I went in the Friday and Saturday. The Friday was fairly quiet although Primal Scream had a decent crowd. They were on good form - Bobby Gillespie was unusually chatty. The gospel choir really added to the screamadelica set. We arrived about 2 o’clock on the Saturday. Zero queue to get in so was a bit concerned that it was going to be badly attended. Thankfully it was much busier in the Saturday. I’d guess that there were twice as many people there. Think it was busier than the Saturday last year. Friendly crowd of all ages. Decent food and drink options. Had vip bands which meant the queues there were much smaller. The food queues later on in the main area were ridiculous. Kelly Lee Owens had a small crowd but was great. Roisin Murphy had a decent crowd despite her recent online comments. Young Fathers were immense. I haven’t seen them for years and they’re a quality live act now. Fred again put on a great show. Seemed to have a big crowd who were all living it. I saw his Glastonbury set on tv so difficult to compare but think his set works even better in the dark. He’d make an ideal Other stage headliner. Hoping it makes a comeback next year and keeps growing. The half day Friday is a bit odd. They’ll need to reduce ticket prices on the Friday or get more acts on.

You’ll be ok to come and go. From the Connect app - “Campers will be able to leave the main festival site to access the car parks, or local amenities via the Campsite Entrance. However, a search will be required on every re-entry. Campers will be able to enter the Arena from the Campsite throughout the event but will be searched upon entering the Arena. “
