Roughly correct; there will also be some small side shows earlier - I think the timing may coincide with the changeover on the Other Stage. One of the things is new for Glastonbury, so worth a look if one is over that way.

I was hoping they would make a big song and dance about arcadia this year to attract as many as possible away from the SE corner, however they don't seem to be doing this.

Doesn't make much sense to me as at the moment many casual festival goers (i.e those not glued to this board) probably wouldnt even know its moved, let alone be attracted to go anywhere else than the SE corner.

I thought the whole point of moving it was so that they could spread the late night crowds better, i don't see how not confirming artists and pushing it in such a manner will help really.

Looks like sheep being herded to SE corner again this year, something which i was hoping would be less of an issue.

True, they also have it set up in a circular pattern projecting inwards, this means effectively if you get the phasing right the sound waves cancel each other out as soon as you move outside the circle. Projects far less than a Line array from one of the main stages.

I remember at bestval standing right behind one of the stacks and it was quiet enough to have a normal conversation, move into the circle and it as massively loud. Only thing is I guess if the crowd is big not everyone can be in the circle.

I read somewhere on this forum that Funktion One weren't supplying the speakers @ Glastonbury anymore, I also read on a blog somewhere that there was a falling out over the sound quality one year and that for the last few years they have used line arrays? Funktion One have never made a line array, Tony Andrews has never appeared to be a fan.

Unless of course the differences have been settled with Glastonbury and Funktion One..

I was a bit surprised to read that bad press as Funktion One are supposedly the holy grail.

So....

Friday: RAM records with Andy C etc (prob with Loadstar or Wilkinson etc)

Saturday: ??????

Sunday: Ratpack with Baby D and Angie Brown

Any rumours for the Saturday...?

A little surprised with the Ratpack booking, no one really knows about them anymore but will work..

I predict an announcement today. Arcadia on facebook said leak soon 3 days ago..

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
