AldoTVAOF Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Y-Not have announced the bands who have been successful in applying through the bandapp and will be playing this years festival. Personally, delighted to see Babe Punch and The Orielles added to the lineup! Will need to give the other acts a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldoTVAOF Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Does anyone know if the stage times for all of the smaller stages will be put on the lineup planner or if what's already up is all that we'll get before the festival? Quite a few bands that I plan to see that aren't on there as of yet. Also, I think The Quarry Sunday times are wrong as there are 2 bands kicking off at 3pm (obviously they can't) and it finishes an hour earlier than the other nights so presume everyone beyond is pushed forward an hour?

Some tents have acts on until late some with live acts, others with djs. Silent disco, organised camp fires, "secret raves", the bars in tents are good fun and lively.

AldoTVAOF Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 The Allotment lineup is great, another 10 or so bands I'd see on that stage alone! When will day splits and stage times be announced for this stage and will it be added to the line-up planner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not like Glasto or reading secret sets. You'll get small bands playing unannounced/unscheduled sets from time to time. Bands that play secret sets normally do it for the publicity at larger festivals. At small and medium festivals there is no real need for it. No benefit for the festival or the act.

Born in the fifties Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Recommendations for the Allotment stage, anyone? http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/16/160718a.shtml I definitely want to see Black Honey and Asylums, who I haven't seen before; and The Vryll Society, who I have seen a couple of times and would strongly recommend. Also having just got back from Latitude and seen Broken Witt Rebels there, I now need to make sure I'm at Y Not early on the Thursday to kick the music off with them at 13:30.

BeddingatReading Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Would highly recommend Little Comets, they're really good!

Ed Sheeran doing something at Latitude (and it wasn't a surprise set this year, he joined Foy Vance on stage) is not necessarily that big a surprise as apparently he lives very close to the site.

It's got massive backing compared to Y Not. Latitude is twice the size and has backing from some major media partners. Plus the event is down south.

Expand Lineup for the Allotment is incredible for me! I highly recommend Baby Strange and Hidden Charms on the Friday and Cabbage on the Saturday. Plenty of others on there that interest me, think it may result in quite a lot of clashes! Does anyone know how long it takes to get from The Allotment to Main Stage? And from The Allotment to The Quarry/The Giant Squid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how long it takes to get from The Allotment to Main Stage? And from The Allotment to The Quarry/The Giant squid? Expand Going on last year, the allotment and main stage are in the same field so you can be listening to a band on the main stage then turn round and go into the tent. From the allotment to the giant squid its roughly 2 minutes and from the Allotment to the quarry its about 5-10 depending on how many beers you've had.
