According to the advert in the paper today they also have the following attractions, the finest organic food and beer, street theatre, burlesque and comedy, the invernitian masked ball, headphone disco, dance dj arena, poetry and dance, tir nan og childrens field, hielan fields therapy area, shopping, champagne bar...........

Sounds good to me, add a bit divine comedy and it's got the making of another excellent year, sunny this year too i'm lead to believe.

well, if sunny is on the lineup it's got to be good

the 4 kids that will be with my daughter are all well up for the festie still...maybe us grown-ups should follow their example

[cloud factory]

I am the same, with each new annoucement i am hoping for something that makes me go wow, each time i become more dissapointed with the overall lineup.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

with each new announcement i go who?

[Ali1501]

My kids can't wait and their excitement definiely rubs off on me, were also going with friends this year and we are looking forward to it as much as we do Glasto.

The negativity on this thread has bordered on depression, the line up is eclectic enough to make this one of the best festivals in the UK this year, tell me it's not better wandering around discovering bands you've never seen before than setting a rigid timetable of bands you can see every year at every other festival and this isn't the festival for you, i can't wait.

Food and drink - You are able to bring your own food and drink (including alcohol, providing you are 18 or over) whether you are camping or a day visitor. The village of Beauly which is two miles from the festival site has small supermarkets and food outlets which are open late.

I didn't think you were allowed to take your own booze in ?

That's what I thought and read it a few times to see if it only meant your own booze in the caping areas. But it does say day visitor so I assume I can take my beer in without hiding it !

[Solero]

hmmmmm Saturday only tickets are valid for camping the Saturday night though...

Would like some confirmation on this before I carry a case of scrumpy all the way there!

Excellent thanks

Although the bus times may not suit us

Will taxi's be a feasible solution?
