Say She She
Lee Fields & The Expressions

perfect , will get mine tomorrow . MK too
likely hood of not being able to get tickets at 9am?
Was surprisingly smooth. Queue moved quick and all sorted in under 5 mins. Although perhaps everyone was trying for Coldplay tickets at the time!

Anyone know the ticket prices for this?
Just paid approx. £90 for standing at MK. Not sure about other venues.

Flying out first thing on Thursday. Some kind of engineering works taking place so it will require a small detour from Amsterdam on the train, but nothing major from what I can tell. Weather forecast looks variable at the moment, but will make it work and added bonus that the main stages seem to be under a roof. Few nasty clashes/overlaps, but plenty to look forward to over the three days. Just need to make my mind up between Fontaines and the The Streets!

How fast are they usually selling out? Waiting a week before I buy a ticket will be possible, I assume?
And are there supposed to be more "semi-big" names to be announced? Not headliners, but acts such as Oscar and the wolf or Florence and the machine?
This would be my first time so not too much insight I can share really. The twitter account seemed to suggest that group tickets had sold out, but no idea how relevant that is to individual tickets or how much to trust the translation!
Looking at last year there were definitely other phases of acts being announced, but as was pointed out not necessarily on a Florence type level.

Do you guys know when they're starting to sell tickets?
Yesterday I believe, with Tickmaster Netherlands the main outlet to get them from.

i've been twice and for me it was great....it's basically a mix of electronic and rock music, with few big names plus some spanish locals:
in 2016 the big names were Chemical Brothers, Moderat, PJ Harvey, Suede
in 2017 there were the Prodigy, Franz Ferdinand, Royal Blood, Ride, Orbital, Kiasmos, Vitalic, Mano Le Tough, and others..
the venue is in a big conference hall, and there are two big stages, one next to each other...so no clash between acts.
an other small room is for the djs till early in the morning
you can reach the arena by metro
inside the festival, you have a wristband where you can charge money, so it's totally cashless...plastic glasses with deposit....wardrobe at the entrance is for free or within few euros.
Thanks, great to hear. It was a similar system at BBK last year in terms of being able to charge your wristband and I found it really easy to use (almost too easy, but I can't blame the system for how much I spent!).
Already quite a few acts I'd be keen to see (Aphex Twin, MGMT, Editors, Jon Hopkins, Slowdive, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and RBCF), will definitely check out a few others like Kurt Vile and Stephen Malkmus. Anything else they announce will then be a nice bonus.

Really enjoyed Bilbao when visiting for BBK last year so decided to give it a go. Another great find through the forums hopefully. Seems great value for money just for those acts already announced. Not one I've heard of before so would be interested in any previous experiences.

Schedule looks pretty good to me with no disastrous clashes. Definitely plan on seeing as much of the below over the three days;
Thursday - Circa Waves, Cage the Elephant, The 1975, Depeche Mode, The Avalanches, Spoon and Justice.
Friday - The Amazons, Explosions in the Sky, Fleet Foxes, Phoenix, The Killers, Royal Blood and Joe Goddard.
Saturday - Saint Motel, Lena Willikens, Brian Wilson, Chk Chk Chk, TDCC, The Lemon Twigs and Die Antwoord.
Really looking forward to Justice, Phoenix, The Killers, Royal Blood and hopefully a good sing along to Brian Wilson.

Looks like according to this page and their twitter it will be a cashless festival.

I know a few other festivals have this system, anyone any experience it before?

Having done NOS Alive! the last couple of years, giving this a go this year. Plenty I want to see already over the three days and I am sure a few more to be added when reading up on some the acts I may not know.

Just to add to what has already been said, went along for Ben UFO last August and had a great time.
Didn't notice anything out of the norm on queues or security.
Venue that evening had a great vibe and from what I remember sound was excellent.
Enjoy!
