I take it you can get back to the car as often as you want to resupply/charge phones etc, this is one of the reasons for paying for emperors fields, but remember reading something yesterday on the official site about requesting passouts in advance??

The emperors was separated from the carpark by a thin tarmac road, because you were past the wristband checkpoint you were able to travel to your car and back whenever you wanted. No turnstiles or anything. Just walk over the road !

We still don't know where emperors will be this year or what the camping layouts will be like as they were changed last minute last year due to the planned field flooding. I'm sure wherever it is will have the usual set up

Its nowhere near as much hard work as most other festivals! Queues at the bars are generally nominal, stages are very close together.

Just realised exactly 2 weeks today I'll be there, pitched and starting on the tinnies. Schweet!

Anyone got any experience with the Bell tents, we've booked one but i'm not sure if we need Thursday entry tickets or if they'd be included as tent will be set up anyway?

I'd imagine they'd still say we need them but i can't seem to get any reply from the emails i've sent.

Just a quick question not been before and drivin from Manchester. The site says come off M6 AT J39 which takes you through Shap on the A6, Isn't it quicker to come off the M6 at J40 or is that closed to festival traffic.

You'll find they take a while to respond due to the amount of mail they get on the run up to the festival. They'll get back to you eventually. If its an easy question then try asking them a question on a facebook post, they tend to respond quicker on there

No bar in the emperors but you can walk through to the one in general camping easily enough, there will be a few food stalls and the general shop next to the bar as well I would guess.

Couple of minutes stroll from emperors to the bar

What are peoples thoughts on this...

Last year we arrived on thurs early doors and queued about an hour to get in. While in the queue we had to keep stopping then picking up our very heavy bags again, so this year I was thinking of just queueing with my tent and beer then setting up and going back for my bag?

Surely this wont be an issue? Only problem maybe that they need to search my bag when I go in second time even with my wristband.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
