Hi! I would like to know if the vouchers can be returned at the end of the festival if you haven't spent all of them. Thanks!

[maesydderwen]

It looks like it's going to be a hot one. Be prepared people. Lots of sunblock and water

I bet you wouldn't have a hard time selling them to other people cheap though, I'd certainly buy some at discount 😂

Reminded me of another tip they give out free sunblock and ear plugs in the arena.

Can't remember whether they are different every year (i.e. can leftovers from say 2019 be used this year)?

[Otto77]

Yes, every year they change.

So you won't be able to use tokens from 2019.

I know but I managed it in 2019 with tokens from 2018 and never had any problems I don't think the people working really care.

Not going unfortunately, but if I was,

Gang of Youths > Fontaines DC > Carly Rae Jepsen > First Aid Kit > Pixies/Beck > TWOD > Lianne La Havas

Would be a perfect opening day. Even though Im not a fan of Pearl Jam I find that Thursday to be so strong.

I have deleted the line "a little bit of Maneskin if we really have to" from my list hoping that my partner will forget...

2019...I still remember finding a bunch of "forgotten" ones in a friend's backpack right at the end of the last day and running around trying to spend them. I think we walked out holding each two beers and a kebab that night 😂

Same here 🙂 ! Almost identical with very few differences, the main ones being:

- Friday: The Last International & ALT-J. Definitely skipping Greta Van Fleet, I saw them last time and I was not impressed. 

- Sunday: A bit of Disclosure after Royal Blood and then Lost Frequencies instead of The Killers.

Also might nip over to Disclosure, depends when we want to eat, that day is pretty stacked up for us. Maybe get a nibble during Royal Blood as I'm not overly excited for that one.

This year clashes are a nightmare - so many similar bands on at the same time. Saturday's music isn't my thing, but if it was you must be going crazy with clashes. The good news is loads of new bands for me.

On the big tents closing - the other issue is that people leave at the front, so there's plenty of space down there, but they still don't let more people in. The outer people crust forms and that's it.

I think we'll see them from afar while resting our bones on the grass with a few beers 😉

I probably will end up skipping Greta for the same reasons as you, but the main problem is i dont want to be too far for Metallica. if only they had kept QOTSA..

For Disclosure, I just don't think I stand a chance entering the Barn after Royal Blood, they'll shift a big crowd for sure (the turnup at Primavera for them was huge).

Indeed! It all depends on our mood at that moment but most probably we'll leave Royal Blood ±10' before Disclosure start and head towards the Barn. And if it's already full....Oh well...we 'll just head back (or stay and watch them by the big screen if the sun is still out).

Every time I remember Faith No More were supposed to play Saturday I die a little inside. I don't hate the day as much as others but FNM would've been our headliners regardless of where/what time they were on

I'm also very curious to see what the crowd split even looks like on that Saturday. 21P/ID vs. Jamie/Bicep seems like it would have a fan overlap to me.

That's why I have hope of being able to enter the Barn to see Jamie XX "easily" after Bicep (because if that's not the case, I am getting drunk at the Barn).

True! And I'm afraid that both Klub C and the Barn will be packed waaay too early for those two. Because in addition to the overlapping fans it will be everyone else who simply doesn't fancy 21P & ID trying to get in...

It's true, but I have hope that the Barn will empty during Jamie XX's set (either people not actually enjoying it, or moving to see ID), allowing me to enter for the always funky/groovy/danceable absolute joy of a way he ends his set.
