Don't bother. There's plenty of music happening on the other three days; so if you don't have any definitely must sees, then just wander about and see the site while you've got the whole day.

You're right, In advance-exitement I always want to learn about new bands, but that's leading to much more worrying about clashes and missing things. There's just too much to see and do and I just don't seem to learn.....whaaaa

I recommend Beardyman, I saw him at a conference a couple of months back he was amazing. Beatboxer type him into youtube and check out some of his videos, he also did a video called beatboxing chef which is mucho funny.

Check out the bands at Spotify or Myspace
Two door Cinema Club are awesome but the crowds could be pretty big remember there will be 50 to 80 ,000 people on site Thursday and only 1 live main venue running
Dirty Boots cafe was awesome last year on the Thursday and Newton Faulkner played
Also the Avalon stages will have plenty of entertainment so as others have said its a good day just to wander
check out my blog for heaps of further useless information and great stories

During the daytime, explore the Craft and Healing Fields, Green Futures, Greenpeace, The Park, etc. Lots to see in all these places. Try to find the stone dragon. And at night some of the latenight areas should be open. Last year Shangri-la was, but Trash City wasn't open on Thursday, so hopefully some or all the areas will be open on Thursday this year. Also, there's a silent disco in the Park and one in Dance Village.
Bands? I might go see Boy George for a laugh, or maybe a couple others, depending on what my group wants to do.

Don't think I'll bother with bands on Thursday because I'll be doing looooads of that from Friday-Sunday. I usually just knock about resting my muscles from carrying all my stuff down (does anyone else carry as much as they can physically hold at the car, then half way to your pitch realise that it's not really about what you can lift, but what you can carry!) checking out the stalls and stuff, might watch a film or two in the cinema tent though if something good is on......BEULLER!

Two Door Cinema Club and Local Natives are both playing Queens Head on Thursday. Both good bands, but TDCC are my favourite of the two. Their debut album is good and about £5 on iTunes. The best description I've heard of their sound was from a mate who borrowed the album from me: "They're like Editors, but good."

If you've never seen Beardyman I would make that your must see of the evening - has to be seen to be believed!

He is awesome! saw him in a warehouse in north london with some freestyling MCs, a DJ, guitar dude and Natahan 'Flutebox' Lee
I won't see him the other sets he is playing so thursday it is!

My tip is chill at the cider bus and say hi to your fellow eFesters.

Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, and Supernovas on the Pyramid (field) during the day.

Don't see Egyptian Hip Hop. I had the misfortune of having to review one of their gigs and it was unspeakably dull. No connection with the crowd at all.

Like its been said already, its all about the Efests world cup, with pre and post match entertainment from Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, and Supernova, then after I have claimed man of the match
, i am going to hobble over and watch Beardyman
