Mr Mr Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 anybody got any ideas on the start and finish times?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Fucking Boom, Kasabian added Well worth moving Florence Jack White, Nero, Maccabees Ting Tings and Kasabian all for 2.50. I'll take that very much hopefully no clahses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Jack White, Nero, Maccabees Ting Tings and Kasabian all for 2.50. I'll take that very much you've been massively over-charged. 25p would be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly_eds Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Anyone know when the lineup gets split up by stages? And also when the last acts finish? Rather pleased with the Kasabian addition. Praying there's no bad clashes with SHM.... Edited May 2, 2012 by philly_eds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mr Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Stages have been announced http://www.bbc.co.uk...xj/performances with a special guest on Saturday as well Edited May 16, 2012 by Mr Mr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJL Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Anyone know from previous Radio1 events whether the times are staggered across stages e.g. are Jay-Z and Jack White likely to start and end at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeak Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think the headliners are on at roughly the same time. During the day it is staggered with overlaps from one stage to another. Last year there was 9 acts per day on the main stage and 8 on the second, so hopefully there will be some more artists to be added to the current 7 acts per day.

LondonTom Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Awesome!!! Did almost forget this was going be over a couple of stages Things look okish atm for me, as long as the saturday special guest is no one I love! Bit disappointed with Flo Rida being high up on the other stage, someone I would prehaps gone seen and sunday!! Magnetic Man into Chase & Status looks awesome!

JC-Mo'Fucka Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 i'm not going but Sunday main stage makes me happy I am not going to such an event. However, Nasir Jones certainly does not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah but look at In New Music We Trust Move about and you get to see pretty set of acts in a day! and BOOM http:///s/hackney2012 if anyone cares that much (Based on the site saying entertainment starts 1 and curfew at 11, so finished acts 10:45, obviously some stages will probs start/end latter than others maybe ) Looks good for me so far! Should get everyone in (bit worried about Nero/Ed prehaps clashing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacbo Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Gutted that Nas is playing this pile of tosh rather than a proper London show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Any rumours for the special guests? With kanye playing with jay z the night before (the saturday) is he likely? An urban act would be in keeping with the wider line-up but it's following ed sheeran and before kasabian so maybe not? Anyone else? The equivalent slot on the sunday so it should a fairly big artist... Have the special guests remained a secret until the very last minute or have they been 'leaked' in the past?

LondonTom Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nice one!! Should slot in nicely between the Maccabees and Kasabian ....yeah clash with special guest so as long thats not Franz/Pulp I'll be happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPaulo xD Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Surely the special guest on the saturday will be Kanye and bumped up above kasabian.. and sunday has to be Nicki Minaj as shes playing the same day in london? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacney Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) All this talk of Nicki Minaj doing the Sunday is just daft surely? The special guest slot would finish the same time that she would have to be on stage 10 miles away? I will be very surprised if she did the Sunday. Saturday seems more reasonable, she's free after Thursday night. Also I think I'm just living in hope Kanye is going to be there. They finish there Watch the Throne tour the night before so Kanye will still be about but whether he will make an appearance is a different question Edited May 31, 2012 by lacney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPaulo xD Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Might be Nicki Minaj the day before if shes not doing anything then? rather than two days the same ....................And Kanye could just come with Jay Z, i would see the point in putting the special guest before Kasabian if thats not where they are going...

Filthclough Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Question for locals. What's the best way to get from Stratford Train Station to the festival entrance? Same for going home? Need to get the 23:35 train back from Stratford. Could be tight with the mass rush all leaving at once, but that's the last train & misses has to work 8:00am Sunday. Don't want to miss any Jay-Z though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Apparently there will be a shuttle bus from Stratford Regional (Presume it will leave from the Westfields/Stratford city bus stop rather the main entrance), I'll imagine this will get pretty packed and depending on route/trafic could take a while. I think I am going head on to Hackney Wick or Homerton on the London Overground (The orange overground services (on tube map) run by TFL/London Ungerground) from Stratford. It's about a 20 minute walk from them. You could also go to Leyton on the central line and its about a 20 minute walk from there to . I'll imagine it be sign posted for people. Just had a look and if the route via the Olympic Park is open, that's a 40 minute walk from Stratford...but not entirely sure that will be open then! In fact I really doubt it!
