    I don't think people are "properly upset"

    Just pointing out that with less than 3 days to go, they obviously have the programme in place and set times drawn up...so why not take a picture of the times that they can describe as provisional, post it on twitter and keep punters happy?

    Didn't Green Man do the same though?

    One mate was a bit grumpy that they had to buy a program to get any stage times.

    Think this new Jim Bob was mentioned a few weeks back (searched but can't see it) and finally got round to it and loving it. 

    Album is 'Who do we Hate Today?'

    Really good stuff if it's your type of thing.

    Bit of a minefield this year! Silent Disco, Ferris Wheel & Helter Skelter are just cash, everything else is card... from the website:

     

    All End Of The Road Bars will be completely cashless for 2021. Strictly card and contactless payments only.

    All caterers and non-food/drink traders will be accepting cash and card.

    Mr. Trolley will be trialling card machines, but we recommend bringing cash just in case.

    The Ferris Wheel and Helter Skelter will be cash only.

    Silent Disco deposits will be cash only.

    The Programme Hut and roaming stewards will be trialling card machines, but we recommend keeping cash on hand just in case.

    Merch Shop will be accepting cash and card.

    Blimey. Take a wodge plus a card then.

    Cheers.

    Card only at the bars apparently but cash or card at the food vendors 

    Is the Garden silent disco still there or is that deemed a bit risky now? They only used to take cash for the headphones as far as I remember.

    I get the feeling Beavertown is gone.  The "your favourite tipple might be missing" comment from EOTR and no sign of it in the drinks area while Fever tree and Cider bus got added is what I am basing it on. 

    Loved Beavertown being there, but got mightily fed up with the bar to the right of the Garden which was always taking about 20 minutes to get a beer, always seemed to be running out or have technical problems, pumps breaking down and the like. Hope they get a decent replacement.

    Ah no - where/when did they make that comment?

    Will The Festival Feel Different/Smaller/Less Than A Normal EOTR?

    We’re doing absolutely everything we can to make the festival as normal as possible once you’re inside. Of course, there will be small differences – you might be missing your favourite caterer or tipple – but we’ve worked hard to bring as many people as possible back with us for 2021. The magic will be there ten fold after such a long break, don’t worry!

    Does anyone have experience of these in slightly colder temperatures? I’m going to End of the Road in a couple of weeks where I hear it can get very cold overnight. This isn’t going to make that worse, is it??

    No, it'll be fine. I've used mine for several years. I've never felt cold at EotR compared to other festivals although it is on high ground and if you get a clear night it can get a bit nippy.  

    But as someone who once went to Lindisfarne festival on the same weekend, where the wind came in direct off the North Sea, then maybe I'm not best placed to comment.

    Anyone see Richard Dawson at the Edinburgh fest last night? He was my absolute highlight in 2018, and I'm intrigued as to what he's doing now and what kind of band he's with, presumably mainly stuff from the '2020' album and not so much from 'Peasant'

    Mainly 2020 stuff but obviously Hen Ogledd as well who are at EotR. 

     

    He's also been doing this : https://bulbils.bandcamp.com/

    All good stuff.

    We camp near to the main entrance and regularly nip through to the camper van area to get water and use the toilets/showers. Don’t the camper van peop,e have to go through here every time as well?

    Yep.

     

    ps CV facilities are great.

    Incredibly naive for anyone to go thinking it'd be "safe" or it was a test event in anything but name only. No requirement to actually do a test, double vaccinated and children can have covid , even if you avoided crowds you were sharing toilet facilites? No real follow up,  no real tracking of whether attendees were vaccinated or showed test . What can be learned from it ? I went knowing it was absolutely a gamble and was I willing to isolate /get ill afterwards. After seeing double vaccinated people in my life get symptomatic covid likely from a restaurant meal, weighed up that covid is going anywhere and I don't want to shut myself in forever.

    The point I was making is that the ERP events like Latitude went ahead with special dispensation while many others were forced to cancel. What's the point of that if there is no genuine scientific benefit?

    It's a completely useless figure without knowing how many attendees have actually submitted results, negative or positive.

    Is it 20 out of 100 people? 20 out of 10,000?

    You can never even prove whether any of these people actually caught it at the festival either.

    That figure only comprises residents of Suffolk who have reported or been linked to being at the festival. 

    Obviously that doesn't include any potential cases in people from other areas of the UK.

    The ERP really is a waste of time and they are simply paying lip service to it. Which will really piss off other festivals that have had to cancel.

    I think the volunteer on the gate glanced at my screenshot of the covid QR but there was no close examination nor any cross referencing with the name on the ticket. Nor has there been any followup resuesting a test to be taken and results reported which sort of negates any pretence at a scientific assessment.

    Weren’t they in Plastic Mermaids?

    As a self confessed Plastic Mermaids nutter I've been following her in parallel with PM. Rhain (Rhian), Flo and Hester were and are the main collaborators with PM and form the backbone of the choir/backing singers that accompany PM on tour and live. Rhain normally sings the 'Saturn' intro live as well as other bits. She has a proper powerful operatic voice, diametrically opposed to what you get with Wet Leg. Think they had a song called 'Girlfriend' out last year which got wiped from everywhere (no idea why). So not actually in Plastic Mermaids but all from the IoW and work closely with them.
