Shaping up nicely this one! James, Shed 7, Starsailor, Basement Jaxx dj set, Del Amitri, Pigeon Detectives.

Supergrass might be a good shout. Seem to be playing bloody everywhere and have another UK festival that weekend. Maybe Pixies as an outside bet?

Yeah...very hard to call! To be fair for me the bands I enjoyed the most was on the Signature Brew stage, they had some great stuff on. Hope the atmosphere stays the same...but the weather doesn't.

Yeah...really hoping Bob Vylan and Dubioza Kolektiv don't clash!

Bob Vylan in the Woodland is gonna go off!

Amazing announcement. Frank Turner headlined Beautiful Days a few months ago (and thats 7k bigger capacity I believe). I saw Bob Vylan at Bigfoot festival in June and its one of the best festival sets I have seen in 30 odd years of festival going.

Yeah, spot on. Take your booze and food anywhere on site but there is an incredible choice of ale at the bars. You 100% won't regret it if you book! Genuinely one of the loveliest festival crowds as well.

Saw Lennie James there a couple of years ago (think it was the year Danny Boyle filmed some scenes for 'Yesterday'). My daughter was standing behind him and I was pulling stupid faces before I clocked who it was so couldn't very then go up and say how much I like his work because I clearly looked like a deranged twat.

Creation had an absolutely insane roster of bands...Super Furrys, Sugar, House of Love, J&MC, Teenage Fanclub, Primals, Arnold etc etc etc. Odd that none of them are on at the festival I thought given the ticket price it would be relatively small but it looks like its 8k capacity.

Its such a brilliant festival...compact site so no massive hikes (but still plenty of room), great beer choice, but the crowd is what makes it...an absolutely lovely bunch.

Might have considered this but at Bearded Theory that weekend...and £110 + bf seems very steep for that line up...not much less than I paid for Bearded and thats for 4 days and a much bigger bill and includes camping. Sadly, think it might struggle.

Still going for Idles as sub headliner for the Friday...not sure if the below makes it more or less likely though...

Sadly we caught Covid at Beautiful Days the weekend before so couldn't go! Had a mate who went and said it was really good Have to say the organisers were brilliant though. I emailed them to say we couldnt go and asked if they had a waiting list for tickets as didnt want them to go to waste...they asked me to send back the wristbands and a copy of a positive test result, day after I did that had an email saying they had rolled our tickets over to 2022. They didn't have to do that...exceptional service.

They have said one of the subs is actually headliner sized for Bearded but they have agreed to go 2nd on the bill, which is apparently why The Mission are billed as 'special guests' as they are big enough to sub. Confusing. I am still going for Idles. They tried to book them for 2020 but was on an exclusivity agreement with another festival that year.
