Latest announcement says all tickets sold. Doesn't it normally take months? I am sure we left it relatively late last time we went.
Will be great anyway but i hope this isn't the future of gigs/festivals or i'll need to imorove my decision making and organisational skills!

As we’ve gone off topic anyway; has anyone been to Rockaway Beach Bognor? We’ve decided we couldn’t wait until next Spring for a festival and this is at Butlins in January (Covid not withstanding).
I will get to see Pirtidge Radio and Wu-Lu again !
Hi, @juliadevittyes. Been to them all except the first. Would strongly recommend it. Good mix of artists, no music clashes (usually) and a real bed each night. Friendly crowd and a real boost to dreary January. Only slight downside is the captive audience food and drink prices but a minor gripe and balanced by the well priced tickets anyway.

Payment plan tickets on sale 2pm tomorrow. Guess they'll be getting some understadable complaints from people who would have waited if they'd known
Edit- Tommy beat me to it!

They've put a ticket warning out on social media for anybody on the fence
Yes, just noticed that. Hard to tell how many tickets rolled over but it seems they have shifted loads today. Looking a bit doubtful for those waiting for the payment plans.
Just checked and the confirmation letter came through ok so can relax an wait for the announcements.

Bit strange to be in a crowd that size again but had a great day.
Working Mens Club showed they could translate to a big stage and Hot Chip were fun as always. Great to see New Order again and was happy with the minor setlist changes from the warmup gig.
Agree with comments on the venue though. Two visits now and it feels enough. We just edged toward the side for the encore and headed off for the tram when the final song started so made it ok, but not exactly a relaxed end to proceedings!

Sorted. Bit of an anxious hassle then got kicked out when trying to get early birds. Went for full price in the end. Bit of a stinger with the fees but still chuffed and excited now it's in the bag.

Oh yeah, the brownies from the stall opposite the comedy tent. My word they are something else.
Forgot to mention David Trent. He was hilarious on Friday evening and his Reggae Breakfast on Green Man Radio was superb.
You aren’t wrong about those brownies!
1st time for us at GM so thanks again for the tips. Got a decent camping space in general/orange near the gate.
Getting in seemed a bit faffy but all great from there. Also add my vote for SvE -amazing. Pottery were a great surprise and I only went to watch them as the general low level chat noise was distracting me from fully enjoying Aldous Harding. Aidan Moffat was a beautiful set and the new full band TVAM also hit the spot.
Unexpected sights inc Jarvis dj , Wedding Present, wedding proposal at Big Moon and also Porridge Radio in the shop. Many more bands and beers. Amazing festival.
thanks all.

Which playlist do you use out of interest?
Hi. Own one on Spotify. Basically the official one with some stuff i didnt like taken off (mostly FJM!) and extra tracks added from a few others.
Try and get it to about the length of the journey which is 3hrs+ for us. Been enjoying and copying a few bits from the one that i think is yours today tho?
-
Brilliant thanks. Now, back to the playlist.

Hi all
1st time at Green Man. Really looking forward to it. Just wanted to say thanks for the tips being shared on here.
One quick question. Are the quiet and general camping areas the sort of distance to nip back to tent during the day? Might be a moot point on friday where it looks like i have 12 hours of bands to fit in!

Hi
Thinking about this for the first time next year.
Not used to the late starting ones. What time do headliners usually come on?
Any tips welcome, thanks

I'm with @Gnomicide .Being within hearing range of the magic teapot bongo crew was a definite irritant through the night.
Better toilet arrangements at main stage would be a worthwhile change.
Otherwise a great weekend. Idles won me over and it was fun to see Crazyhead for first time in a long long time. Not a punky ska fan but there was tons of choice on the music front.
Big confetti singalongs with Rev and Jimy Cliff topped and tailed things nicely. Hardly queued for a pint all weekend and the food choices were sound. Think we got away with the weather a bit.
Will be back next year for more of the same.
-
Its a great festival. Three stages, friendly people working there and attending, decent beers and handful of food places.
Seems like a lot of the bands who are on hang around to watch/support others too.
Alfeton definitely nearest station but Derby not a million miles away.
Friday can feel a bit like the warm up for the main event but I think Lovely Eggs will change that this time. Looking forward to catching them again.
-
Seen the Membranes with choir a couple of times, definitely worth checking out.

Headliner tonight!
ooh ta, hadn't spotted that. Much earlier than expected then.
Its a strong lineup whoever. You can quote me on that when I'm moaning later!

Going "Young" - Will Perhaps ? Or Niel ?
I did think that Orbital would go well on the main stage.
(all the above will probably garner a groan or two)
Groan!...although thinking along similar lines I did wonder if "young" was a nod to Young Fathers.
No idea if they are considered headliner size.
As my Public Service Broadcasting guess looks gone I'll switch my bet to Franz Ferdinand. In the middle of a big tour, definitely headline material and playing in Belfast the day after.
-
Public Service Broadcasting? Playing the 6 music festival that weekend but not sure which day.
Not dead keen on all the records but fun live. Are they big enough?

As excuses go, it's not a bad one.
Bearded forum now saying undecided between younger and older act. No announcements due.

Mixed feelings on that. Bit excited about hearing who is on Friday night but also no announcement will help me wait til payday to get my tickets. The last couple of friday headliners aren't really my thing so curious about who it will be. JAMC were great at End of the Road so will be a good build up to whoever

Thanks @Cheshire Cat and @BlueDaze . very helpful ta

Hi does anyone know if it’s ok to pitch a tent next to a caravan?
Never been in camper van/caravan bit so wasn’t sure. Friends are taking their van down so was considering pitching alongside to claim a cuppa in a morning ☕️
I know some festivals are fine with that but I don’t want to irritate anyone if there’s not enough space/it’s not allowed.
-
Have a good one anyone else who is heading down to this tomorrow
Definitely a few less bands on this year but still looks fun and a bargain.
Looking forward to it.
-
Does anyone have a realistic sense of when this might sell out?
Need to get organised but in middle of moving house so brains not fully focussed on next year.
-
Excellent for me. First one since 2014 and it seemed very familiar but with a couple of improvements too.
Echo the thanks for organisers, toilet crew and litterpickers etc. Jobs not made any easier on sunday.
Musicwise i enjoyed seeing Ty Segall, Slowcoaches, Spook School, Car Seat Headrest and Omni for the first time.
Also the chance to see Brix, Moonlandingz and the Jesus and MaryChain again.
Wouldn't buy lemon twigs or king khan records but enjoyed both in a festival setting.
I tried (a little bit) but still don't get why Mac De Marco is a headline act anywhere but he seemed to draw a decent crowd.
Will definitely be back.
-
Hmmm. Cuurrently
Car seat headrest
Shame
Slowcoaches
Spook School
Moonlandingz
Nadine Shah
Omni
Perfume Genius
Ty Segall
Girl Ray
More research needed to subject to change...

Liines are a live favourite for me.
Ditto Snapped Ankles. Cool Greenhouse and Sorry would be high on my list to see.
Food, depending on your budget check out 13th Element or No12.
Prickly Pear is a bit of a wander. Places like Yamas and Mowgli are in the right area of town and i understand have decent vegan choices. Best check that and where is open though-just what i have heard from others.
