BeddingatReading Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Last year they did a lineup planner like a clashfinder. Does anyone know if they're planning on doing it this year? Was really helpful for me last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I did interview with festival organiser - Simon Mawbey. A quote from that interview.... "There will definitely be some site refinement this year, the second stage will be getting bigger and we’ve been looking at how we can make the site the most efficient and pleasant as it can be for the festival goers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they released it last year or just got it on site. Someone may be able to answer that better than me. It's not hard to get lost at Y Not is still a fairly inimate festival.

Wilko888 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 What's it like trying to get alcohol into arenafrom the VIP field?

They don't pat you down or anything. There's actually two entrances to the arena, one it's pretty much impossible to get caught with it as there's like one steward, so I just tend to use that one. It's the less used entrance, it's only a small site so you'll become familiar with it all pretty quickly. The one time I did get caught was when the cans I had fell out of my shorts as I walked into the arena. The steward said I could stand there and drink them or bin them, so I put one in my pocket as I started drinking the other and as I was drinking it, the steward went off to do something else and told some other steward to watch me and not let me in with the drink. So I finished that can, binned it and headed off with the other can still on me as the new steward obviously assumed I only had one. So even when you get caught you still get a drink in haha.

TheDHolford Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just booked my tickets! Been to Leeds Festival twice and decided something a little different and more relaxed this time around, do have a few questions to people who have been before though. Where's best to camp? I'd prefer somewhere a little quieter where there's less hassle from people but still some sort of atmosphere. What are the stages like? Can you get a good view wherever you stand, I know this is obviously a lot smaller than Leeds Festival but are the stages the right sort of size? Very excited for the line up, though a little worried about clashes, does anyone know what sorts of days people are on? Like the headliners and who they'd be clashing with on the other stages? I'll be really annoyed if Frank Turner or Frank Carter are clashing with anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Leeds the closer to the arena area the louder and younger the crowd gets 1 hour ago, TheDHolford said: What are the stages like?

But can generally get a decent view. Left hand side generally easier to get further forward and less busy. All other stages in tents. The second stage is getting bigger this year from last years demand and increase in capacity again. 1 hour ago, TheDHolford said: Very excited for the line up, though a little worried about clashes, does anyone know what sorts of days people are on?

Headliners - Feeder (Thurs), The Vaccines (Fri) Stereophonics (Sat) & Two Door Cinema Club (Sun). Frank Turner (Fri, The Quarry headliner), Not sure on days: Example (The Quarry headliner), Twin Atlantic (The Quarry headliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd read that was Twin Atlantic in that slot. Shame as I'm not that arsed about seeing The Vaccines again, wouldn't be bad but hopefully the 3rd stage has someone decent on.
