When it was at Mote Park last year we had alcohol.

Not sure if it was "allowed", we just walked in with Strongbow cans and no-one seemed to notice.

Shall certainly be trying for tickets again this year...

Wow! What a weak line-up!!!

Normally, these things are pretty good line-up wise but this year looks awful!! Bands are billed in the wrong order (White Lies playing INMWT first on Sunday, despite having a #1 album, The Script being billed above The Wombats), the line-up is far too R&B-ish (N-Dubz, Tinchy Stryder & Alesha Dixon all playing on Sunday) plus the majority of these acts have played Big Weekends in the last 2-3yrs.

I think another headliner will be announced for Sunday night in place of Lily Allen (Sunday has always been the weaker day, The Kooks headlined it last year for God's sake!) and additional acts will be announced for the Sunday to make it look a bit better.

Also, Chris Moyles is doing a set of his parody songs on the Saturday, in answer to the earlier question. IMO, that'll be the highlight of the weekend.
