starpod Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi everyone, im reading about the Big Tent here to whet my appetite for next weekend Im new to this festival and stummbled across it when looking for dates for Attic Lights and decided to take in the whole weekend. My friend is coming with me and this is her first festival, I thought she would enjoy this more than some of the bigger events. Im imagining/hoping this will be a far more relaxed weekend... almost like a holiday! but just wondering if any tips for us Big Tent newbies? I cant find any confirmation about friday night camping and my ticket doesnt shed any more light?? Also are there things we're not allowed to take into the site? Also does the Ceilidh on the friday night take place in the arena part? or is it elsewhere....? Lots of questions i know... but any info would be a great help guys! Really looking forward to this one, just trying to plan our travel. I intended to drive through but dont want to be boo'ed on arrival!!!

Da_J_Doc-~ Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Bands start early afternoon 1-2pm finish 1030pm ish i think. Would say attic lights who are headlining would be on 9pm or there abouts. A bit of guesswork as my memory from last year was impaired by several black isle ciders. Doc will perhaps be more accurate with timings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieg72 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 We had another great time this year, really enjoyed the moonzie allstars, trecherous orchestra and attic lights. The festival does seem to be growing quite quickly and there are still some issues with the camping area,although it has vastly improved since last year. All in all a great wee festival that has become one of my regulars. Oh i almost forot to mention the superb blackisle beer/cider, i drunk gallons of the stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
