With one week to go when are they going to announce the timings. Are they going to run a schedule like download with the first few bands having 20-30 mins or like glastonbury giving a longer duration to the lower bands and also what time will the headliners close the show?

[biffoire]

Times will be posted online before the gig apparently. Should save 8 quid on a lanyard!!

I think main stage has to finish at 11. So headliners will be on about 9.

[she bangs the drums]

The stage times will be on the main website by 7pm tonight according to Facebook....

Na that's the same with all festivals in England as far as I know. I remember them saying it about Knebworth because of sound issues etc. Bohemia goes on until like 3/4am though.

I've heard that the curfews are:-

Main Stage 11pm

Bohemia 12am followed by dj's etc until 3/4am with reduced noise limits in place after midnight

Its most likely Machine Head.

Anyone see this bit just before the times

"And by the way, we promise that none of our headliners play other major UK festival. (When we say exclusive, we mean exclusive!)"

It doesn't look big, doesn't look clever. You're running a festival, so trying to tear chunks out of the competition (obviously referring to fnm at download), isn't healthy or mature. It also looks ridiculous when such "exclusive" headliners have failed to secure a sell out. I'm still tempted since tickets are going for peanuts, the only bands i'd really be arsed about are nin (who i've seen twice on this tour anyway), and metallica, a band that after waiting 4-5 years to finally see them, i've managed to see every summer since then, and they did an arena tour before that! hardly exclusive.

nin at half 6, a band who love their light show, fools!

on the up side, just noticed me vs hero are on the lineup, i went to school with one of them haha

The stage times have worked out quite well for me with two exciting UK bands playing at the time when there are bands I don't want to see.

Sylosis are on when Taking Back Sunday are playing

Young Guns when Heaven and Who

and also Corey Taylor is on when Feeder are playing which is good

I've nearly got everything packed now and looking forward to the festival, the Sunday does look pretty good now the times have been announced.

Lets hope for some dry weather.
