Wainwright and Shipstones looks a downgrade from Thornbridge (for my tastes) but those Belgian additions look very enticing.
Intrigued by the Bodega do Dylan set trailed in the latest news too. Definitely some positive fresh ideas being introduced. Will be very happy if get chance to see Bodega twice too.
Can’t say I am thrilled by the extra day being added.
Anxiety about missing out on camping with mates probably means getting a ticket and trying to get the day off work.
Live near enough to pitch up and go home but a bit weird if you can really only leave between 7 and 9pm.
Love Bearded Theory but Thurs to Mon is still plenty in a tent in May.
About right on Interpol, not so sure on "Panic Attack"😁.
I felt more positive about the festival overall but an interesting perspective and decent read.
Saw a few bits online about long queues to get off the car parks today. Hope it was sorted.
We got off early but needed a big sleep when we got home!
Great weekend, Sunday highlights for me included Snayx and the excellent three band end to the Pallet stage
Cracking weekend so far.
Particularly enjoyed Heartwirms, Snapped Ankles and Pale Blue Eyes.
Don't get the appeal of Elvana but each to their own.
Think Interpol must be the smallest crowd i have seen for a headliner here.
Queued about 40 mins to get in as decided to go early and the gate opening was delayed. No bother though.
Excellent first day. Loved Heartworms and glad i stayed on for Queen Bee after Orielles. Big Ed is a fun change. Good that they've put toilets in the Woodland now.
Just packing ready for tomorrow. Probably aiming for late morning so loads of time to get set up and explore the new layout before Fraülein who i am interested in seeing.
Hope everyone has a great time.
I'd be amazed if the van is a problem. They obviously don't want people sleeping in the car park but i'm sure i've always seen work van/transit vans etc park with no fuss so if its obvious you aren't camping in it i'd expect you'll be fine.
If you are arriving on Friday a steward should be able to let you know best camping spaces. Walton Woods tends to look busy as its the first one people get to and its nearest the arena but none of the camping is far from the arena entrance really.
Have a fantastic time. I have done plenty of Glastonbury as well as EOTR and Green Man and feel very at home at Bearded Theory so hope the same for you.
I noted the free pint and branded "glass" offer for people buying tickets now.
Unusual promotion. I wonder if ticket sales are a touch below what they were expecting/hoping for.
Same on the clashes. Finally got tickets at the weekend and now listening to a playlist. It's not helping!
Holy Moly and the Crackers one of a developing list of additional bands i'd like to catch.
