Placid-Casual Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well I was pleased that Viagra Boys cancelling did at least sort the Caribou clash, but if anything I'm more tempted by Ibibio Sound Machine 😅 Ghostpoet fills a gap for me on the Sunday which is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarclaydeTolly Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Sad to see people having to drop out but inevitable - there will be changes even during the festival but everyone knows it's no ones fault. I'm near enough 100% sure Jose Gonzalez won't be there - he's at a gig in amber list Sweden 11th so I can't see how he could then be at GM on the 21st given several days isolation.

zeppelin Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Really gutted about Little Dragon; one of the acts I was most excited for! Ghostpoet is great news, depending on clashes of course. This is just the world we live in for now I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benali Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Tirzah and Ghostpoet are good editions. There will probably be more changes, maybe even some after the festival starts if an artist gets covid. Wonder who else they have on the reserve list? I really enjoyed the surprise stand in Wedding Present set because they just seemed so happy to be there at short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading the official guidance right EU residents from amber list countries don't have to self-isolate if they're already double vaccinated and test negative within two days of arrival. Given we're less than two weeks away anyone coming from outside the UK who's still on the lineup surely has to be very confident they can make it. I don't think the lists are now due to change until after GM. Even though I don't think GM have officially announced them yet, the eFests news piece has the Babbling Tongues lineup: https://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/21/210806a.shtml Edited August 6, 2021 by SweepingTheNation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you in the car, it will take about an hour to get to your parking space. Then you will have to que for about half an hour for your wrist band. The drop of area is alot quicker. When you get off the bus you can get your wrist band within ten minutes usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Tizrah is amazing - definitely an upgrade! Used to love Ghostpoet back in the day. Is Lynks the same as Lynks Afrika? That’ll be a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindingMyEdge Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hello folks, I'm flying in on the day and looking to travel as lightly as possible. What do you think of my chances of being able to buy a sleeping bag on site on the Thursday? I know there is usually that camping store around the corner from Far Out.

Queues normally move pretty fast, I've never queued more than about half an hour once gates are opened from Orange car park. But there's the vaccine certificates this year; that'll presumably slow down queues, it's unknown how much by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Green Man is anything like Latitude the vaccine /neg test checks won’t slow things too much - at Latitude they did the vaccine s / neg test check first in one bay (with vaccine people going through one route and tests another) and it was flowing quickly. The wristbands actually took longer. So fingers crossed it won’t add too much delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed90 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Comedy line-up is out! Some decent names on there, and plenty who I SHOULD know but don't. Certainly enough to keep me entertained when my brain is mush on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless_Fish Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Can you put your tent up prior to getting wristbands? I've been a few years ago and queued for wristbands before finding a spot and seem to remember wristbands were only checked on entry to the arena. Thanks!

In the past few years I've always had my wrist band checked before entering the camp site. They usually have stewards checking for wrist bands just after the ticket booth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaboaboa Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 We have a spare weekend ticket from our party if anyone on here is interested? I know Festicks and Twickets are the best online locations, but wanted to ask on here first if anyone knows anyone whose keen.

zeppelin Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Not sure why, but the excitement has absolutely ramped up for me tonight! Been sat here listening to the Spotify playlist and love almost every track; so much depth in the lineup. The clashes are gonna be hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big__phil Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Another question from me. Do they kick people out of the arena at some point after everything shuts down, or can you chill by the campfire (if that's still there) through the night? My memory from last time is pretty hazy on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Winged_dove Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Green Man first timer and so grateful for this forum. Sorry if someone has already asked this, but how long does it take to walk from the Settlers car park to the settlers camping site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could stay in the arena, but there would be nothing to do. I can't imagine the bonfire would still be going at that point.
