Am I right in thinking that there will be acts playing the tipi all day? I've not been before so I don't know how this works, but I notice he says 10pm and Mersault is 2pm, so are there long gaps of is there a constant programme?

I don't think its the intention to have a full programme of bands on Thursday

We are certainly lucky to have ANY bands performing on the Thursday, whether they're to your taste or not. And don't forget no-one has said that Lanegan and Campbell AREN'T performing yet.

Thanks - looking forward to it - although we might not get there til early Friday now.

Meursault are on at 5pm, according to their label's original announcement.

Ummmm, so no is allowed to express an opinion that maybe might be a little bit critical. I know I will have a great time as ever but that doesn't mean to say I have to pretend that everything is perfect !

Yes. This.

I have a radical suggestion for those who don't like this announcement.  Do something else.

For my part I'm not fussed either way, might go see him, might not, but it won't spoil my Thursday.

Bizarre that in the space of a few months we've gone from happy that the festival is opening on Thursday at all, to disappointment in the announcement of secret sets on the night that wasn't originally going to have live music anyway.  Perspective, people.

No, I think you'll find it's called 'having an opinion' and the last time I looked that was still allowed around here. I don't like Darren Hayman much and I'm disappointed that he's playing when someone else could have done on Thursday night, that's all and it's a fair comment to make. I'm sure there must be bands that you'd roll your eyes at too.

I don't recall saying anything about it spoiling Thursday though so let's not be so dramatic eh?

Really? Damn, I hadn't seen this. I had hoped it would be better. I'm booked onto the shuttle bus from Salisbury at 5pm so will definately miss out if that's the case

Really, anyone who thinks Darren Hayman is rubbish is a fool.  They probably do not like music that has soul or compassion.  Take away their stereo and make them listen to the x factor or the like.

Narrow minded much? It saddens me that there are people here of the 'if you don't agree with my musical taste then you much be of a lesser intelligence'. I suppose I didn't expect to see it on an EotR forum. I can assure you that I am not an x-factor viewer, I just don't like Darren Hayman.

There's no compassion and soul to his music. I've tried to listen to him several times but his contrived lyrics make me cringe. I see what he's trying to achieve but there are other people who do it so much better. I'm sorry, I don't like his music but I know a lot of other people here do which is fine. The difference is I don't feel the need to insult them for it.

Not a fan of Darren Hayman myself. I may just see someone else

I am a bit disappointed in a funny kind of way. I was really excited about the Thursday opening, a chance to get our tent up early, rather than stay in a travelodge, a chance to chill and meet up with friends from last year....a relaxing evening was in prospect....

Now it turns out that 75% of the people I know, are going to be there between 2 and 5pm on the thursday, plus all the people coming by coach, so even if the people I know are just very enthusiastic that means that possibly 2,000 (at a conservative guestimate might turn up)??? I imagine that the news of ML & IC will increase the no of people trying to get there on thursday now..... So thats a lot of people trying to get into the Tipi. And I feel quite sorry for my friends who booked public transport, and wont arrive until the friday morning.....

Im not really bothered now about who plays on Thursday.

I would have thought there was enough time over the three days to fit in a couple of surprises amongst the other surprises (the ones that I struggle to find out about), and it does seem a bit rough on those that couldn't get Thursday off or whatever, plus that new Tipi really needs to be new and improved.

Time shall tell I guess

[seadragon]

I don't know, the impression I've got from people posting in various places about EotR (not just on here) is that there are a lot of people not arriving until Friday. I guess we'll just have to see, but I don't think there will be as many people there on Thursday as some here think.

[perfectpassion]

;)Thankfully the Tipi was big enough to fit me and Allo Darlin in!!!! I think that there must have been at least 2000 peole camped by Thursday night tho
