Small camping stoves are allowed but not bbqs. I think they've said on the Facebook page that there will be an area where you can bbq, but not at your tent. Your also not allowed fires. In the Emperors field a couple of years ago someone had a brazier. I don't remember them being told to put it out. I suppose it depends if you get spotted but you have to consider the safety factor when everyone camps so close together.

Theyll struggle to control the no bbq at the tent rule, theyre must have been half the festival lighting disposable ones . I appreciate for safety reasons a seperate bbq area would be better but cant see many people adhering to it.

Well, I got our tickets just after Rock Ness when we looked at Belladrum and someone in the forum mentioned Kendal.

I'm Thursday too, we should definitely get a meet up.

Rock Ness has the same BBQ rule, designated areas only. The reality is people use them without issue or complaint.

Keep them well away from your tent though... carbon monoxide kills BBQ campers! Just four UK examples out of 100s... aged six, aged 14, aged 30, aged 40 & 45.

Yeah had a decent time at the meet up last year, we'll start a post closer to the time. No doubt thursday at the campsite tent at 8pm will be the outcome ! Micks not going till friday so im sure there will be a beer or 2 then as well.

I also need to sort the prediction game out, although after the first 1 or 2 announcements I doubt its changed !

Emperors had the same enterance last year so the queues Friday morning were reported to be bad, sure the sped up after a while. There's talk of a possible separate entrance for emperors entry this year but until the map comes out we won't know for sure.

There's bound to be loads of decent camp spots in the lakes, sure some of the locals on here could advise you.

There hasn't been anything specific for disabled people in the past that I'm aware of, certainly no seperate camp area or larger toilets like wickerman had. A couple of years ago we were in emperors and asked where the disabled area was and were greeted with blank looks. To be fair we never found it an issue as there was plenty of space and the arena enterance was relatively close.

Things may have been updated this year but I've never read anything about it.

There was hell on last year, the rule wasn't supposed to be in place but some f the security didn't realise, from what I know the problem was rectified straight as soon as they could, I'd be amazed if that policy is in place this year.

There's bound to be an announcement in the run up to the festival clarifying what's happening

    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
