Good luck everyone!

Sorry for the late reply. First train is usually around 6.45am from memory. Last year there was plenty of space on it but you need to stay awake as you'll definitely fall asleep on there!

In previous years I've gotten the coach from Cardiff. Not had any problems at all, always a slight fear I'm not going to get all luggage on but it's fine. Missed out on coach tickets last year so did the train around the time of the strikes at 8am worried it would be awful and it was a breeze to get in no trouble at all, shuttles to the site were easy. Getting back got up early to get the first train to Cardiff and again no trouble at all. Bit of waiting around but never encountered any long waits thankfully. Coach is more convenient but the train was cheaper surprisingly last year in the end.

When the Foos had to pull out I think they were always looking at bumping up Florence. I spoke to Foals around the time and they said that they were asked to play the support slot but were in no way "match fit" so did the next year instead.

I've had several dreams where I've gone along not knowing anybody that is going to be playing and think that would be amazing for them to do.... ... although it would never happen now!

Outside the Cardiff arena, Funeral For A Friend are advertising an arena show celebrating 20 years of Casually Dressed in October with Dashboard Confessional supporting. Doesn't seem to be properly announced yet.

Good afternoon, I'm driving over for the Saturday for the first time in about 10 years, proper excited! Does anybody have any recommendations for parking near to the site that won't cost an arm and a leg? I know there is the official one with the shuttle that takes you to Green but wondered if there were any alternatives please? Thank you!

Left from Cardiff to Bristol Parkway. The train is basically empty and saw about 4/5 other punters but fear that Bristol is going to be rammed!

From the looks of the Facebook post it seems as though they are rejigging things hence quite a few bands pulling out. As everyone else says fingers crossed as they were my must see for the weekend!
