Ooh lovely stuff - fingers crossed someone can leak one for Coventry now!! I have to say - I'm surprised no stage times have been announced yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to factor in at least 15 minutes change over time between slots I would think. an hour of the Manics and an hour and 15 for Beck sounds probable. 40-55 minutes for most of the others.

True but I still feel like a 55 minute set for the first act of the day is quite rare by the standards of these events, either way with how tightly packed it is there's going to be some horrible clashes with the other stage.

Guessing that FJM is on first for logistical reasons - plenty of time to set up the orchestra beforehand and a 15-20 minute slot to get all the instruments/chairs etc off the stage. Looks like Shame will clash with First Aid Kit which is fine by me as I've seen FAK a couple of times already. Wished they'd have clashed with Ash but still..

We're a family of 4 with 2 kids so we need something but all my usual festival gear is just too big so looking for some ideas. Large bags are not allowed to be taken into the festival. There is no cloakroom. Small bags, one per ticket holder, are allowed into the events with the dimensions W21cm x H30cm x D8cm(the size of A4 paper). We appreciate your cooperation and patience when entering the events. Bloody hell, can you even get bags that size? And I think it'll be a struggle to get all the sun cream and evening attire in it!

Stuart1000 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Just as an FYI, having been to Big Weekend a few years ago as well as 6Music Live, the changeovers were longer than it should take for most bands. 40min minimum if I remember correctly. The big one that comes to mind was an hour between Paolo Nutini (standard band setup) and Katy Perry (standard band setup with a few props).

Will have to miss the end of Taylor Swift to make it over to James Bay but quite happy it's possible to see both. Really not bothered about Florence. Just need to find myself a poncho now as I don't trust the Welsh weather and every forecast I've seen has been different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonodillieono Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I've came over from Manchester to Belfast for the weekend on my own. Going through a tough time at the minute and feeling down as fuck, can I tag along with someone going? I'll probably be there from 1pm both days. PM me if you're up for a 24 year old who plans on getting quite drunk to tag along with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
