Panic is a decent headliner tbh, they're a bigger name IMO than All American Rejects who headlined 2014. 

This year was the 10th anniversary. Dunno why they're trying to say its 10th anniversary next year, its the 11th. Its a standard year, they're a good fit. Its always worth the money when you see the full line up anyway.

No they're decent. Just compared to how big last year was, the BMTH thing and with them pushing the 10th anniversary it is just seems a little bit of a disappointment.

You've only got yourself to blame for setting yourself up for disappointment. It was pretty apparent to most people that last year was a one off in terms of size - they've mentioned the 10th anniversary thing this year to sell a few t-shirts and that but last year was the big one. 

I don't recall seeing any rumours of BMTH anywhere - that was just wishful thinking. Id say it was pretty obvious to most people that it wouldn't be BMTH headlining - if you were naive to think it would happen then that's your own fault. They've gone back to the normal size headliner they usually operate at as was to be expected. 

I can't wait to see people bitchinng and moaning about the price for this year when the lineup isn't as good as last year - despite the fact they gave everyone a mental lineup last year for the price it was.

Happy about NFG, not a Panic! fan and not really heard of the rest.  But saying that spent the whole of this year's at the 3rd stage watching the early 2000's ska punk acts and still got incredible value for money - think there were 3 or 4 headliners I could have seen too.  Plus, Hatfield is just down the road so overall a fab festival.

    • 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.
