Gnomicide Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Number of days between the first big lineup drop and the start of the festival. I worked it out as the festival starting on Friday until 2010 when I switched to Wednesday being the first day. I can't remember when they started advertising as Wednesday being the 1st day. I'm bound to have cocked something up so don't look too closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Magazine would publish the times for the 4-5 biggest stages, then The Guardian website would add another 5 or 6 - you wouldn't find out the times for anything else until you read the programme - or given that back then some places had a habit of missing the print deadline until you read the chalkboard / sign posted outside the stage.
