Are The Wonder Years confirmed? Just had a look at the Clashfinder, which obviously isn't official/reliable source, but I cant see why they're even listed on there

They've tried by adding the Dance Stage & 1Xtra. I don't have a clue what the solution is, maybe just keep it as it is & just cater the usual school leavers as their first big fest. Paid by mom & dad.

I think the curfews in the UK are a major disadvantage when compared with what the other European festivals are able to do. From the 2 outside of the UK I've been too both have had a great format for how their days are set out.

Nos Alive - Main stage until 1:30am curfew with bands and major acts all day, all the other stages remain open until 4AM with the dance stage having acts like Dillon Francis, Diplo, Jamie XX etc. and the '2nd stage' having acts like Elbow, Parov Stellar, Caribou, SBTRKT, Daughter through the night.

Sziget - 24 hour festival for 7 days, all genres of music throughout the day and so much other stuff to do and the 7 day ticket is still cheaper than Reading! 

I don't understand how any of them make money in Europe, especially if so many UK festivals struggle to make a profit.

Wouldn't mind The Temper Trap

[nickybu]

Will there be any activities/bands/DJs/events on between 24th August and when the festival starts? I'm going to be arriving in the evening on the 24th to set up camp and I'm wondering if there will be things to do.

Nah, just get wasted.

I'm totally planning to do that, but isn't the silent disco ever on either Wednesday or Thursday? I know last year it apparently was but we never got to it, the fair opened up though on the Thursday

i got there on the Thursday last year all we did was drink and meet new people. i think some aspiring bands were on in a bbc tent or something maybe. I've seen a few people joking about first timers getting raped in the long drops on other threads  I was fine though so no need to worry.

Reading or Leeds?

Leeds have the Relentless stage on the Thursday normally...

Reading opened up the fair but fenced off the rest of the arena last year... never bothered heading over for the silent disco myself so can't comment if that happens on a Thursday either.

Good shit. They were great on the Thursday of Leeds last year. 

[she bangs the drums]

Please get on with the announcement, as this forum is in great need for something festival related to talk about. 

[Cian T]

Ey, give them time.. They've got to come up with a day that begins with "G" first..
