[CiderFiend]

Any idea when we're going to get the dates/times for the Avalon Stage? Loads of acts on there I want to see but not knowing when/where they're playing is making things a bit difficult...

yey devotchka not clashing so far, well for me anyways

[rachmac]

But planning your week and reading the programme is the whole part of Wed/Thurs - sitting around the camp, having just set up, waiting for other people to arrive...

[dan05delaney]

am waiting for the day splits too... ooh no i hope Barenaked Ladies are not headlining the friday... BNL or U2.... hmmm...

[Dorgon]

Barenaked Ladies without Steven Page isn't worth skipping U2 for; they're a shadow of their former selves.

[MEGABOWL]

I wonder where that's come from, there's nothing on th'official site*

*is clinging to the tiniest hope that City and Colour don't clash with Hercules and Love Affair :angry:

[Gnomicide]

If the line up is correct and the times match up to last years (which all looks highly unlikely as there are either spaces for more bands, they're starting later or playing longer sets):

Hopefully it is wrong or The Popes will clash with Paul Simon.

[4AssedMonkey]

f**ksticks.

That means there will be yet ANOTHER Friday evening act in my ever increasing clash - K T Tunstall. That Friday from 6 until about 10 is an utter c**t for clashes. There's about 10 acts I want to see and will probably be able to squeeze about 2 or 3 in max. I wouldn't mind but there's knack all on Saturday I'm bothered about apart from Elbow!

Twatknacker. :angry:

[king_oxymoron]

I agree, Friday is my busiest day and they had to shove Tunstall on then too

[HurrahBrother]

Ah, Flogging Molly on the Saturday. I might be up fer that.

[Timme]

Great news City and Colour are on the Sunday night though, I was hoping they wouldn't clash with anyone else I really wanted to see

[puppetmode]

Amazed that KT Tunstall is only in third on a smaller stage like Avalon. Still, a that time, i might get chance to see her

[Greenelk]

The Wombles is going to be stupidly rammed, that's a certainty

[Chazeboy]

Hobo Jones & JYD's confirmed to me that they are 1300 on the Avalon

[CaledonianGonzo]

[the_arsonist]

i really wanna see city & colour but if i've worked it out correctly i'd be planning to go from caspa > city & colour > qotsa

that'll be a bit weird i think... won't know which way is up!

[lucyginger]

Am I being a wally, or are The Beat meant to be playing Avalon?

[beodeejay]

The Festival is incredibly frontloaded for me this year. Just about everyone I want to see is on on the Friday night, but come Sunday I'm going to be making do with 'best of a bad bunch' alternatives.

[amfy]

That running order may give Kitty Daisy & Lewis a good crowd in the run up to The Wombles! This is great news because they are a great little band. Their sound lies in that space in the mid 50s just between Swing and RocknRoll and the sound is really raw and authentic, yet I think they are all still under 20! I hope the early arrivals for The Wombles appreciate them!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bellowhead are closing Leftfield....... worth a look if you've nothing else on.

And the Avalon Cafe is here

[Gnomicide]

Few changes there from what's previously been seen. Guillemots now on Saturday. The Beat on Friday.

Three bands I'd liked to have seen will be missed on Friday because of clashes but I might get to see a bit of The Popes before legging it to see Paul Simon.

Some good stuff been put on at The Cafe as well. Should be worth a few visits.
