the wonderwhy Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Presumably, as its AEG, this will essentially have the same booze agreement as BST - where they sell plenty of pints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. Not a big fan of BST, but their bars the last few years have always been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Looks like I should be able to see Kelly Lee Ownes, Kelela, Yaeji, Flying Lotus, Beck and Bjork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylbld9 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Gonna be tough to figure out my evening for The National. A few overlaps in that Warpaint-Gengahr-Future Islands-War on Drugs-Pumarosa run. Might have to miss out on the latter two if it's a bit of a walk between stages.

LeFreak Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Delighted with the stage times and I think it has worked out as well as it could have considering the amount of good acts playing. Only going for the first two days but my plan for the two days is: Friday: Gerd Janson > Chromeo > Glass Animals > Chet Faker > Phoenix > LCD Saturday: Despacio > Rhye > Soulwax > Hunee > Justice > The XX The fact that I am even getting to see all of those acts is amazing, thought the clashes would be a lot worse! I will be very disappointed if they are only selling cans of strongbow.. Surely somewhere will be selling pints of lager.. Anyone know are there any good bars around the area for a pint or two before going into the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdFishes290 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really bummed about Justice and Lorde on at the same time but otherwise can’t complain. The fact I can see YYYs, Phoenix, and LCD all back to back is killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Looking like I will be missing the start of some of the acts as I make my way across the site, but hoping to see the below run of acts.... Friday - Superorganism - Hercules & Love Affair (some Gerd too) - Vessels - YYY's - Hot Chip DJ's - LCD Soundsystem Sunday - Octavian - Benin City - Alexis Taylor - Sylvan Esso - Kelala - Friendly Fires - FlyLo - Black Madonna - Bjork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash011 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Confidence Man > Superorganism > Young Fathers > Chromeo > Glass Animals > Yeah Yeah Yeahs > LCD incredible day tbh Rex Orange County > Badbadnotgood > Soulwax > Lorde > The xx Slightly less incredible due to the loss of Justice, but a Lorde is a big draw.

ConfidenceMan Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hey guys. Timetable has me very excited now. Heading over from Ireland on the Friday. Just checking in to see has anyone/everyone who bought from Amazon Tickets received hard copy tix yet? Ts&Cs say not to be worried until a week before but no sign yet so just checking!! Hoping to get to Confidence Man, Superorganism, Young Fathers, Glass Animals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and LCD Soundsystem. Sad to miss Phoenix but sure...

There is also a pub on the roundabout just before you go in but that will be rammed. Edited May 19, 2018 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for The National day, I am hugely excited about seeing The Districts again. I’ll be heading to All We Are and Gengahr after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The more I think about it the more I think only having 5 minutes between the end of WOD on one stage and The National starting on another is a stupid and potentially dangerous decision. The surge from one end of the park to the other will be ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Steve Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Anyone purchased the VIP pass? Just wondered whether you think it's worth the extra £30! I suspect not but would like to know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
