Does anyone know any more about Tim Burgess's Diner? I know he has a number of guests scheduled to perform butis it actually inside the diner (assuming that is a trailer-type thingy) or do you think there will be a performance area next to it? I'm really keen to see Edwyn Collins and Roddy Frame but doubt I will if I have to fight for one of forty places inside a trailer!

Been light rain here a mile from site, stopped now though thunder and lightening for Thursday afternoon , glorious Friday and Saturday, a couple of light showers Sunday and if you get in the mosh pit over the weekend I'm sure some one will give you a golden shower !

There are two - one on Thursday (not sure on time as I don't arrive until Friday) and the other on Friday at 2pm on the left hand side of the real ale tent, before decamping to see the MonoLPs, who are dedicating the set to the forum members!

Already spotted my first potential clash of the weekend. Two bands I'm desparate to see again:

Catfish and the Bottlemen - Saturday 8:45pm @ House Party

Victorian Dad - Saturday 9pm @ Riot Jazz

Half and half I reckon.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
