Hackney Weekend :D

[iPaulo xD]

Im driving down all the way from north wales, and being the c**t i am i have a ticket for both days, Is there any car parks close that i can use during the saturday and sunday? will just sleep in the car in a laybye on the nearest motorway..

[lacney]

How did you bag tickets for both days?!

I'm not local but I'm also going the Saturday and I read on the Hackney council website that they are putting more transport on later to make sure everyone gets home, don't know if that helps?

[iPaulo xD]

I have 2 email addresses, then i just used my home address and my uni house address to get the tickets

[lacney]

Why didn't I think of this... fair play!

[iPaulo xD]

Rudimental have been added to the saturday INMWT stage..

[RDCL]

quite disappointed to see deadmau5 is playing really early on in the day. I would've expected him to sub the tent, or at least get a night time slot for full effects of his lightshow. hoping he at least gets a crowd he deserves.

have a feeling dizzee rascal will play third on the saturday. cant really think of anyone else who will fit the bill.

[mrtourette]

Is there any substance to it, or just a rumour you heard from a mate?

If its true bet the wireless promoters are pissed!

and hopefully Radio 1 don't move any of our saturday acts!!

[Macca3031]

Does anyone know whether there are set times anywhere. Mostly interested to know if the INMWT stage shuts before the main, really want to see Jack White and Jay Z

[iPaulo xD]

No set times been announced yet

[iPaulo xD]

Nicki Minaj has been announced as the first special guest on the saturday

[Dusteh]

Damn, I was hoping for Kanye.

They couldn't have got anyone worse.

hi , im coming down for saturday. problem is i will have my backpack. i dont think i can take it inside the hackney marshes with me. can i store my bag somewhere near central london and collect it at night ?

[Dusteh]

Pretty sure you can take bags in, you'll just have to have it searched for things like alcohol, etc.

[LondonTom]

what about sleeping bag?

[iPaulo xD]

Really dreading the parking situation after hearing there is no car parks apparently?

[freeak]

BBC introducing and Outdoor Dance Stages have been added.

I thought I had booked two tickets for me and my wife to go but only mine turned up

Looking back at the confirmation email it said only one ticket but I never double checked, proper gutted!

[Vanderlyle]

Anybody heard any rumours for Special Guests on Sunday?

I was initially a bit grumpy at my g/f getting Sunday tickets instead of Saturday... but with Rihanna rumoured to be ill, and a sub-headline slot tbc, I'm really hoping they just blow the budget on a massive Indie act like Pulp/Radiohead. I'm aware it sort of misses the point of the festival, but would still be great:)

Oh yeah - and I am psyched, really psyched, for Nas on the 1Xtra stage. Does anyone have any idea of whether the headliners of each stage will be on at a similar time?

[the wonderwhy]

Think its Cheryl Cole

Special announcement at 4 on Radio 1 apparently...
