So what's this place like for a newbie?

Normally a Downloader but have done Soni and Vfest in the past as well as many gigs but considering it for the headliners and some of the undercard Will end up going meself probs but maybe good fun

Its pretty good to be honest. More of proper festival vibe than V. Were some issues last year with pinch points when the headliners finished (took us about 30/40 minutes to get out of the arena and stewards were nowhere to be seen)

Theres a nice little chill out stage where they have some decent acousticy acts (think it was called 'The Garden Stage' last year)

Camping can be chaotic so worth getting there early (although last year was better than the year before)

The toilets are pretty good for a major festival.

The supporting line-ups can be pretty weak for the money but thats a matter of personal taste I suppose...the ones they've announced so far look loads better than previous years though

We're gonna go non-camping, we're pretty excited to be honest.

It's the last chance were gonna have to do non-camping in any situation, so we're just gonna have a easy trip down from liverpool without our backs having to die mid-train, so it's gonna be good, so far the only band i dislike on that lineup is Elbow, and i've not listened to Pearl Jam, but i'm excited.
