and also, is this just manu, madjid and another - rather than the whole Radio Bemba Soundsystem?

[onemangang]

i got my weekend ticket today

[roadrunner66]

Does this mean that Morrissey is clashing with Manu Chao - or is The Big Tent the stage that stays open late?

The Verve might make an appearance....

can anybody confirm?

I'm judging from it's name that the Late Night Comedy Show is on after the bands?

Cos I'd sure as hell love to see Simon Munnery or Sean Hughes

First time this year. Going on the Friday. Want to see the complete eagles set but also want to get the last train from padd wood at 2350. Figured we'd use the shuttle bus. Is this feasable? How long does it take to get out? How many people in total likely to be there on the fri? Thanks

Cheers. Scrapping the train idea and getting a taxi there and back 70 notes return. Were about 25 miles away and there's 5 of us so not much different than trainfare. Was going to get the cab to pick us up away from the site to

Save them crawling through loads of festival traffic. Any ideas where might be good within walking distance?

[glasto-worker]

If you check a map the post code is TN12 6PY and it really depends on what direction the taxi is coming from.

Unless the taxi driver knows how to avoid the traffic there is not many alternative roads

Thanks loads that's really helpful. One last little question. What time do the gates open and first acts come on? Thought I'd find it on the website but can't seem to. Assume As with others I've been to gates open at 10 and first act 12.

No more than most. I drove there from SE London last year and was parked up on site within an hour of leaving home, so it depends where you're coming from. This year I'm doing Bestival, which involves a long car/train journey and then a ferry so Paddock Wood's a doddle compared to that!

[glasto-worker]

London Charing Cross to Paddock Wood - fifty minute journey by train but of course the fares depends when and how you book

Sunday Headliner is Prince

[fairy_]

Gutted Prince is headlining on the day I already have tickets for Wireless!

[glasto-worker]

Well this is going to cause all sorts of problems for people who have booked their travel in advance and on a personal level I know the WBC Crew Coaches were booked for a Sunday morning pickup

God knows why Vince does it this way as it just makes everything a lot more complicated
