Same place as Venetian Snares - not on the list yet. That's just 10 stages rather than the full list; I'd imagine we'll get more over the next couple of weeks.

I was considering doing a short guide to the potential clashes but I think unless we know the times it's really quite impossible to determine, and it'd only serve to fill people full of dread expecting the worse. Only one I'm worried about is DJ Shadow and Health, and the stampede between the Big Top and the mainstage for The Cure/Primal Scream will be something else.

Well...

*sigh*

This is the mother of all bitches at the festival. It's going to be mayhem between the two tents come 12am. I think these are the options:

- 1. Be close to the front to see The Cure and stay for the whole set but stand absolutely no chance of seeing Primal Scream, or at very best be at the back of the Big Top.

- 2. See The Cure, hover around mid-crowd, make our way out around 10:30pm to 11pm and get a decent spot in the middle of the Big Top (depending on who's playing before Primal Scream) - this is what I'll probably do because - as much as I love The Cure, I can only listen to so much of Prayers for Rain before I abandon all hope. If they do a greatest hits set, pick a song and then leave; mine is 'A Night Like This' or 'Lovesong'. Follow it with 2 hours of some positive vibrations listening to 'Screamadelica'. B)

- 3. Don't see The Cure at all and hover around the Big Top for the whole evening and gradually make our way to the front to see Primal Scream.

- 4. See neither band and do something else, but let's face it, it's just not an option - is it?

- 5. Be an utterly ruthless w*nkshaft and barge your way through the crowd of people as if you're a 2011 year 11 leaver, sparing no consideration for anybody BUT seeing the two most eagerly anticipated bands of the festival.

Carefully consider your options, my young Padawan.

Depends where you're crossing from. I've only crossed from Southampton before and there's a supermarket by the terminal where you get off.

There's a shuttle bus from the terminal - £10 return.

Traffic will be heavier than normal but if you're not taking your car on the ferry it shouldn't be too bad.
