Ah cheers, hadn't seen that, not too long then, finish exams and then get an announcement I can deal with that

EDIT: Just seen Michael Kiwanuka has been added as the first rumour, anyone have any idea who it is?

Well I've finally been able to drag someone along with me so will be off to Bestival next year for the first time it seems.

Does anyone have any idea if the early bird tickets go off sale? Or are they on sale from now till it sells out and at the same price? They seem to have been on sale since September which seems a long time for early bird tickets. Am planning on getting them sorted at the end of the month so just want to make sure they will be on sale then so I can get them out of the way.

Also has anyone had any experience of going with the Big green coach for travelling? Am aiming to go down with that but don't really want to arrive that late on Thursday so am just debating whether to go with an alternative method of transport. Went with national express to Glasto and arrived at around 4 which was ok but don't really want to be much later than that setting up.

PULP would be insane, I'd absolutely love them to play. I asked Rob if many Coachella bands will be appearing at Bestival and he said there's some of them playing. Hopefully M83, Justice, Explosions in the sky, Madeon, etc.

Going again this year, was my first time in 2011, loved it so much had to make sure I go this year!

Persuaded even more of my friends to come too, should be an amazing experience yet again, I don't think they really need to change much!

Just interested in how everyone is travelling there, last year we trained it to Southampton & went over on passenger Ferry, thinking about maybe driving but it seems pretty expensive to take a car over on Ferry, only thing with the ferry is the queuing, must have been for a good 5 hours just to get on the ferry and the same on the way back.

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
