After hours in the arena?

[DJL]

I know there was a similiar thread but... We've only got Saturday day tickets this year (so no access to the campsite) and was wondering what, if any, after hours stuff is available without going in the camping area? Green peace tent? Silent disco? Not sure where they are?

silent disco is in the campsite. im pretty sure there is stuff going on in the alternative stage, and there are films shown in the lock up/dance stage.

There is a disco (best way to describe it) in the Alternative tent on the Friday last year (but just the Fri I believe) in the arena. Mucho fun. Otherwise there is the silent disco in Red campsite, with some fairground grounds. I believe there is also another silent disco elsewhere but have yet to find it.

There is the Oxfam tent in the "village" just outside the arena. It's better than nothing & if you are cheeky enough, you can skip the queue, lift up the sides of the tent & crawl under. It has a bar & a relatively bad DJ.

Tbh it is quite easy to get away with staying around the camping area, perhaps easier if you leave before the main bands finish, so if you have friends in the campsite or find a group to hang around with you can have a good laugh bowling around the campsites. In this case I'd go to the silent disco as I have never been stopped from going in with booze or had any ID/wristband checks.

I'm not sure if Reading is the same because i've never been, but at Leeds you can get on to the campsite regardless of the type of ticket you have, so you may be best off just venturing onto the campsite once the bands have finished

Access to the campsite is not a problem as you have to walk through it to get to the arena, although if any security notice that you have a day wristband then they may ask you to leave/escort you out.

As for the arena there's the cinema tent until 4am but I don't think the after-hours stuff is going on in the alternative tent this year as there's something on the tickets about it closing at 10pm.

Apparently (I haven't had mine yet), either on the tickets or in the crap that comes with it.
