There’s always something out there but only twice in the 11 years I’ve been there previously have I been wowed. 

Even though it’s not the biggest festival going, I do feel it punches below it’s weight when you see some smaller festivals pull some genuine class out of the hat at times. 

I don’t see tonight being any different. Just hoping we don’t get the same old acts we see every 2-3 years making their return.

Quick question, is there anywhere near the festival to buy alcohol? Getting the train from Glasgow and don’t really fancy having to carry crates of booze as well as all my other stuff. 

there’s a town near the site called Penrith with plenty of shops for booze, KC is about a ten/fifteen minute drive from there

There’s a huge Morrison’s out of the centre. We always stock up there. They’ve got a camping section too, to get everything you inevitably forgot.

That’s handy to know then, aren’t there buses that run from the station to the festival?

Looks like it might be right. I’ve got X Radio on, they’ve announced Courteeners, Doves, Manics, Gerry Cinnamon, Chic & Nile Rogers, Fratellis, Leftfield, Mystery Jets, Tom Jones, Idols, Cuban Brothers and some others I don’t remember!

EDIT: They’ve put a list on the Radio X site

Can’t believe we got away wirt Run DMC! Hoping Orbital headline as a nighttime set would be great. 5 headliners into 4 nights doesn’t go

Orbital looks like Thursday headline as there is an asterisk as previous Thursday headers . Obviously Tom will co heading with someone then it works bit like the beach boy year

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
