Same thing here, no trouble on my iPad though signed in fine and the mobile site is working on it, strange

[Gnomicide]

Hard Rock Hell festival used to release the names of a couple of bands a week, they used to give clues on the forum on the Monday and officially announce on the Friday.

Imagine the carnage on here if they did that.

Yup, knocked me back to page 1 of this thread!

They're dragging their feet with everything this year. People on the Recycling Crew still don't know what shifts they'll be doing, which is really annoying for work and travel purposes. And supposedly it was 1st come 1st served for shifts. And I sent my deposit in straight away, so they should have been able to give me the go-ahead in October last year, or whenever it was I sent it....

[timmyno7]

so 11am if it's a mid-morning announcement??

=P

[Acid_Haze]

Been reliably informed tomorrow is announcement day, including day/stage splits. Should be mid-morning.

I think you're wrong

This is the thing that's preoccupying me - I sent my cheque in that morning and have been fidgeting ever since. When I look at some of the grander conspiracy theories on here regarding line up reveal, it makes me think of the the relatively shambolic recycling admin, which kind of tells you the real reason. Its a huge organisational task, they are pretty "relaxed" about how they do things, and they are ready when they are ready.

Incidentally, as someone who's being doing it longer than I have, do you tend to get your first choice? I changed my first preference this year for a change and would really like to settle down the idea that I'm doing it.

Do it - The Temple is the b0llocks. Also, while you're in the vicinity, remember to walk behind the waterfall and go in the door.

We only found the common trying to get out of shangrila, I had my photo taken in front of the waterfall and didn't even know you could get behind it

I think it's The Cave behind the waterfall, if I remember right.

[craigyb31]

That's what I've read since, we are going to spend much more time up there this year, we just seemed to walk around in circles last year looking at things rather than getting into the music. Had a great time but missed so much

[Jonny Hobbs]

ITS MID MORNING!

[FloorFiller]

yeah that's what i've tended to do in the past - walk from place to place without actually staying anywhere longer enough to appreciate it. hopefully will stumble upon something that holds my interest this year

Of what the bands that have been announced so far, for me I think we will being seeing more music this time thats for sure.

What time do we think The Common announcement is going to be. I'm going to guess at 3pm purely because alot of announcements have been around that time so far as was the resale yesterday

[Tuna]

Mid morning is 3pm for us students. Patience.

Yes, The Cave, it's not actually that great but worth a look. It's usually rough jungle in there as I remember. The Temple (bullring) is the main event.

The main stage in Shangri La is decent too (Heaven or Hell, I'm not sure!) and Bez's Acid House is a bit basic but good if you get in there at the right time (good DJ and Bez gurning down a microphone - though his appearances can be a bit sporadic!).

[Winslow Leach]

Yeah, The Cave isn't all that interesting once you get inside. Especially compared to the Block 9 venues which look great from both the outside and once you're in.

I didn't get into the Temple last year, but as far as The Common goes that Copperdollar place was great.

[Andy0808 v5]

While I was out of control drunk on the Friday night I stumbled into the rum shack and common trying to escape shangri la. One of the only things I remember of that Friday night is a beat boxer in the rum shack

[big__phil]

The queue for the Temple always looks really long, which usually puts me off. How long do you normally have to queue for?
