man next door 7 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 I reckon MA and Specials are both reasonably shouts. Until now, I'd have said they are too big, but Bearded do keep upping the level each year. They'd cost a packet, but probably justifiable on grounds of ticket sales / profile etc. Personally, I'd rather see a band at the peak of their performance like Cat Empire, or Fat Freddy's Drop. It looks like Bearded are conscious of not booking 3 ancient headliners so there's always a chance. Then something like Toots for sunday night , and I'd be very happy.

With Paul Weller announcing summer shows he could be a possible ? Like Robert Plant he is not an act that many people would disagree with. I am excited tho to get the line up updates !!! I would love to see Hookworms there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the exception of a few Jam classics I ain’t a fan , but hey Years back Bob Geldoff played a festival and with the exception of early Boomtown Rats I was not bothered , but I hold my hands up and say it was an incredible set and I would certainly watch him again with far more regard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would suit us all better if they were at different times to watch / avoid as you choose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missed Glasto tix this time around and looking to pop my Bearded cherry and I would be all over this. If they added Jason Isbell I'd happily die on the Sunday night afterwards.

Trout Mask Replica 88 Report post Posted November 28, 2018 Our first time at BT next year... Going to take the campervan? Anyone have any experience of that. How are the facilities? Is it outside of the festival main site as per Glastonbury? Pass outs etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incident 306 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 There's 2 campervan fields, one right next to the Arena, and one across the (public, and not closed) road. No passouts, just a wristband and for the most part the checks going into the Arena are fairly low key - if you're wearing short sleeves you might not even notice them happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How are the facilities? Is it outside of the festival main site as per Glastonbury? Pass outs etc? Campervan Field 1 is next to the Arena and Campervan Field 2 ( as we call em ) is just over the main road a few minutes walk from everything. Just as you leave 1 and go into 2 there was a bar there this year and toilets nearby which was handy for the short walk in As I remember it both fields are flat which is always a bonus. We camped in 2 and it was fine , nice and quiet there are toilets at the edge of the field and water points , vehicles nice and spaced out so we had no trouble leaving on the Sunday night. As said there are no pass outs just the occasional pleasant request to show your wristband. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just say I believe it stems from a conversation at a Leeds gig earlier in the year with the bands guitarist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
