Very excited to see American Football as an SR. If they're put on the same day as Maccabees or Metallica I'd consider breaking the bank for a day ticket. Where would they best fit? It's tricky one to tell?

Edit: Please can no one repeat the 'They've already played Wembley so they must headline' joke, it wasn't all that great the first time.

I had a day ticket in 2012 and there was very little actually preventing me from staying in the campsite that evening

Aye. They way Leeds is laid out (Dunno about Reading) you could technically buy 3 day tickets and just stay on the camping premises at night if you wanted to.

I reckon they could play mid NME or high FR/Lock-Up personally, they are difficult to place

Excluding the last 2 years I'd have put them mid NME, but I can't see them fitting the younger audience that stage seems to be *moving towards*, there wasn't really any comparable NME bookings last year, but that doesn't necessarily rule them out.

FR headliner with the stage closing early would be my preference, but it is very hard to guess. The way the non NME/Main bands are normally announced on announcement days suggests we might have to wait a while to see.

Edit: *Aiming almost exclusively for* - Would be a better way of putting this

"This tent is just for a mate, i swear"

Sleep in the car. Parking's free. As long as you can stay beyond the headliners and do silent disco, stage in the woods, picadilly etc.

Depending on the lineup I might just do 2 days, stay at my mates the other day cos they'll be doing the same as me. If it's good enough though I'll buy a weekend ticket, have a base in the festival and possibly pop back to their houses for a shower or a comfortable nights sleep on say Friday/saturday night to come back refreshed for the rest of the week/weekend...

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
