Exactly. The booze restrictions are one thing, but charging people for the stage times after paying £150+ for a ticket is criminal.
Knowing what time the bands are on shouldn't be an optional extra!

Doesn't look like they're releasing any band times, which is a bit shit:
It is a bit, when the line-up is as weighty as they've got this year, it'd be nice not to have to sit with a pen and paper once we get into the madness! Be gutted to miss a few of my must-sees.
Even the biggie commerical festivals put their line-up times on the website the week before. I'm all for supporting the organisers etc but that plus the booze rules makes you feel a bit like they're out to get you for your money before you even get there.

Very disappointing announcement, was definitely expecting more from them!
-
wow!
Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello Fishbone, The Beat, Dub Pistols, Slamboree, Matisyahu, Katchafire, The John Butler Trio, Amadou & Mariam, Dreadzone, Transglobal Underground, Songhoy Blues, Ibibio Sound Machine, Infected Mushroom, Capdown, King Prawn, The Mahones, and The Interrupters.
Wow indeed! They've really smashed it out of the ballpark in terms of hitting their market (assuming the reggae additions are up to scratch...)
I'd say those Tier 2 tickets will fly out now.

Tickets for both Mew and Mogwai at Roundhouse obtained as payday treats. :-)
Mew at the Roundhouse was definitely one of my gigs of 2013 and the new album will be out by then too, even better.

can't be done, sorry. Someone has that name already.
You, in fact, with the account you created about ten minutes before you made this post.
Oops, so it has- sorry for being dim!
Didn't think it had gone through, as I was having email address issues!
Boomtown Festival 2015

Absolutely incredible festival, really surpassed all my expectations, it's come on such a long way since I last went in 2012.Beautiful crowd, lovely atmosphere, SO much fun, just can't praise it enough. Such high production values, it really blew me away.
Only one small criticism was the programmes...there were quite a few little mishaps, two artists down for the same time on the Lion's Den on Saturday and worse, Streetlight Manifesto listed as Sunday on the lanyard when they were actually playing Saturday.
Thankfully our gang bought both the lanyard and the programme booklet between us so we worked it out but I know some weren't so lucky and you'd be gutted if you turned up at the time listed on Sunday and found out they'd played the day before! If you're gonna keep it all hush hush and not list the set times anywhere beforehand...the programmes have to be right!! I was there with a pretty avid Streetlight fan who would have been devastated if we'd been caught out by that.
