In the event that it doesn't sell out, has anyone got any experience in booking flights/accommodation just a few weeks in advance? 

I'd like to go again but won't know if it's possible until my exam timetable comes out, which is cutting pretty fine even if there are tickets left.

I've bought my flights around mid-april every time I've been, there's usually a ryanair sale on around then, don't think I've ever spent more than about £80 for return? Also a lot of accomodation has free cancellation up to the end of may...

Japandroids Sunday show will be a killer. Thursday is the strongest day to my eyes.

Yeah I agree, tho it seems more evenly distributed than normal.

Are Sunday shows as oversubscribed as the Wednesday things apparently are or have people gone home?

They're free to the public so they're busy. Crowd was pants this year for Bradford Cox (basically just Deerhunter doing a jam session, then NEH) but a bit better for Black Lips. In a different location though, much more central in the city. But not as busy as Wednesday, come to think of it.

[Hip Priest]

I really enjoyed Deerhunter (and Mudhoney afterwards) open air on the Sunday though it's true a lot of the people in attendance are just there for a drink and weren't even at the main festival. Didn't make it to the Apolo Sunday shows, as no-frills ticket holder is it even worth trying to get in?

[weston24]

I went to the Apolo on the Sunday 2014 and got in easily for Cloud Nothings, turned up around an hour early. Went to BARTS in 2015 and didn't bother with any Sunday night gigs this year but would assume that it would have been quite busy with the lineup it had.

Japandroids will be busy, but depends what else is on and turning up in time for the first band should still get you in I would say.

Evening. I'm contemplating going to this, as i missed out on Glastonbury tickets. I'll no doubt have a few dumbarse questions over the next few weeks, for which i can only apologise.

first up, is it a physical ticket that needs to be posted to me, or are they etickets? Or is there the posdibility to collect them on arrival? I can't seem to find this info on their website

Thanks mate, appreciate it. That's a lot easier

Shouldn't moan after a wonderful lineup but Wednesday is piss-poor. Maybe a Bon Iver Secret Show to rescue things?

wedding present, st. etienne, local natives, kate tempest...piss-poor. objectively not.

[xxialac]

I saw St Etienne a few years ago at Primavera and thought they were an embarrassment live whose sound had aged terribly (though I do like some of their early recorded output). Wedding Present were quite fun but forgettable just before Blur in 2013.

Didn't like the latest Local Natives record but I agree maybe I've been a bit harsh, am now re-considering Kate Tempest and agree it's not bad all.

Saint Etienne were one of the best bands I saw this year, tremendous fun.

Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. Was the Porto edition. She absolutely couldn't sing in key and their keyboard heavy setup didn't make for a great sound.

[xxialac]

So many bands listed for Sunday, I'm assuming half are for the afternoon gigs and half for the closing party.

I guess Japandroids will play in the evening but what about the following?
Chk Chk Chk, Make-up, Sleaford Mods

Any good guesses?

has Flying Lotus always been on the Sound lineup? was about to post that i wish we had him but seems he's already there, although i don't remember him being there. probably just me being stupid

Justice are the only one from that list that are immediately missed from the Sound lineup for me

Right, i'm sorry for another dumbass question. How much of the music takes place in this big outdoor venue and how much of it is inside (if i understand correctly) smaller venues with limited capacity and queuing? 

[Mardy]

I was thinking about getting VIP tickets but i see they're sold out
