  1. My favourite line up poster so far for a while. Huge amounts of great stuff on there and some great artists - let alone everything still to be announced for Silver Hayes, Shangri-La, Arcadia etc. 

    Well pleased with SZA.

  2. Found this which might be helpful for some first timers to get a understanding of the some of the inclines involved during the treks from gate to campsite and how flat certain camping areas are - its not perfect and doesn't have contour lines but gives a pretty good feel for the change in inclines (bonus points for it also having the festival map overlay)

    There’s a lock up just inside gate A - put half your stuff in there, just take tent & a few bits and come back for the other stuff once you’ve set up/later…

    This advice!! Definitely going to be doing this - will make life so much easier. Thank you!

    But honestly I’ve done worse than Gate A to Big Ground before. It’s gonna be dry so you will be fine. 

    Ok, that installs me with some confidence! Last year the slog was horrendous for us from A just to Dairy Ground lol, but the heat was what made it awful. 

    Alright I've got this 💪 Thanks!

    It's not a case of just dropping off outside the gate, all the roads will be closed off and there will be massive queues of people at that time.

    That was my thought - last year we were directed to Gate D by the traffic wardens so figured that would be the case 

  6. Need some help planning! 

    I'm arriving seperately from my group on the Wednesday morning (arriving around 5:30am) and will be catching a cab from my AirBnb thats near the festival site. Issue is, my group is arriving by car and going to Gate B whereas because I'm arriving by cab the map shows the taxi rank being by Gate A / Gate D, and the group has decided upon Big Ground as the camp site. 

    Long shot, but has anyone had any experience whatsoever with arriving at Gate B by taxi? Already getting some severe PTSD about the thought of trekking from A/D to Big Ground with my gear so would really want to get dropped off at B if at all possible, also when considering how quickly Big Ground fills up on the Wednesday - any advice really appreciated!! 🥲

    the best thing to cool yourself down is constant misting. One of these bad boys: image.png.83cb4ee2f502cdc2acd16a63cb46d868.png

    Absolutely briliant idea - I'm heading to the retail park this weekend to get the last bits, def going to IKEA to grab one of these. Last year I just soaked my cap in water and that helped for about 0.1 seconds and then I was just wearing a hot wet cap 😞

  8. Tbf for last year all I wanted was full sunshine (wish pretty much mostly granted). I remember there being a few showers at Arlo Parks, which funnily enough was my favourite moment of the festival with everyone waving sunflowers back in forth in the drizzle, big smiles and not a single person looking upset about the weather. 

    Things'll be alright no matter what the outcome!

    I dunno...apparently its officially been declared that we're in the El Nino pattern over the weekend and the last El Nino was 2016...

    We're fine, if we we're in the southern USA, SE Asia, Australia or New Zealand - then I'd be worried about El Nino.
