Early entry tickets being resold at £130+ and parking tickets being resold over £50+. And I thought they were going to struggle with the lineup this year 

 

Also nvm weekend tickets going for £400+ on GetMeIn

A week ago, all tickets were near on half price, crazy how the prices have changed and glad I got a weekend ticket whilst they were cheap!

Anyone know if you can turn up on the day and pay £20 for parking still? FAQ says "subject to availability"...

I've just sent an email over to FR about this, I'll let you know once they get back to me

The site map's are now live. Nothing changed at all for Reading really except that massive weird Samsung cube thing seems to have gone. Confirmation of no This Feeling tent too. By the look of the map, the introducing stage may be in a tent this year.

Leeds guest camping has moved back to its old spot, would be gutted if I was going as it was a superb location last year. Bar hasn’t moved though.

Seriously, a fucking McFlurry stall, if it wasn’t for Kung Fu Kenny this festival can fuck right off ! ?

Comparing it to last year’s map, looks like it’s down a bar too. The one between the alternative and lock up appears to have gone. Classic FR.

Will there be coverage on the BBC this year.

Cheers man! I'm not sure my knees could take the walk from town with all my stuff so getting pretty desperate... If anyone does have a parking pass spare (preferably white) let me know! ?

Last year it was just BBC 4 and iPlayer, but TRNSMT I think featured on BBC 2, so might do the same.

Yes, you'll be able to watch main and Nme live all day online, however the bottom 2/3 on each stage tend not to be recorded.

NERD confirmed by R&L on Twitter, alongside Big Heath, Twisted Wheel and Russell Kane.

[Stuielooie]

Seeing as N.E.R.D are not a secret set, we should expect a big name to fill the empty NME slot

Russell Kane's only doing Leeds. Nothing, Nowhere is still on the lineup too for some reason.

 

That Saturday main stage is pretty strong in terms of size of acts. Like take out Panic! and everyone else could easily be bumped up a spot. Sum 41 5th is strange.

Where could they play though? Could either be one of those weird early Dance acts like Gengahr or maybe a secret set on the introducing?

Playing in Glasgow on Saturday so if they're doing both sites it'll be Friday at Leeds and Sunday at Reading.

They could open the dance stage or play the gap midway through the introducing then.

Those secrets sets on the BBC Introducing stage are incredibly low key [often only a handful of songs] and usually only acoustic. Can't see Peace travelling the breadth of the country for that.

The set times seem to have changed a little on the Dance Stage so there doesn't seem to be an obvious gap anymore, unless I'm mistaken.

I know all the attention has been on BMTH for the Radio 1 slot, but I wonder if it could be Peace. Only logical slot, if they are indeed playing.
