Milow self-confirmed.

Yes.

[thejimbola]

Incubus on 3rd stage is crazy! Hopefully they clash with Mumford and Sons so I don't miss a decent band!

[wee_insomniac]

This line up looks incredible... I couldn't imagine a British festival ever beating it!

[vanisharrison]

do you think that the bands will play in the order they are presented in the list on RW's site? on friday Gossip - Calvin Harris - Beirut :/
do the tickets will sell out soon or it's better to wait the announce of the headliner of saturday?

[thetime]

well after saying I wasnt going to go, Im so tempted now! Just needs another wow factor band for the saturday like the foos/radiohead/bjork for my tastes.

They don't normally sell out until right on the festival date, plus I think they have expanded the capacity along with the extra stage. I'm sure it will sell quicker than normal though as it's a major festival before the Olympics and I imagine a lot of Brits will be looking for alternative festivals before the Olympics start.

On the subject of the new names, I'm happy! Especially looking forward to seeing Mumford and Sons, Noah and the Whale, Miles Kane, The Maccabees, My morning Jacket and Black box revelation.

I would like to see better acts on the Friday still as I'm only really interested in seeing Pearl Jam, Miles Kane, Beirut and Katzenjammer and I think some of these will clash. The other days are already very good especially Thursday and Saturday.

I just hope the extra stage don't cause too many clashes and don't ruin one of the best things I like about the festival which is the easiness of getting to see the acts and the lack of clash dilema's.

They played a V Festival once!

not quite true, last year it never sold out until the last minute but as a rule sells out around april/may time.

burst pipe meant i had to abandon ship so didn't buy.

Yeah will be a while before it sells out.

[ampersand]

anyone here camped before the festival?

we're looking at staying at de klokkeberg from the monday. it says on the site that no reservation is neccesary, but with a fest on before that weekend as well, anxious that it might be packed.

hopefully someone's stayed there that can give us some tips
