Hop Farm Festival 2011 !

[Banana Co]

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

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

Ditto!

Hi there, I've never been to Hop Farm before. Now that Prince is confirmed for the Sunday I'm thinking a getting a Sat/Sun ticket. Does anyone know if it's difficult to find a camping space if you don't arrive till the Saturday?

Thanks.

[tolywoly]

Ditto too.

Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, U2, Beyonce, The Eagles and Prince...pretty impressive 3 weekends of headliners I can see

lovely pic^^ i have to agree with the the person who mentioned the travel, it's a bluddy head scratcher. it seems there intentions were only to have a 3ed day IF they could get Mr purple, because why leave it so long until they confirm the 3ed day? the only explanation i can see is... they were waiting for him to confirm. i hope my hotel can give me another nights stay or i might be on a park bench come the saturday night

So I just bought my ticket for the Sat and Sun with a weekend camping pass from Eventim. I could print the ticket as soon as the order was confirmed. That's a new one on me, did anyone else have this experience? Seems like 20 people could rock up with the same printout. Did this happen in previous years?

Surely if the third day has always been in the pipeline they'll have been considering other acts, so I'm assuming the rest of the sunday announcements will be fairly soon.

Contact the people you bought the ticket from, they will advise you on how to upgrade.

95 pound for one nights stay in a hotel, ARE THEY MAD.

I have always wanted to see Prince since forever ago. I was away working for all of his O2 residency so was getting to the point of accepting that I would either have to head to America or just never get to see him.

However, I am a very happy boy. I live literally five miles away from the Hop Farm site and have bought four Sunday day tickets this morning. With Glastonbury the weekend before, it's shaping up to be a pretty decent summer.

[onemangang]

Also, does anyone know how it's going to work for people with Fri/Sat tickets already bought, paid for and delivered. It says we'll be able to upgrade for £40, but it doesn't say when or where or if you use the same ticket.

All in all, it's pretty bloody unhelpful.

That's a weird selection of bands for Hoppers!

[onemangang]

tinie temper is in my mind a very very strange booking, most of the people who will be going will be there to see the classic rock/indie acts. coupled with the more up to date slightly more main stream pop/foke artists. were does tinie temper (who in all fairness is good in his own right) fit in to the hop farm model? i hope im proved wrong but i cant see the crowd taking to him

Believe it or not, Prince, despite knocking on a bit now, is, or was, a massive POP star. He's brings out the big party tunes for the masses. Tinie Tempah, whatever you may think of him, is also a massive POP star. I'm no fan of his work, whereas I am of Prince's, but I reckon it's a pretty decent fit. Prince and, for example, Mumford & Sons, would not work together on the same bill. The majority of people who want to see Prince, want to dance and Tinie will help them do that. I fully expected a bill of dancey/funky/soulful acts to accompany Prince.
