Front of Stage

[Frazerbob]

I’m coming down from Aberdeen for Saturday & Sunday, primarily for Depeche Mode but loving the Sunday line-up. I’ve been to TITP several times as well as a few festivals abroad. First time at IOW though so here’s my question......

How does access to the FOS area work, is it just first come, first served? What time would I need to get there to bag a spot for Depeche? 

Thanks, not long now!

First time at IOW for me but been Glasto 5 times, and from experience, there will be people from the previous 2-3 acts all there  still, 50% may move on to other act as each act finishes. It’s at this point you try to move foward as fast as possible, after the next gig do the same again, then you should have a decent spot, it’s always easier to move from the sides in along rows of people rather than go through rows and rows

^^ This.    At my last IoW,  Pharrel was on before Blur, and I took advantage of the huge swathe of Pharrel fans leaving, ended up pretty much at the front for Blur.   I'm planning to do the same thing this year for the  Script/Kasabian transition :')

If you want to be in the railing then start of the previous band.  If you’re happy 3-4 rows back then end of the previous band
