I wonder who the special guests are below Pet Shop Boys? Flaming Lips maybe (hopefully)?

im going to have a wild stab in the dark at this, which incidentally, if it turns out to be true is exactly what the bookers will be getting

working on the age old equation of 2+2=5

1 - will have to be someone willing to play below a has been pop act

2 - will have to be someone a has been pop act like

3 - will have to be someone on the up at the moment

4 - will have to be someone to fit in with the general pop feeling of the day

ladies and gentlemen, may i present the final crowning turd on the pile

Lady GaGa!! :rolleyes:

I think I might do this next year. That line-up looks nifty. How accessible is it by train? And more importantly, is it good and family friendly? Thanks in advance for any help.

Nearest train station is Halesworth, which is on the London-Ipswich line. They run shuttle buses from the station to the site throughout the event.

My kids are now of legal drinking age, but I'd say it's very family friendly, there's a lovely kid's area with lots going on, and a family camping bit. There's always loads of kids of all ages running about, and it doesn't get hugely crowded, so there's always space for families to picnic and chill out. It's not a huge site, so less worry about little'uns going AWOL, and the security people make sure kids on their own are OK, which is nice.

I've heard parents complain about the cost of food and drinks (although I don't know why people pay huge ammounts for bottled water when there are taps) and I guess it could really add up if you were buying all your food from stalls.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
