[Drug seizures at Bestival]

Wow, that doesn't look good for taking stuff in. How easy is it to source stuff there..?

[What time does the music stop?]

Hey there.

Was just wondering, is there a curfew for the music? Say, 3am? Or do the dance tents etc go on all through the night?

Thanks!

[Travelling to Bestival 2012]

Hmmm. Looking at train/ferry/shuttle. Seems the cheapest I can do ferry for is £40 for a return, train will be around £30/£40, and then the shuttle bus on top of that.

Therefore it looks like the Big green bus for £79 is my best bet.. is this right? Am I missing something?

[will i need id?]

I doubt you'll need it tbh.

[Hop Farm]

Any chance we can camp on the Saturday night with just a day ticket, not a camping ticket? I know you're not supposed to but are there restrictions on who can enter the campsite?

[Hop Farm]

blondie... WOW!

Well tempted to go on the friday too now.

[Hop Farm]

Hop Farm website says there will be high security there with sniffer dogs and all. Are they doing this to sell a lot of beer? Have no fun while enjoying your hippie fest. Anyway to get around dogs?

[Reading lockers?]

Are they actually sold out? Already? Shit.

[Confirmation Emails?]

took 2 days last year.. i wouldn't worry about it just yet. as long as you got the confirmation screen you will be fine.

[REFUSED]

f**k me!

[Arcade Fire and MCR]

Arcade Fire are no bigger than they were in 2007 when they played, they sub headline material at a push

[Latitude]

I'd love the national to come to R&L. Any chance?

[OASIS CANCELLATION!]

Ah, sweet irony.

[festival map online now]

its up now.

[Jamie T ?]

no!

[So... Who's gunna be announced this week]

I'm not sure but it might be feasible on the FR stage?

EITS are touring in the UK from 4th September onwards.. which means they may be playing. I kinda doubt it though

[So... Who's gunna be announced this week]

Hoping for the hold steady, pure reason revolution

and a good post rock band or two!

Explosions in the sky/God is an astronaut/This will destroy you/65daysofstatic would really save the lineup for me!

[Who else is TBA?]

Rise against are defo playing - self confirmed.

[first time at reading]

no chance.

[another confirmation email topic.. sorry!]

there's a big backlog, wouldn't hurt to give them a ring though.

[NME Reading Tickets On Sale]

ta!

[When's the next lineup announcement?]

wait, how many more bands are we expecting for the main stage?

[Weezer have confirmed they'll be headlining the NME Tent!]

haha f**k you.

[Special Guests: Rise Agaist]

well yeah they are definitely playing as they self confirmed at one of their gigs.

I reckon lock up headliners though.

[Is there any word of another batch?]

I think they tried to sell them all in the first batch this year. however, there will be more gradually trickled out onto the market through rejected cards etc, so keep your eyes peeled.
