Bearded Theory 2025

looks like it... This clashfinder is currently private. The owner may make it public when it's ready.

Bearded have rarely published set times in advance. I think it's maybe happened once.

They want you to buy a programme there.  Which is fair enough really

[sadimmock]

Excellent news! Surprisingly seems pretty similar to the draft clash-finder that appeared a few weeks ago 

[Once was just teepees]

Sorry, I'd made a clashfinder in a spreadsheet based on 2024 set times, but I can't seem to share it on here.

Anyone know if there is any comedy on, and if so where? Stewart Lee' name is out there, but may be ''in conversation with''

Please don't call it official, it has nothing to do with the festival and is made by a chap who puts a lot of time into it, but it's not official and the times may be wrong... always buy/check a programme when you get on site!

If @Nobody Interesting  is still lurking, thanks for the clashfinder.

Yep, many thanks for the effort, and if you are still lurking please reconsider your decision to leave, I, for one, don't agree with everything on here but we need to stay and fight our corner, we need differences of opinion. (sorry for the off topic comment, just don't like seeing regular posters go).

[sadimmock]

Thank you so much @Nobody Interesting Your clashfinder is incredibly useful!

Been confirmed he is doing a 'Greatest Hits' set so we may get a punchline by the end of the 45 minutes.

[Once was just teepees]

Apologies, I meant to say official unofficial clashfinder. Essentially better looking than my spreadsheet screenshots!

 

I am hoping it is inaccurate to avoid clashes like Deja Vega v Ezra Furman, Mannequin Pussy v Stewart Lee, Mclusky v Getdown Services and Shonen Knife v Slay Duggee (surely they must realise the crossover audience here! 🙂 )

 

Then again this could then create new, as yet unforeseen, clashes.

 

ach.

Does anyone know if there is definitely no lockup facilities this year?

As right pain having to carry everything of value all the time as paranoid gonna lose something 😞

[Popsider75]

Fingers crossed I was worried that The Vaselines, Merry Hell and Deja Vega would all run into each other. If that is correct they are on at 1, 2 & 3pm which is perfect start to Friday!

This time next week...

Nice and peaceful here by the river, well till next week! 😝

[bexj]

It's a lovely stretch of river there, very serene. Enjoy the calm before the proverbial storm!

The river does look nice at that height, lets hope it stays that way! 🙂

[IndiePoppyJock]

If Clashfinder is approximately accurate, then I'm happy - there's really no space on my list where I have nothing I want to see (I never have nothing as would always find something somewhere) and very few clashes, so the excitement can build.

Spending the next week listening to bands that I know little or nothing about to see if my plan changes and / or give me some songs to sing along to.

 

All I really want is for it to be warm and dry so I can sit on the grass and enjoy the music.

Unfortunately, the current weather forecast isn't overly promising, but that could change.

[Paul ™]

Depends what forecast you look at.... but best to ignore them all and go back and look at the start of next week for a better idea..

Not sure what weather app you use for forecasts, but BBC and AccuWeather both look disappointing and Met Office doesn't go that far yet.

Agree that there's no need to worry just yet as it's so changeable.

Does anyone have any Thursday recs? At the moment I only have Midnight Rodeo, Molotov Jukebox, Fat Dog and probably Chris Hawkins DJ set.
