You should, especially if you're that side.

It's a lovely spot. Personally, the view over the festival from just outside Strummerville is great - at any time but lovely at sunset and then after dark with all the lights.  I liked it as somewhere relatively chilled to just lay on the grass/hill, or sofa if you can get on one, and I enjoyed just the dj sets there as well as the live acts (it's also a pretty unique stage). It can/does get packed mind for some acts (like Frank Turner last year).  Some nice food up fhere also.

Just noticed Woody Cook on the lineup.  That's Fatboy's and Zoe Ball's son isn't it.  DJ set?  Or does he do something else?

So there will be some bigger bands playing under different names on that poster. Anyone know who Psychedelic Thanet House are?  

[gblock]

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets?

[Beerqueen]

That's what I thought

Not sure if timings are out yet but Brooke is doing an acoustic set Friday at 4. She was great in Birmingham earlier this year on the album tour.

I rate her so highly, the acoustic set will be cool. Was also at that gig in Brum, was great!

They're not big enough to need to change their name. Thanet is an area of Margate, so I think a band with a link to that area.

I assumed the same and there is a pretty big band with Thanet links playing on the Sun evening - I assumed too big for something at Strummerville also though😉

Nailed it I reckon. Pete Doherty has played secret sets at Strummerville before (2022?) under an alias.

[SPW]

Yeah members have Thanet connections and referenced their Dreamland (Margate) gig this summer as a homecoming.

Ooh, exciting!  

[wro_lap]

Could see it being Pete Doherty & Carl Barat doing an acoustic gig there together

I’m noticing that Rachel Chinoriri doesn’t seem to be on the app for Strummerville or on the website set times anymore? 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Something for Brian Jonestown Massacre fans 

 

[Olshansky]

How long in advance do you all think you should arrive to get inside for Heartworms on Thursday at 9pm?

Was wondering the same but it is a fairly popular evening there in any event as the fire lighting is earlier on as are a couple of other sets. Judging by last year when there some fairly popular acts on the Thurs I'd personally aim for an hour before (possibly a bit ott but......).

 

Which prompts a point from last year that I spent a fair bit of time in Strummerville and while was great when a band on equally would recommend chilling there when there's not and it's relatively quieter. Has some good dj/background music and sat/lay on the hill or on the sofas around the fire is lovely
