Seems it's a premium upgrade entrance so fast track really. A covered grandstand at the main stage subject to availability and a bar, food and toilet area for passholders. Doesn't look great value to me.

 

Also taking a 9 year old and 6 year old to their first festival

That's what I thought also , the "subject to availability" line concerns me so will give it a miss ... Just need to find somewhere to stay now

Went in the other year one the Saturday to premium. Not worth the money in the slightest. Save the money 100%.

I got given an upgrade to premium / vip a few years back. Really not worth the money - the grandstand viewing area is way to the side of the main stage - I prefer to be closer so only watched 1 band from it the whole weekend. Queue for the VIP bar was just as busy as the main one. The only advantage was there was no queue for the loos.

Any chance of more names being added do we think or is this it? Not that it’s bad as it stands!

Think anything in July has had it. This however I think will be fine. Going to be a cracking weekend.

Let’s hope so mate.  And there will be a few others added but it’ll be smaller names I guess

True 😂

When we went VIP two years ago, I thought the area was OK compared to some other festivals. The VIP area was big and not too crowded, and the raised platform in front of the main stage gives you a good clear view of the main stage, and never got over busy. Compared to some VIP areas, which end up being busier than the main arena, I thought Victorious was OK. And, of course, it is cheaper than many major festivals.

Its the Download festival pilot/trial event this weekend. The results of which will have a big bearing on if and how other festivals are able to go ahead throughout the summer. Fingers crossed!

[BrizzleRob]

Agreed about Download. Quietly confident about it, but the problem is it has to go flawlessly. The slightest hint of an issue and it will inevitably get blown up - so much hinges on that I think.

Think after what Melvin Benn has said regarding Latitude today Victorious is going to be absolutley fine. Reckon this 4 weeks is a quick roll out of extra 2nd doses and to ensure everyone's had at least 1. Plain sailing moving out of 19th. 

So fucking jealous of those at download right now. My mates have gone! Rain or shine I bet its brillisnt.

Well Victorious have been releasing more of the lineup, so is that confidence or stupidity?

I'm erring on the side of confidence. I think victorious will be just fine. If todays leaks about the 19th turn out to be correct I can't see it not going ahead

Think we're going to be good with this one. I'm fairly confident.

[sisco]

Well with all these leaks coming out about opening up I’m suddenly very optimistic

I’m sure this gets asked loads so apologies! But anyone ever been to the offsite camping? Is it any good? Availability with hotels isn’t great and really expensive! Not fussy as done camping loads before, just want to know if it’s a major pain to do or if there’s anything we should know before booking!
 

thanks!!!

If you scroll through you’ll find the answers you’re looking for but the general consensus in summary is….. all good

Camping at farlington is hassle free and bus into southsea is well organised too. Go for it mate 👍

In other news, bit nervous about Ashcroft pulling out of Tramlines, hopefully not a sign of things to come 🤞

Thank you mate! 
 

hopefully he sticks around, think he didn’t like the pilot status of Tramlines so fingers crossed he doesn’t feel the same for this!

[Twunt]

Anyone camped the campervan area and if so what's it like ? 

[atomised]

Anyone else still panicing every time this gets bounced
