Does anybody know what kind of time the bands usually start on the Friday? unsure what time to plan on heading to the festival.

[dentalplan]

I think Friday it was around 4/5pm on the main stages. Not entirely sure as I can't find the programme. They're open on Thursday this year though so it might start earlier as there'll be more people there at the start of Friday

That's pretty late isn't it? Still I'm not complaining, gives me the majority of the afternoon to get mashed.

[dentalplan]

Well that was just the Friday because most people were coming in on the Friday afternoon. It's probably not gonna be the same this year as they've allowed Thursday entry and have a seemingly full bill on Friday so it'll probably be the normal 1pm-ish time.

Yeah that makes sense. Should be good either way, bit annoying that Beck and Jon Hopkins are clashing though.

[johnl]

Will they clash or is tho one of those festivals where the main stage headliner has no competition. Can any one advise please?

[dentalplan]

The main two stages flip flop - so the acts on each stage don't clash. Eg. Tom Odell finishes then Jon Hopkins starts, and as he finishes Beck starts. It's just a couple of minutes walk between the two stages.

[johnl]

Excellent so I'll be able too see Steve Mason and London Grammar. I'm so looking forward to this - it's a great line up for me.

That is excellent news! Are you going this year DP?

[dentalplan]

Not this year, though I wish I was as it seems to be the best overall lineup they've done so far. I've been recommending the festival as much as possible though as on top of the lineup it's got a great atmosphere and it's really cool if you get to explore the village.

[Timberford]

That's great news the main stage and iStage don't clash.

How does the Late Night Pavilion work? Does it start after the main stage finishes?

[dentalplan]

Yep. Well it's the same tent so it needs to.

Shame you're not going this year. It does sound really good from your description and others that I've heard.

[zero000]

Also does anyone know how strict they are with the booze limit? 1 crate for a weekend isn't a lot.

[Timberford]

Yep. Well it's the same tent so it needs to.

Ha brilliant!

I had feared a Beck vs Jon Hopkins vs Todd Terje mega-clash but this means I can see all 3! Excellent!

Does anyone have the timings from last year? I realise they obviously wont be the same, but I just wanted to get a feel for when some stages actually run. What sort of time they finish etc. etc.

For example I think the Estuary stage last act was 8pm last year...

[mrbananapants]

Any idea when tickets are getting dispatched? They're cutting it fine (like all great festivals!)

[Apple3211]

Mine arrived today

[mrbananapants]

Hmmmm

I'm curious, did you get an email saying they'd been dispatched or did your tickets just turn up?

[Timberford]

I have an email from Royal Mail telling me they tried to deliver but couldn't. I presume this is because no-one was in to sign for them.

Mines arrived today, no signature required.

[johnl]

Mine came today too. Woohoo really looking forward to it.

If anyone lives local can you tell me if it's possible or not to cross the A487 at Snowdon Street in Porthmadog as that looks the most direct route to the park and ride from where I'm staying?

[katster_14]

Hey! I'm considering going solo and getting day/ eve tickets and staying locally. Anyone else going on their own and fancy checking a couple of acts out? Or even not going on their own but up for an ale? I have glitter! Cheers, Kat

[Timberford]

Anyone that's been before... do they release the set timings through anything other than buying the programme on-site?

I've pre-booked one anyway, but the cynical side of me thinks they're withholding the times to try and flog as many programmes (at a tenner a go!!!) as they can.

[Emma has]

Does anyone have a campervan ticket up for grabs by any chance?? Please me know xx
