No inside info but there is always overlap with other late summer festivals, so a quick look round at who has been announced so far would make some of these possible:   Caribou, Father John Misty, Sharon van Etten, BCNR, Ela Minus, Geordie Greep, Mount Kimbie, Throwing Muses, Khruangbin, Fontaines DC, Kneecap, MJ Lenderman, Nilufer Yanya, Beth Gibbons, Barry Can’t Swim, Franz Fredinand, Lambrini Girls, Fat Dog, Avalon Emerson, Bicep, Raye, The Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club   But as the late summer festivals seem slow to announce, it feels there are some big names still to finalise their plans so headliners are difficult to predict.   They'll probably get some of the Reading & Leeds line up on the Thursday.  

Hey,    i worked on one of the hospitality gates last year, and to get in/out you need three things - a wristband, a ticket, and some photo ID. Your ticket may well not have your picture on, but it will have name and address. Its possible that you wont get sent a ticket and have to pick it up when you're there, but you definitely will need a physical ticket at some point for hospitality.    UNLESS its not hospitality and is a workers wristband, which wouldnt necessitate a ticket. I'd chase them for lots more information i think, it is were me. If they're legit, they'll know the process in and out. If they come back with any kind of 'not sure, but trust us, itll all be good' then i'd look at reversing/disputing the cc charge and cancelling it. 

Yep. Just noticed how much green belt around Warrington is marked for development. From the people I know in Cheshire that is going to kick off big time.

How do you know how sales are going, Chad? Genuinely question. What insight do you have to ticket sales that nobody else has?

I think it is just short of another Bristol. 40k a year over 5 year parliament, 2.3 average occupancy, I make that 472k. Google says Bristol is 483k.
