Bestival 2011

[Macca3031]

If you're drugs are strong enough, the dogs will pass out anyway. You'll get arrested, of course, but everybody after you will get through fine, and I won't struggle taking my precious Nytol in. It's a worthy sacrifice -- you know it's the right thing to do.

i got my ticket today and i stupidly got a student one even though my uni card has now expired. when i bought it i was still at uni so i must have just automatically clicked student without thinking about it. is it true that you just pay the ten pound difference on the gate when you get there?

Just a quick question - I haven't trawled through the entire post for any likewise ones but are we to expect any further lineup additions or looking at whats there do you reckon thats about it? Not that the lineup isn't already brilliant, just wondered. Will be my 1st Bestival so not entirely sure how many acts / artists they have over the event.

You wouldn't believe how many people are going on their own - some are coming from India, Canada and Australia alone. I'm a complete novice when it comes to festivals but to me that's just f**king astonishing, frankly. Says a lot about the festival itself.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Thought as much :-) what about fri-sun? Worth it?

[BlackHole2006]

Tickets arrived today!

Happy, relieved and excited

Trevor Nelson just played Modestep's Maida Vale session (supposed to air Friday night but got replaced by a "riot special"), their cover of the Pointer Sisters Slow Hand was brilliant.

I am not missing these guys.

Does anyone have any details about possible set times of the acts/a clashfinder? I know that someone on the Sunday Best Forums gave details about which day each act is likely to be, but was wondering whether anyone had any information more accurate than that? SO EXCITED

I THINK Rob said he'd be releasing times a few days before the festival but can't remember where I saw that now. I also vaguely recall seeing something about an app which may have them on it.

Can anyone who's been before give me a rough idea how long it takes to get from the festival site to Portsmouth (via Ryde) on the Monday? Just trying to plan the return to Glasgow and don't want to book trains back that I'll never be able to catch

[Paul ™]

Leave early I missed a train last year due to ferries and shuttle buses being mobbed. Year before nearly missed my flight back too... had a mad taxi dash. Id recommend a 7am departure from the festival if you can.

Phew! Was thinking it all looked a bit barren...

[Cameleye]

On a sidenote, I have to say this Friday night thing Friendly Fires are doing is going to be amazing and if Pendulum aren't up your street (and nothing is going on in the Big Top), I'm going to suggest we all venture over to the Rizlab to watch it.
