Yes, part of a great Psych Fest lineup. I’d go if it wasn’t EotR weekend!

Strongest lineup for years for me, delighted

Oh please, not again!

The penultimate tweet on the EotR feed is a repost of a TLOBF tweet from 2018 about Boygenius. Dare we hope?

I want to go to this.

You can’t do that as tier 2 never went on sale. Still EBs available…

Early birds are back on sale - for how long nobody knows. Website keeps crashing but persistence pays off… (btw, we never had these problems before Ticket Sellers. Nor booking fees)

I suspect this is not what you meant to say - though I am more on the Hooskerdoo side in this debate

There’ll be plenty of room. You might want to think about family camping - not restricted to those with kids, generally v quiet and spacious, and the closest section to the car park. Done it for 10 years. Ground is chalky/flinty so most water runs right off. It won’t get muddy (except possibly at footfall bottlenecks). Enjoy!

Happened like that last year - tickets not necessarily sent out at the same time

This of course is the joy of EotR, decent festivals and music generally; I thought FF were superb last year and would rather have my teeth pulled than see Future Islands again. I have been every year except one since the 3rd EotR, and for my taste this is the most underwhelming first announcement I have seen. Wilco and Angel the exceptions of the big names (though even then I saw her last year, so…), but there unusually few other names I fancy. The fact that eg Panic Shack, who are undeniably fun but not a ‘good’ band, are halfway up the bill seems weird. But…the joy of EotR is not (for me) the big acts, it’s the discoveries. Plus the people, the setting, the beer, the whole vibe. So I am sure it will be a fab weekend anyway!

The reformed Allo Darlin must be nailed on?

Forecast showery for Sat/Sun now

That is gutting. And surely they would attract the same sort of crowd? There seem to be a couple of others like that too, unusual for EotR

They will know them for the bill so far but there are a few additions to come and the usual smattering of cancellations

Ah yes, but the website text says ‘The boutique camping area is located near the Folly for 2022’… (sorry JHad, crossed with your reply)

Yes, the usual brilliant Andy’s Loos couldn’t do it. I thought the standins *did* do a good job in the circumstances, but the circumstances were pretty tough and so the standard was nowhere near as high as usual. But then I am an unfussy bloke…

Another positive here, v mild symptoms. Did a couple of Big Top sets

Think CF is already more accurate due to cancellations etc

I am 10 miles from site and there is just a very light breeze
