While I've never seen an act on IICON properly, the stage is absolutely impressive. Also it's a big field capable of handling a ton of people, which is very rare in the SE corner.

There’s a convenient gap for Denzel Curry to play Rock Werchter on his Europe tour

Basement Jaxx doing a London show the week after GM, possible Bicep or Jon Hopkins type slot?

They're not full gates like say, Gate C for motorhomes though, not when I did it anyway. There's no ticket check faff, just flash ya wristband at security as you're strolling past. More like an internal crew gate.  The actual ticket gate was between Sticklinch and the car park.  I guess, by that measure it's more onsite than campers / motorhomes are, isn't it? 

Got a Gold membership to show my thanks to this place for help in getting tickets. I've been Gold before but had let it drop cause of dramas best left forgotten.   Also, I wanted to compliment this place for the tips and tricks thread this year. This was the opposite of last year and the HOSTS hack. In both places (here and TheOtherPlace), info this year was shared freely and generously. As maybe there should be for a new system and how to game it, there was an issue of too much info and contradicting info, but I was able to figure out who to trust and who to ignore and it really worked out for me in terms of advice and tactics. This was the opposite of last year where the HOSTS hack was known by regulars and even some moderators and not shared while they or users they knew cleaned up. (It's fine, I still got tickets, it just hurt my feeling of community here).   It's also a little bittersweet that when I came back here to buy the membership, I discovered that on literally the same thread that helped me get tickets there was now an attempt to organize a letter writing campaign and demands that tickets acquired by people using the tips and tricks suggested in that very thread be cancelled.    I expect this will blow over with time, but it's still an embarrassing and disappointing look so I'm posting my thanks for that thread and the community coming together to help each other here instead in hopes that that formerly great, now embarrassing thread slides into oblivion now that its taken that turn.
