So they are!

Will have to miss the end of Taylor Swift to make it over to James Bay but quite happy it's possible to see both. Really not bothered about Florence.

Just need to find myself a poncho now as I don't trust the Welsh weather and every forecast I've seen has been different.

Currently raining here and we're expecting thunderstorms. Definitely be rain prepared

Bit of light drizzle in Swansea right now, shouldn't be much mud in Singleton Park now as most of the set up is done and they're about to start sound checking.

Looks like it's gonna piss down on the Sunday that I've got tickets for, luckily the introducing stage appears to be a tent. 

[DDave]

Small crowd so far.

FJM been and gone already. Glorious weather here. Can’t understand why it isn’t sold out - it’s not a huge area, not sure what the capacity is but looks about 10k.

Supposed to be 18k.

Filled up nicely now. FJM and Baloji the best acts so far.

Any of this on the tele?

This doesn't really seem to be pulling the biggest crowds in the world.

It did fill up later on. More than I thought it would tbh. Orbital, Beck, FJM, The Manics and Baloji all highlights. Decent day, although bar queues longer than they should be.

[henry bear]

It did fill up, just quite a small venue. The queues at the bars were very sporadic - sometimes you could more or less walk up to the counter, other times a 10 minute wait. Good venue though and some great sets yesterday. Even the Manics, who I’ve seen so many times I can’t get excited about, were terrific. Beck and PSB were superb. 

[NickisGinger]

Watching Jess Glynne on iPlayer, Swansea looks really small. The trees definitely don’t help.

[Owen4567]

Anyone on site at Swansea? What is the ground like? Will I get away with trainers tomorrow or are wellies needed? I doubt the latter is necessary but just wanted to check 

[TheWaters]

Just drove past the Coventry site in to have a quick look round for parking spots tomorrow and I noticed they've made the field a bit smaller from the usual size for Godiva Fest. Looks as if they've brought the stage forward a few metres in what isn't a massive area anyway.

[DDave]

Sacked Franz Ferdinand and Underworld off for the CL Final. Can't be arsed with the bar queues and nothing will touch Shame live anyway. Great weekend though.

[Rico_Pliskin]

Shame were amazing. Dude is such a showman. Can’t wait to hear a new album.

Did anyone see the 1975 signs around Swansea yesterday? Seeing as every other band there advertised was playing, any chance of a secret set?

The site was fine with trainers for the whole day. Little bit of mud but the ground is pretty solid as it only rained a little. Obviously a little boggy by the toilets but that’s a given!

[TheWaters]

Can hear LG sound checking from my house considering I've already seen him once, I'm way more excited than I should be.
