Me, my wife and eldest daughter will be there. I wonder how many tickets are unsold?

It's been a few years since we last went, but from what I've read it hasn't changed a great deal.
Hope the weather is good.

Will be my first visit since 2009, really looking forward to it. Having checked out vids and blogs from recent years it looks like it hasn't changed a bit. Stellar line-up this year and I am dragging my usual Glastonbury crew with me so they can get their fallow year festival fix.

We'll be there, full family of four. We haven't been since 2011 so really looking forward to it. This year we've doubled up with sister festival Bearded Theory, so BDs has a lot to live up to.

I'm doing both this year too - what a brilliant festival BT was

It was, one of the best yet. But BDs should brilliant too!

Most looking forward to The Hives

Was watching some of them live on YouTube earlier - we could be in for a treat. Otherwise there's always something else good on at BDs, I've discovered some real gems by chance there

I'll be there :)

i also went to Bearded Theory, and was blown away. That'll be a regular fixture in my year, now, as will Beautiful Days. Hoping the good weather lasts a few more weeks!

Most looking forward to seeing Vintage Trouble again, and Slow Reader's Club, Feeder and The Wildhearts. Plus, the Barsteward Sons of Val Doonican and Mik Artistik are always on my list if they're playing at a festival!

My first time this year so looking forward to a new festival.

Spending the wednesday night at my son's in weston s mare to break the drive up then meeting a few friends at exeter services on thursday morning.

What's the thursday night at the festival like, is it just a quiet night around the camp or do they have a few acts on like at Bearded Theory.

Aye, my first BDs but also taking my brother to his first camping festival. He's really keen on seeing Suzanne Vega, so can see me foregoing the Hives party on Friday night for a bit of a chilled one.

Loads to look forward to. Return viewings for Skinny Lister, Dub Pistols, Vintage Trouble, DEFINITELY Mik and Hobo Jones, and p[robably end up seeing 3DM again just because I always do even when I don't mean to!

First time watches for Manics, 40 Shillings on the Drum, Suzanne Vega, Gogol Bordello.

Looking forward, heard nothing but good things from those I know who've been before :)

I'll continue to bang the drum for 3 Daft Monkeys.  Seen them so many times and always enjoy it. Take yer dancing shoes.

Has the day splits and running order been released somewhere?

Not yet, but when they released the first line up dump back in March it said that Vega would be Friday night in the Big Top

More the former really. All the food/bars/cafes etc will be open, there are small places to hang out like the Tea Tent, but no acts will be on.

Sold out now. Must have been in the last couple of days as they were on sale still at the end of last week. Normally sold out way before then. For me the line up isn't as good this year, maybe others thought the same?. Plenty of 'oh, ok I'll give them a go' bands but no must sees. Was going to give BD a miss this year but by the time I can got commitments for my glasto mates to go to Greenman, that had sold out, so we went for BD. Its always good so not too fussed ?

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
