  1. There's a bit of a pattern for the Avalon, the poster tends to come around the middle of April, so around 3-4 weeks time.
  2. Pulp borderline. I'd say no on balance, but could probably get away with it if the other 2 headliners were strong.
  3. The absence of headliners for me - so far - gives me the opportunity to do different things around the festival I may otherwise miss. The daytime line up is perfectly fine for me, 5 on the Park, 5 on West Holts, 2 on the Pyramid so I’m happy.
  4. I’m sure Shania will put on a really professional, slick and fun show. I intend to be elsewhere. I’m a big fan of traditional country music but never really taken to the commercial pop side of the genre, Garth Brooks and most acts on Country 2 Country festivals as other examples.
  5. Oh I’m sad! A have a couple of Cockney Rebel albums, Psychomodo & The Human Menagerie. Goddamn cancer!
  6. He made the Manchester Arena feel like an intimate place when he played there last, one of the very best arena gigs I’ve witnessed.
  7. Wet weather makes it so much more of a challenge navigating around the entire site, one bad year I was trying to see a band up at the Park, but I was sliding back down the slope and I gave up. If 2024 is bad I’m going to ignore much of the festival and stick 90% of the time to West Holts/Avalon/Acoustic. I’d much rather explore the whole festival in sunshine though.
  8. I love the Wednesday and Thursday, more relaxed and combined with all the anticipation. If the weather is fine I’ll spend some time at the Croissant Neuf Bandstand, Greenpeace and Green Futures - have a tea in the Small World - and up to Strummerville for a beer.
  9. Has to be the weather. I’ve particularly enjoyed the last few festivals because of the good weather.
  10. I definitely wouldn’t give up my ticket even if there were no acts on the poster I wish to see. Even if the impossible happened and there was no music for me, I’d spend the time in Theatre & Cabaret, and go to every bar!
  11. West Holts remains the most unpredictable stage, but also the most rewarding, in my view. I often watch the first act on each day, whoever it is, to start the day off.

    Dexys?

    Yes, and if I don’t seen them there I’ll hope to at Glastonbury. I’ve never seen them play and I do have misgivings but just 3-4 of their classics would be enough for me to go.
  13. A very good point. The fake posters are usually easy to spot as they’re completely unrealistic. There’s already about 15 acts on the line up I’d like so see so the festival remains excellent value for money compared to arena gigs.
  14. It would be great for the festival if SZA was a huge success.
