Thanks ... and ... bum. It's further away. Ahh well, it's not as far away as an off-site campervan site would be, and it's the only way they could squeeze my van in and I'm grateful for them going the extra mile to do that for me. I can't really complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 To anyone going, try to catch Lanterns On the Lake performance with Royal Northern Sinfonia, I saw this at the Sage in Gatehead and it was just sensational. I was hoping they might have been at Glastonbury. Wish I was going looks a cracking line up and festival. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a listen and sounds great. I think most things on the bill will be worth catching to be honest. Really excited now We're getting a train after work tomorrow so I need to do my packing tonight...

Nebulous Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Stellar line-up, I absolutely had to buy a ticket at the last minute, all my mates are either skint or going to Tramlines in Sheffield so I'm braving it on my own... anyone else daft enough?

tillyandthewall Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yeah I'm on my own, I've done it loads of times as a worker, and Bestival as a punter when its lineups were stellar. It's easy to buddy up with groups camping nearby, and you're an extra eye on their tents to keep everyone safe and secure. I reckon it'll be a slightly older crowd for this one.

Adster Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 This has to be a mistake surely? PSB are a big highlight for me From the clashfinder revision notes: Quote 27 minutes ago by festivalfanaticThis looks ridiculous but Ive been in contact with PSB on twitter and they have said they will be on c. 19:15 for 40 mins! This will annoy 48% of people who have highlighted their clashfinders. SORRY! And the tweet in question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S i a n Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Am I right in thinking that camping is open from Friday? Eeek I hope so otherwise we'll have to find a small corner somewhere if it's actually open from Thursday.... 5 hours ago, Zoo Music Girl said: Cheers for the recommendation - and cheers to those suggesting Floating Points.

I doubt you'd have a problem anyway, as I don't think it's sold out... I'm in London and we're up north tomorrow night, staying with friends and driving over Friday. Does mean I have to be super-organised a whole day early mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they might have been at Glastonbury. These are a must for me, been meaning to catch them for ages. Their recent Manchester gig I had to miss for my work Christmas do, that was a bugger. If ever there was a band that suits having a orchestra with them, this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulouboo Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I've finally bought a ticket after looking wistfully at the line up for months- will be living on lentils come Autumn but who cares- dancing under the stars awaits. It all looks bloody brilliant!! Being bit brave and will be my first festival on my own so if anyone would like to meet up - drop me a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm going all very excited - didn't realise there was a clashfinder oooh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 And yes the site is incredibly tiny - we went there a few years back to see sigur ros and the manc halle orchestra but didn't get to camp on site - that's very exciting on it's own. Shall have to aim for where we can see both dishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axel75 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Will be having lunch whilst LotL are on, someone mentioned we should be able to see the stage whilst eating. Hope so. See u there, also travelling up from Euston today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero000 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hope everyone enjoys the festival!

Amy Lawn Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Time are we all rocking up tomorrow? Probably going to aim for just before 2. Reckon I'll head down the A34 rather than the M6, I do not trust the M6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Have fun all, I can't wait. looking forward to seeing iMC and PSB tomorrow early evening, a great start to what could, and should be a cracking weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandolin Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 We're going to try to get there for around 2 too. Would like to get settled in have a wander and a beer (or three) before the formalities Don"t quite know why but I am crazily excited for this festival. Travel safe and have fun everyone.

tillyandthewall Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 My coach leaves Stockport at 1.15 so I reckon about 2pm at the latest? I'll have to faff around at the box office for my ticket as well. Think the A roads may be better than the M6 for drivers, a guy at my office who commutes from Stockport goes via Jodrell Bank to miss the M6.

zero000 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Think we'll end up aiming for two as well. The M6 can go and do one, I'll avoid it at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Also I still haven't packed and now I'm off to the pub, this could be a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
