Does that take place across the stages or just as Bang Hai? 

What time can you leave from? Car park access is restricted isn't it?

Banghai and sector 6 were the big ones last time I think, but they do what they want so who knows this year.

And you can leave anytime, it's getting in that's restricted.

They also had a bit at the end on Town Centre stage.

Has anyone here got any Wednesday Early Entry shuttle tickets for sale? 

I need around 4-5 and I didn't think it would sell out, not really feeling paying £30 more for essentially the same thing.

I'm happy that they are my most anticipated act , I like having something to look forward to on the Sunday, but techno Sunday in the forest sounded very appealing. I am hoping that is all day.

I'm still not sure that's correct. 

Sleaford Mods are also down to play on the Sunday on their website, and Enter Shakiri are down to play on the Saturday. Die Antwoord are down to play on the Sunday.

Which doesn't really leave anyone to go against Gorillaz and split the crowd.

So what we thinking -

Gorillaz - Saturday

Limp Bizkit/Die Antwoord - Sunday 

That's a flash and a half too!

Mighty fine way to use up whatever tread is left on those dancing shoes.

I really hope Bizkit/Die Antwoord do not clash.

 

Nice to have the map I'm going to print a couple.

When do they usually release the build up video? The one that hints more at the story?

Gah! I really fancy that, but it looks certain to clash with the Sunday Night Techno Takeover, and for me that’s a non-negotiable, obviously!

I hate to be that guy but I seriously hope it cools down a bit by the festival...

At least the woods provide lots of shady spots to chill out in etc. A little cooler will be ideal but I just have my fingers crossed for dry and preferably not cold. 

They certainly shouldn't have the same issues with the build this year!

Is it hot down those ways? 

I'd take the weather as it is now where I am... happy with it keeping dry regardless!

[Sku]

Warm (not hot), overcast (but not windy), and most importantly dry days make for a perfect festival in my opinion.
