Excellent choices chap! 'We Are Scientists' will be a definite highlight...its weird, they always strike me as being a band who don't know how good they are...been listening to them a lot since they were announced for Kendal and their albums are all really strong.

Shed 7 are a fantastic band live - never yet see them do a bad gig - and I've seen them a lot. My favourite song is On Standby mind you, followed by Bully Boy.

They had 2 outstanding tv moments.

Bully Boy on the Big Breakfast with added hair and Going For Gold on Top of the Pops - the best suit ever worn by anyone (Witter looked like he was about to go in the oven)

!

Warning - not for the faint hearted

I've been listening to them since they released their first album years ago and seen them 5 times since and they never get boring. Turns out they're quite the comedians too which makes for great onstage banter. Really can't wait to see if they play any new stuff

Bombskare played Wickerman just about every year I went. Real good time Ska with a full set of brass and major skanking. Also from Edinburgh so they play here a lot obviously and have a good core following.

Break out the rude boy clobber and away you go. If you are not impressed I'll buy you a pint and a pork pie hat.

    • 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.
