Someone like Vampire Weekend/Eels/Iggy Pop headlining then, maybe? Lowlands first names tomorrow, may give another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I am still completely over the moon with this line up. So much stronger than the first announcement last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyboypricey Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Franz could be a potential headliner. Really happy with the lineup. Broken Social Scene, Whitney, Car Sear Headrest & Julia Jacklin are all great live and i've not seen Father John, Idles, Big Thief or Khruangbin yet. Great to have some jazzy options and I went to see Hadestown at the National Theatre last year so looking forward to seeing Anais Mitchell.

OddRon Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 That last Father John Misty tour had the perfect setlist for me and I was gutted I could not get to any dates so fingers crossed for no new material(After God's Favourite Customer I mean, that was aoty for me) and the same setlist, I've seen him four times now but that's perfect with I went to the store one day, Please Don't Die, Real love Baby and Date Night, only thing it's missing is Night Josh Tillman came to our apt.

DJL Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just bought tickets for the first time this year. Very excited about the line-up announcement and it looks a lovely festival. Wondering how anyone might compare it to the likes of Latitude, Blue Dot or Bestival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexj Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nowhere near as mental as Bestival, totally different vibe! Suspect it's more like the other two but I've not been to them so can't comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best of those four: sightliest site, best beers, nicest punters, and the line up’s not too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) If you're a Slowdive/Pixies fan i'd recommend checking Just Mustard out. Kinda like a mixture of the two. They're right at the bottom of the line up. Edited January 31, 2019 by lessthanwill1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93jag01 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Is anyone else having to make the decision between Green Man and End of the Road? Both lineups look pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food? Dare I say it... showers? There are showers, can be massive queues in the morning. Food very good and plenty of choice, beer pretty decent but they always run out in the ale tent. Also have a Beavertown Bar if you don't mind their prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you on the second point; I've never showered at any festival, and with God as my witness never will I. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking on both forums at the same time and then got massively distracted by the new King Gizzard video. My point about showers still stands, although it's probably the same at every festival now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s camping like? Food? Dare I say it... showers? Camping was great last year although that was helped by the amazing weather. I'd say wherever you camped you'd be not more than 10 minutes from the site. Also, there are two car parks - blue and orange. Blue is the closest and i think it's already sold out but even then, the walk from orange parking to where we camped last year was about 15 minutes. Food was amazing. Great options for vegetarians/vegans if that applies to you. The Goan Fish Curry place is incredibly popular. The thai place that was in the Walled Garden (think it was called Mommi?) was my favourite, it did an amazing phad thai. You could be there for a couple of weeks and never run out of options. I didn't use the showers so can't help you there. I can't remember the name of the area now but there's a place on the site that almost looked like a spa. You could have massages, nice showers and there were about 10-15 hot tubs which I think you have to book beforehand. One of the main reasons that attracts people to GM again and again is the lack of corporate sponsorship (a deliberate decision made by the people who run it). This is why the beer & ale festival in the Courtyard has 100+ different independent welsh beers to try and there's no Amstel/Tuborg/Heineken anywhere! Prices were pretty good as well (£3.50-£5.50 for a pint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
