without even knowing or having been told. Unless I missed something the cans aren't any different to normal are they?

This didn't get anywhere near the appreciation it should have.

No and as much as I love the place I'm not sure I'd have the gonads to even try. I was camped next to a guy last year that did. He was fairly open with us about it. His girlfriend was stewarding so took his tent in and on the Wednesday morning he got into Worthy View (I think he said) and just waltzed in through the gate with people who were staying there. He did have his 2022 wristband on so it's not like he didn't have something to at least fool security but still.

Wait until we see the new map. Then we can really start GrumbleFest 24. 🙂 Especially if they touch my beloved Oxlyers.

Unfortunately so! Last year was my first ever time in there too, I timed that well.

On first viewing I was disappointed with the poster but the more I look at it the more I think they've done incredibly well. Love them or hate them, Coldplay are selling out stadiums globally. Arguably the biggest band in the world Dua Lipa has a huge following, load of massively popular songs, massive globally and after seeing her Instagram post about headlining clearly loves the festival. SZA - not for me but after seeing her streaming numbers and how big her following is I totally get why she got the bump up after others dropped out. As for the rest of the poster, I'll be honest I knew about 5 which was disappointing but also exciting as I've not got to learn loads of new acts. For example I had no idea who Black Pumas were but my best mate did, is really excited to see them and as a result I've been listening to them loads. I get why some people might be underwhelmed by the 3 (6 including Other) headliners) but let be honest, we all know we'll be here on 1st July saying how incredible our weekends were and talking about new acts we discovered over the weekend. Whether you like the lineup poster or hate it lets not lose sight of the fact that every single one of us will come away from the festival having had the best weekend ever. PS - Avalon poster will be first and it will be Tuesday 2nd April - and Busted will be Sunday headliner* *Let a man dream

Viva La Vida

At least both retired. It would have been sh*t if the bet came in with the exception of 1 of them in just 1 race. This is why you don't bet drunk! Missed that tweet from Alpine but fantastic 😄 A long way away yet but seems most drivers are out of contract at the end of this season so we should be in for a lot of changes. You would assume a lot of teams will be in for Sainz. Only confirmed drivers for 2025: Red Bull: Max Verstappen & ? Mercedes: George Russell & ? Ferrari: Lewis Hamilton & Charles Leclerc McLaren: Lando Norris & Oscar Piastri: Aston Martin: Lance Stroll & ? Alpine: ? & ? Williams: Alex Albon & ? Stake (Sauber? Alfa?): ? and ? RB: ? & ? Haas: ? & ? A long season left but so far I'm not sure Danny Ric is as nailed on for that Red Bull seat as most of us probably thought. Alonso to Mercedes? Genuinely exciting to see who will end up where. Apologies if I've missed obvious rumours, bound to be loads!

Don't think the Pyramid has enough chandeliers for her set.

Actually think 1 and 3 are good shouts. I still wonder how true the rumours are Rihanna was meant to play '23

Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift (I know I'm dreaming) + 1 more would be unreal. OR does feel realistic though.
