I wonder just how many acts they have on standby for instances like this..

You'd hope they have a few as there's a likelihood of quite a few gaps about

Crikey. I hope they get replace them with someone good (otherwise Chems will be totally rammo) but not too good (as I will be at Chems).

Could be clutching here but surely Idles are the most likely candidates?

They played the same slot last time so not sure if they'd do it again 

Also will the 48 hour validity apply for the acts too? Hopefully that would mean after tomorrow the lineup stays relatively unaffected should the remaining acts test negative?

Not convinced that enters into it too much given the circs, and something better than nothing [nothing 🙄, etc.]. They’re doing Standon Calling tomorrow, but who knows!

Just in case people haven't spotted it.  Seems that if you use a barclaycard to pay at the main bars or for some food, you get 10% off.  Sounds like a pretty decent saving, so I've just dug mine out!  

https://www.barclaycard.co.uk/personal/event-perks-terms

might always have been like this, I've just never noticed it, it popped up on my facebook this morning

well spotted but I did note

## Purchase from a bar outlet where Barclaycard credit card payment is accepted and offer signage is present and Advise the cashier that you are a Barclaycard credit card customer, present your card at till and pay with your personal Barclaycard(s) or Barclaycard Business card (MasterCard) ##

------------

as far as I am aware they are using many Agency bar staff so they may not be aware about this so its best to store that link on your phone.

it will be interesting to find out if people were able to get the discount without hassle

Tent planted - absolute ectastic. Sports Team is a great replacement for Alfie Templeman! Interested to see what will happen with Fontaines but almost definitely will be at Chems unless someone insane is announced

[gibble]

Sleaford Mods just confirmed as the replacement

Folly Group sound alright on a first listen - jagged post-punk

[Sean1234321]

Folly Group are great, that's a solid stand-in. 

They've brought in some good replacements so far.

Coops cash only 🙃

That's s real shame. They are dropping like flies, which is worrying for the fest and season. 

I actually saw Folly Group support PVA a couple if weeks ago and they'll doj ust fine.

First live music since November 2019. Got quite emotional at times. Didn't think the New York Brass Band don't Take on Me would be the one that got me but not gonna lie I shed a few tears at the exuberant communal silliness of it

Think they came wandering through the campervan field this afternoon. Definitely seems like there's a more communal feel than previous years I've been.

Bouncer on the door said it was last night. Just seen other people saying they do accept card? I think as the signals bad it might be slower. Or the bouncers got a deal with the bloke who owns the cashpoint next door. 

[Chapple12345]

Leaving in about an hour and I couldn’t be more excited, have an amazing weekend everyone!

Some places use Latitude’s Wifi for their payment machines and it had an issue, I hear. For example, co-op was cash only for a time last night. Other places not using Wifi were fine so only taking card payments. 

[Field of Avalon]

Coming for the day today. Would it be advisable to bring cash or are most places taking card payments ?

[EssexIndie]

Heading down there tomorrow for the day - can't wait (although bummed about Fontaines having to cancel). If anyone goes down for the day today, how long did it take you to get into the arena?
