    Yeah dont take glass.

    The only issue I potentially see is that they issues different wristbands, over and under 18s. If they did get asked for ID when going in then they wouldn't be able to buy (alcohol obv) from the bars during the weekend.

    I have no idea if they are very strict though. You could well be fine.

    Yeah, I know that they won't be able to buy once in, but going through I was just wondering. I mean it wont be that much alcohol, and it won't be in glass so I think they may let anyone in to the campsite with it, just not into the arena.

    hi, responding to your alcohol question. you will have no problems in the camping area so long as you have no glass, but when you enter main arena security go through all your bags, quite tricky to get drinks in. they even take bottles of soft drinks off you if they have been opened!you will have to think of somewhere else to hide your cans! if you were over twelve last year, you were given an adult wristband, hope this helps.

    Even if they are 17? I'm not going to take any into the arena, and I thought there was a kids wristband, and a under 18/over 18. But going through where they check bags, you don't have a wristband on so it should be ok I guess.

    Thanks, I think my friends will be find going through security, just not going to try into the arena. I've heard many festivals don't bother confiscating under age drinkers, that is going to camp, as they aren't exactly 5 years under or something like that.

    Thanks for your help.

    £170 for weekend ticket! List of improvements:

    - Second bridge across the lake

    - Increasing the size of the arena

    - Larger arena entrance

    - Increased numbers of security

    - Improved water supply site wide

    - Investment in campsite facilities

    - Larger Poetry and Literary arenas

    - All longdrop toilets in the arena to be replaced with portable toilets

    - Overall more toilet units in the arena

    - Segregated new toilet blocks with improved lighting in the arena and campsites

    - Female urinals in the arena

    - Increased number of seating areas in the arena

    ...Also, anyone know how they are for taking drink in? My 2 friends are both 17, so was hoping for them to take some in bottom of bags etc. I heard they aren't too fussed unless glass, true?

    Yeah they are uk exclusives at the moment, but that might change, maybe. Well I don't really care, but if your a fan, hopefully it will change.

    Done some scouting around, my sources, Spoon and Darwin deez aren't playing, but two door cinema club are.

    Yeah I emailed adele and they said no festivals in the future at all, so yeah good news!

    And I am pretty sure its more than them dates you are talking about, they are playing: Hurricane Festival, Exit Festival, Rock Werchter, Southside Festival, Main Square Festival AND Festival Internacional de Benicassim.

    Oh yeah. I think it was more wishful thinking than anything else as I would like to see them. I'll stick Elbow as a replacement guess then. Pretty sure Melvin is a big fan of them although it sounds like they are at Reading, not sure if this makes them more or less likely.

    Portishead are at two festivals, forgive me as I have forgotten their names. So they could theoretically play latitude.

    They could afford it, but latitude has a wider range of acts etc. than some festivals similarly priced (cough, v, cough). I expect good headliners, last years might of had only one/two albums for two of them, but they would have still been expensive.

    the first post obv.

    Hi grouchy, nice to see you still around, sad to see the way you were treated on the official forums!

    And it might be true, idk. But I think that Adele wouldn't play. Is tugger2k around this year, and I've also heard him and Neil know a lot about the festivals. Any hits would be much appreciated. This time last year Tugger said the lineup early!!
