Twunt Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 5 hours ago, Rumblestripe said: Sorted now via Twickets. Happy days, can't wait. I thought for quite a while that I couldn't make it to BT (my daughter was going to get married - still is but next year now) and various other things but the path is now clear. Ticket bought. Can't tell you how excited I am by the line up, though it does look like there will be clashes of almost Glasto-esque magnitude. Peace out! Glad to hear that , unfortunately my son has a football tournament on the Saturday so I am out. Have a good one it looks amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaminglippy Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just got the Benefits album blasting out. Absolute belter. If you like your music loud angry and left-wing definitely worth a listen. Brilliant live as well. If they dont clash recommend catching by their set.

Yeah i had a go with them, would really like to catch them, clashes are gonna be unreal though. Everytime I look at the line up I see more, i have far too many 'must sees' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing my hair Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'll be at my third Bearded this year working in the Oxfam shop. So looking forward to it. Do come and say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Moly and the Crackers one of a developing list of additional bands i'd like to catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 We've just returned from our winter travels, had the playlist on whilst spending a few days driving up through France to the UK and listened to a lot of the playlist stuff.. so much good stuff on!

bexj Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm volunteering with Oxfam, went to Bearded 2019 as a punter and thoroughly enjoyed it! There's so much on the line up that I'm not bothered that I'll miss some. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisp1986 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Wonder why there is a delay in stage breakdowns. Could it be due to Pretenders headlining but can't announce due to the exclusive elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing Sunday as well and Primal scream are Sunday headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of others said late yesterday what stages they were on - I think (hope) the stage splits must be close to being released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoLemon Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 What are the crowd demographics of this festival like? My friends and I are looking at going because we can't make Green Man this year. Looks like it's a very similar vibe of festival - not too many rules, trusting people to behave themselves. However I'm worried it might be too family-oriented. We're a group of childless thirty year olds looking to see good bands in the day then switch to the dance areas at night. Is there a reasonable amount of adult-only activity in the evening? Thank you 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance tent goes on until 1 or 2ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 😊 Bearded caters to families, but not in a way that feels exclusionary or overwhelming in the way that say Camp Bestival, Latitude, and WOMAD can. I'd call it more of a festival for adults that makes excellent provision for those who wish to bring their kids. You won't be out of place. Within the Adult demographic you'll be a bit younger than the average, but not enough to feel out of place. There'll be plenty of adults there who don't have kids, and even those that do it won't be uncommon for them to offload the kids for a night and let loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for Knockerdown Variety Tent and Something Else Tea Tent. This year there is a new silent disco in the woodland after the headliners but no idea when that ends.

BlueDaze Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 @incidentcomment above is absolutely spot on…. they have great facilities for kids but it never feels that there are loads of kids there… a quick question from me (as I cannot for the life of me find it on the website).. what time do they open on Thursday.? specifically the CV fields.. ? Last year we didn’t show until late afternoon and ended up the other side of Catton Hall, would like to be back in Trent this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
