Quick, but not quite as quick as you'd expect. Big Ground tends to go first.

Based on last year, you'll probably be able to find space for a small 2 man tent, maybe a bit more than that. For some reason it wasn't anywhere near as crowded as some of the other fields despite being the most central.

It certainly looks like I'll be looking for a new home, then. Was hoping to make park home ground the standard yearly destination after such a good first year in 2013. I'm thinking dairy ground, pennard hill ground or oxlyers could all be suitable. Would any veterans care to make a recommendation from those three choices?

Very exciting :-D doesn't look like we'll be camping where we used to either, though it's still possible

The layout of the late night stuff seems much wiser can't wait to see how it works out

We had decided on Bushy this year (usually camp in Rivermead as have previously come by coach). Now worried about how much busier it will be with people not wanting to camp too close to Arcadia - we like a bit of space around our tent which we definitely got in Rivermead, but driving this year, two of us carrying tents etc for six people due to late arrivals, don't fancy lugging it all over to Rivermead. Gah!

Never camped in Pennards before, but thought id read something on here, wasnt it the bottom of Pennards that flooded one year, so the stopped people camping at the bottom, but is this the place theyve re-opened?

Hopefully Arcadia being moved away from Other will mean it can open earlier and have more acts playing.

Then more people will be able to experience being in the circle of speakers, rather than all cramming in to watch 2 DJs in a night.

Also concerned by the disappearance of Gully...

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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...
