SighMo Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I usually stick a flag pole with flag in the ground purely for tent identification purposes; not for in the arena. Are you able to do this as I notice it says no flags or poles on the IoW page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooxld Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 That's fine, always been loads of flags in camping area. They just don't want them in front of the stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SighMo Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks, ooxld. First time at IoW Festival and I've only been to two before; Glastonbury and Green Man, both last year. Looking at IoW pics it looks smaller than Green Man though I could well be wrong. Is everywhere rammed all the time or is it easy enough to get a beer?

ooxld Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 No, generally loads of space apart from in main arena. Bars in main arena have queues but other bars in other more minor stages easy to get served, we spent most time away from main stage in random areas. it's nothing like the size of Glastonbury. camp site to main stage 20min walk, and you're not pushing through people, unless you wanna get to stage front.

SighMo Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Sounds just what I need; fairly chilled out when you fancy it. Not overly bothered about any of the headliners so will happily just mooch about and stop where I fancy. Starting to look forward to it now; don't live very far away really (Bournemouth) but I've only ever been on the Island a couple of times.

ooxld Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 We're travelling from Christchurch, just down the road from you. On the Saturday (gold theme day) if you see a man in robot leggings, Upper torso sprayed gold, wearing a top hat come and say hi. Have a great time.

UndergroundSound Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Very happy with this, absolutely great that the stage is open on the thursday. Kicking off the festival with Avalanche party late Thursday night will be a belter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam217 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Another’s stage announced. Platform 1 stage. I need to update the clashfinder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauSEJOURMusic Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you're up early enough, I really recommend popping to Platform One stage on Sunday morning (11.30am) to see Annabelle Spencer, she's excellent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam217 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Clashfinder updated. Hopefully not long before the full timetables are released https://clashfinder.com/s/iow2018/ Edited June 5, 2018 by Sam217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam217 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Also updated my Spotify playlist and if anyone's interested I made playlists for each stage. For the smaller stages there are artists that don't have songs on Spotify but I think its a good way to help discover new talent before the festival even begins. Main playlist: Main Stage Playlist: Big Top: Hard Rock Stage: This Feeling Stage: Kashmir Cafe: Electro Love Stage: Platform 1 Stage: Hope this is helpful for people! Just over 2 weeks to go! I can't wait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooxld Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Any ideas what type of music is playing in this area, I don't know the artists. It's says Smirnoff House but is it House / dance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's mainly dj's, a lot of them have 2 hour sets and like you I've not heard of any of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there is a closer car park to Pink Moon? It's the only one shown on the app, the maps split into two parts: Arena and Campsites. No idea if there are anymore but the fact that it's coloured suggests there might be more, although they could be even further away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauSEJOURMusic Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Unless I'm going blind, I can't seem to find Electro Love anywhere on the maps. Do you guys know whereabouts it normally is? I'm interested in quite a few things there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooxld Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've signed up for Liftshare which apparently will get me parking closer to gates. I'm basically giving a friend a lift and so he signed up for it and we paired up via the Liftshare link giving me free voucher to show at parking entrance to get the closer parking. Easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
