Y Not Festival 2017

[ShorttyE]

Also on the beer front,

Take into account all the terror attacks this year and the increase in security at every festival. Every chance they may be slightly stricter with things this year.. I doubt it, but still.

Also as long as it's in a plastic cup they don't seem to care so I regularly just fill them up if im popping back to the campsite.

Have you guys seen this?

Looks handy and the prices are fairly reasonable considering

Pretty Decent, and good for folk who are coming by train etc so they can travel light.

Other fests have done this this year and prices have been insane, ,this is ok though.

Although I won't be using it aswe will be driving and the car park isn't exactly far to do a few runs.

Yeah we've got family camping so even closer to the car park, although bringing  a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old it's something I'm definitely going to consider haha

For anyone that missed it...

One of the best stages to watch up and coming bands.

Yeah. He's still on the big poster and line up page. 

But not on the newest neon coconut poster. Strange 

Maybe he's on another stage now. Or cancelled. 

[Wilko888]

Does anyone know if they released a site map last year? If so could someone post a pic of it?

Website is now showing him on The Quarry above Frank Turner - he must be playing a late-night set there. Idris Elba is in the same slot on the Saturday

hi guys, apologies if it's already been asked as I'm too lazy to read through previous pages but what's the late night stuff like and other things apart from the main stages?

Plenty to do till late. Was a roller disco last year, silent disco each night, also had this feeling djs till late in one of the tents, hopefully they'll be back again this year.

Our tickets came today. Went to the local post office to collect and apparently half of Dronfield is going including the post man.

great thanks, not getting there till friday afternoon, whats it going to be like getting a parking or camping spec? 

[ShorttyE]

Still no tickets here, I will assume Peak Club VIP tickets are in a different batch.

Still no where near time to worry yet, i'll worry the wednesday before when i'll call them

Parking will be fine. Camping might be a bit tight, was very busy last year by Friday afternoon

I've got my VIP tickets 

[BeddingatReading]

Lineup planner finally out

[efcfanwirral]

Some good situations where I can go between stages and see what I want to, especially with JAWS on Friday, and cabbage and Kate Nash Sunday. 

Only real clashes for me are cast and clean bandit,  I'll make a call on the day about those, and frank turner and vaccines which we already knew about. I'll probably stick with the group and watch vaccines as I've seen frank many times 

[Cammers]

Still miffed about Sunday's headline clashes. I wanna see them all!

[TheDHolford]

Very happy about the line up and the stage times. Only sad about the Friday clash of Frank turner and Vaccines, but seen Frank three times and Vaccines once, so they win. And Sunday is a bit shoddy, though I think Frank Carter is a winner for me, only seen him once before and want to end the festival on a big bang! And can go see Twin Atlantic before Libertines next week at Tramlines, and maybe see Two Door at Leeds Festival if I decide on that.

 

Overall very happy, extremely excited for The Hunna, Slaves (for the 5th time since last Leeds Fest...), finally seeing Jake Bugg. Saturday is looking best day overall though, Slaves and Jake Bugg, Declan McKenna, Clean Cut Kid, Asylum and Example, with Idris Elba topping it all off, perfect!

[jonnyf]

I'm happy with the stage times with only one clash in Maximo Park and Honeyblood. I might catch a bit of each.

[BeddingatReading]

Gutted the Quarry and Big Top headliners clash each night - I swear they didn't last year but I guess it'll stop the over-crowding and people getting crushed in the Quarry.

Does anyone know if they've managed to make the Quarry bigger this year?

You're right, they didn't last year. Quarry headliners didn't clash (that much) with main stage headliners either. I guess that's to stop overcrowding and can't really blame them. 

No idea if the Quarry is any bigger, unless anyone on here is in the know we may not find out until on site!

Yeah gutted about that. Will watch Maximo cause they're the wife's fave.

They've said on twitter it's a lot bigger
