Too much graffiti for me. Last year practically every bin I walked past had been desecrated with some abomination.

How about we have no lineup at all? Just wonder round the site seeing who’s playing and stop if it’s someone you like!

BabyQueen was a pleasantly surprising find for me at Y Not! last year. Excellent live I thought.

Yeah, there’s a few entry level canning machines available now which has massively reduced the barrier to entry. Also think a lot of bounce back loans got used for buying them!

We've just started supplying Stockport County's ground with our beers which is a great move on their part 👍

In the past I've taken a couple of 20 litre bag in boxes of whatever pale ale we were packing in the brewery on the week leading up to the festival. Was generally okay but last time I did it on a hot year I took a 4.2% pale but was drinking so much water due to the heat that I struggled to even get tipsy! Ended up supplementing it with top ups from the cider bus 😁 We started canning during lockdowns - prior to that we bottled so I wasn't able to take any smallpack - so last year I took a variety of our beers from low ABV pales, some NEIPAs, some DIPAs and some Impy stouts - worked well as I could choose what to drink depending on the ABV and how pissed I felt at the time!

Thanks for the mention - we only supply our own beer to trade but it is very good 😉 Happy to have a chat!

We did the same with Bearded Theory and Y Not - we went to Bearded and we're going to Y Not anyway as well. Did Glastonbury too - so three festivals in three months for us!

Here you go - you can also get them on the festival app which has the line-up and other stuff on it.

I’m in a Y Not facebook group and someone posted a response from the festival (in answer to a chair related question!) and the response said they are expecting “in excess of 25,000 people”.

We got to site at around 7pm on Wednesday due to getting quite a late coach time - thought we’d be gutted to miss so much of Wednesday but it actually turned out okay. By the time we got there our friends who’d arrived about 7am were broken. The early start, queuing in the heat then two car trips in the heat had done them in. They came for a walk with us but baled early whereas we had a really good explore of the site, a few drinks and some nice food and got to bed around 2am. They were still pretty fucked on Thursday whereas we felt great. Might be a plan for next year!

Spotted a bloke off the apprentice whilst queuing for a pizza and also saw Andy Burnham by the Other Stage. Both shit sightings I know but you did ask! 😂

Does anyone happen to know what time seetickets coaches back start? We’re booked on the 11:30 to Manchester but quite a fancy staying up and just getting one around 3am or something but not sure if they run that early?

We had this yesterday from Manchester - steward was waiting to meet us with tickets when we arrived - hopefully the same for you too. Good luck!

Just to update, we were met off the coach by a lovely chap who had all our tickets - we had them in hand and were through gate a within half an hour.
