Echo what others have said and said similar to someone asking re their first time next year, repeated below. I did prob over plan this yr but more in being prep'd to go than what I'd do there if that makes sense: - Max the time there, Wed/Thu are brilliant imo plus a great opp to see lots of the site - Pick a small no. of absolute must sees but be willing to flex a bit aside from those -....by extension be willing to miss some stuff if enjoying yourself somewhere else imo. Fri's line up this yr was dreamland for me so the must sees dominated that day but on the Sat I just mosly went with what my wife wanted and we ended in Bread and Roses (bar) in between stuff and were having such a laugh we just stayed way longer than planned...mates not there were incredulous that I missed Kasabian and The Streets while drinking cider with some burlesque show on having the craic with folk I'll prob never see again. But that spontaneous afternoon is one of my favourite memories of the week - Don't compromise in a group, or even a couple, go separate ways for spells...it is easy to regroup later and not a disaster if don't meet up with mates for a few hours. Indeed talking to and meeting others is a great part of it all - Just randomly wander around, hard to explain if not been but just stumbling upon stuff was prob my favourite aspect - The final boring one is just to remember the drive home on the Mon. We prob had a relatively heavy one on the Sun as were gigged out by tea time so ended up in our favourite spots for the final night - The Park and then Strummerville....driving home Mon lunchtime tiredness really kicked in and I was really struggling. Luckily 2 of us the swap over but.....

At least £500 I usually subsidise my (grown up) kids a bit. Only one of them coming this year, but he's always skint.

Which one. There was more than one lol

Last time Basement Jaxx played Victorious they were only a Castle Headliner, they ain't got any bigger, they're smaller in fact.    Actually didn't they do Seaside Stage as DJ set since then. Or am I making that up? 😂

Make sure you go see Arcadia!  I loved the experience of seeing people dangle from the spiders legs or crawl across the night sky.. I havent witnessed the new dragonfly though, do they still have the experience/story?
