I also don't trust them to get the park and ride right, shuttle buses have been a shitshow for the past two years and the shuttle buses didn't look much better either. Hope to be back one year though, as the price for the whole weekend is still good value, but for us the line up isn't what we hoped. There are a few acts we like but if the weather is crap then you can't even rely on good weather and chilling with a pint waiting between acts to see.

We came to this festival initially based on the indie/90s heavy line up and been hooked ever since. But it’s a fair old trek and we abandon the sprogs for 4 nights 🤣 This will be our last year of booking anything prior to a major lineup announcement anyway, time to try somewhere new. Anyone know when they usually release the stage split? The acoustic and seaside (I think) usually have a bit of something I like too. Honestly was convinced the cribs would be announced this time round! Totally get that, we are in Portsmouth and we did that one year, turned out to be a good year for us, and ended up buying for the whole weekend. Who knows, as full line up is usually end of March/Start of April But Based on last year:- Beats stage 4th April James Walsh 9th May Splits 25th May Full Comedy stage 27th May Kids Stage/Roy Stride 31st May Local/upcoming acts 7th June Unmade Radio 8th July Literacy 20th July Full times/Stages 9th August 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area's closed off for a few years while work is being done on the sea defences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah assumed that even though that part was a gonna this year they would have an equivalent new stage elsewhere 🤷♂️ Saturday is ridiculously good for us this year, but Friday/Sunday a bit light. We’re down on the Thursday for the 1st time this year staying at student digs! Any recommendations for where to go on the Thursday night for a vic warm up?

Albert road is normally a good bet, but is there anything in particular you're after (hipster craft beer, old man pubs, cheesey nightclubs etc)?

Pretty much any guitar based music from the 60s onwards 😇 The music wins over the quality of pint/venue for me please 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the nightclubs are on Guildhall Walk, it's possible 1 of them has an indie/guitar night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some big names on that one this year tho. Can't remember which headliners it had last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s currently 25 acts announced for each day. Of those 8 are now Beats & Swing which leaves 67. On the main 2 stages last year we’re pretty much 40 acts (now 60 if you count full day Friday). Leaves an extra 7 which probably go on acoustic or elsewhere. In summary barring the odd 1/2 acts I’d say the main stages are full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we do have the winners of the road to Victorious to add in somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisco Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Jamiraqoui, Raye, Friendly Fires, Jake Bugg, Circa Waves, Mae Muller, Cian Ducrot, Blossoms, Katy J Pearson Pete Tong, The Charlatans, Katy B, The View, Billy Nomates, Wunderhorse Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, Belle & Sebastian, The Coral, Kate Nash, Inspiral Carpets, Natalie Imbruglia Alt J, The Divine Comedy, Amyl & The Sniffers, Pale Waves, Shame Mumford & Sons, Ben Howard, Sigrid, The Vaccines, Johnny Maar, Heather Small, Crawlers, Gabrielle Climi, Hard Fi Ellie Goulding, Sea Girls, The Enemy, Dylan, The Go Team Something like that seems reasonably likely to me. Obvs add an act here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvs add an act here and there. I would say pretty much on. Only changes I would suggest Friday: switch charlatans to common stage, Raye on castle Sunday: sea girls to common stage (before vaccines), sigrid to castle. Maintains vibes better between acts on the stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
