Surely a very good sign if suppliers are all onboard and early Jan? When all the logistics are a go-go

There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn’t be happening.  Boris didn’t lock us down or add restrictions over the worst period, festivals happened last year and yes I know the build is earlier but we’re currently allowing 70,000 football fans to enter stadiums.  We’re all good…. See you in the fields

i think you're probably right on that side of things, i think the risk to the festival is in the eavii's confidence to deliver it without new restrictions getting in the way, if they spend a fortune putting it together. hopefully this time round they'll be prepared to take the gamble.

Yeah fully agree and I think knowing that festivals happened last year when things were much worse will give that confidence.  I do thing the lineup might take a little hit due to travel and touring but we’d all accept that

Did we think they were headlining JP last time?

I think we knew they were Saturday JP but it was unclear who was headlining. The general consensus was Editors, Primal Scream and Charli XCX were the headliners in that order but could easily have been Glass Animals or FKA twigs too.

FKA TWIGS was subbing it

They were on the lineup for 2020, are playing Dublin the Weds before and Glasgow the Friday after. I'd be astonished if they weren't there.

JP headliner probably but would be an ace way to open The Other stage.

Hopefully they've added some bits to the area, it was fun but felt lacking, especially in comparison to the Spider. 

Them/Chase and Status/Someone more current(bicep?) would be brilliant though. 

They will have worked out the issues around the hanging moon for certain … don’t forget that was only year one of the project … since then they have been asking for creative ideas and had quite a break … the spider massively improved from its early time as the afterburner ( I think ) Pangea will be incredible I’ve no doubt

Oh totally the images of what the Spider was like, to the last few years in its life is night and day. I just can't picture what else they can do with a crane/3d mapping.

In fairness though could you picture a massive dockyard crane in a field in Somerset before we knew about it ?  Arcadia had performers and mini spiders coming off it ..  the area could also have more added around the perimeter to add to the visuals

Saw them last year at fabric and printworks, its terrific - played some great suspected new songs. Hopefully its 2hr+

Bicep will be doing their live show probably rather than a DJ set (could do both but they did a DJ set in 2019 i think)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
