Tried to go Wednesday and it was shut, didn’t go back, don’t think it looked that impressive or added much personally and if you are going to have it it needs to be open all Wednesday and Thursday

I thought it was fine and the same as always. SE much easier because of Icon (even if I thought it had no atmosphere) Im also not sure why people are surprised they can’t get into things, The Street were always going to be busy so we got there half way through FF and got in the tent with no problem, I’d never expect to be able to turn up and walk into a headliner. Same with Fatboy in the Glade, it was fine once you got in the tent and we made the call to get there an hour before he started which meant we got to see some Solardo which was a bonus. I’ve always thought if there is an act not on the two main stages you are desperate to see, go and see the band before, you might even discover something new.

I think it’s far too big and is always going to struggle to get an atmosphere. Split the field into 2 stages and it would be much better. I thought the sound was fine on Thursday and Friday but didn’t go back after that. It clearly helped congestion issues in the SE but far more work needed for next year or I doubt I’ll go out of my way to return. not on topic but I also thought Pangea was disappointing, just a massive spinning crane and very quiet (although Arcadia always had that issue) i still had the most wonderful weekend and pray for tickets next year in October but I think most of the new additions this year (the pier included) were all a bit of a miss. I do agree the new cave was a great little addition and had a proper party atmosphere the night we were in there

We have been in A off the coach for over an hour can see the front now but be prepared to wait

I disagree with the above and think wellies were essential in 2016 the one of our group who tried gave up and bought wellies there. However it is going to be nothing like that and boots will be fine this year (and hopefully not even be needed)

Where is the news from the 6am run, come on people I can’t be expected to understand this myself so this is the first thing I check every morning when waking up. on a serious note, that you all for your dedication to my weather obsession this year, looks like we won!

These must be know by now. Any volunteers or workers on site who know? (Sorry if this is elsewhere but I couldn’t find it)

Also a Sunderland fan here (although London based for years) so I know that feeling very well.

I totally agree that’s almost perfect Festival weather for me. It’s easy to put on a jumper/hoody at night and then not too hot to walk around and drink some more

I’m now worried I just made this up and it was just based on something someone on here wanted to happen. My excitement levels of seeing the sight are higher than they have ever been with all the changes. I should have a cider in hand by this time in 5 days time and starting to explore

Yeah it’s the same place. My See coach in 15 (I think) somehow didn’t have any tickets on it so we all had to go there show ID and be issued new tickets. No photos, it’s probably a collectors item. still to this day have no idea who messed up but it was surprisingly quick to sort out as I was stressing it was going to take hours.

Maybe but didn’t they say they were making other Glade stages like Spaceport bigger which might take up that space?

That’s too hot but stick

You are probably right, I’m not sure why you would change something that isn’t broke apart from the new Block 9. Hadn’t realised this was an accessibility map. I’ve personally never found getting in that bad, just accept if you want to go peak post headliner time you have to queue, or just go for a pint wait an hour and go in about 1am and you walk in
