[evilduck]

Yak on Nick Cave day, that's such a stacked lineup already! I'm going to be running about everywhere.

Anyone got any recommendations for who to see on Saturday before Rex Orange County?

Bearcubs are ok, bit James Blake meets Sampha, or Sevdaliza for some wonky electro R’n’B with very mild FKA Twigs hints 

[Mash011]

Not gonna bother going in until ROC are on I don't think. Have a few drinks instead - boogie in the Despacio tent if you have to go in.

Thanks. Not really sold on either description. Beers outside plus a bit of despacio sounds like a winner.

Same question from me. Parts of that Saturday look a bit poor,  albeit it does have some great names at the end of the day plus Rex.

Check out Karyyn if you haven't. I recall you like Bjork and she is very much in the same line as her and Arca and co. and is even approved by The Bjorker herself.

Also ditch Rex Orange County. He's a hack.

I know he's cheesy yet somehow I really like his vibes.

Yeah I think he's incredibly lucky (probably an industry plant) but admittedly if there's anywhere he should fare best it's on a sunny afternoon, whereas Karyyn maybe won't but check her tunes out regardless!

As a newcomer on the block, I doubt it's the sort of festival that is organised enough to offer secret sets and that gap isn't that long.  Though otherwise that Hot Chip Megamix thing would work well then. Hope I'm wrong, mind.

As above there's some fuckery going on with those times - I'm fairly sure BBGN were originally listed later? And there's a weird 5 minute change over earlier in the day. So those times may just be wrong.

SO.....any sub £20 tickets yet?!?

Might I direct you to a fine website called 'eFestivals':

Which day? I've seen as low as about £30 atm, but if you haggle with desperate people you might get below that.

[Jon F]

Still a big gap on the main stage at the start of The National day.   Too late to hope that there's something to be added there?   If only to make up for the Future Islands / War on Drugs clash.

[Bradders]

Karyyn is good but dunno how she’ll fare in the afternoon sunshine on the main stage. Weird placement.

Where have you seen them? Still on the lookout...

Twitter, the facebook events, ebay

[Clakus]

Assuming there's gonna be scary sniffy sniffer dogs on the entrances for LCD day right? There wasn't any for BST or Citadel last time I attended but at a big fancy new event like this I'd expect them. Thoughts?

I think they had them at Field Day and Lovebox last year, at least when I was going in...

[TomViolence]

+ at Citadel. Grrr.

Presumably, they have to match the same licence criteria that Field Day & Lovebox did on the same site?

Field Day had plenty of dogs just after the turnstiles aimed at the punters walking in and being walked towards those that their handler's had profiled.

I'm heading along to the LCD day this weekend, mainly for Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Glass Animals. Not mad about LCD soundsystem but i'll probably give them a watch. Also plan to see Confidence Man, Superorganism and Yonaka. Any more recommendations in the gaps?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Every event I've been to at Victoria Park has had dogs on the gates, just have to be a bit careful with the queue you pick.

Hookworms, although they clash with the second half of Superorganism.

You can easily check out the whole lineup on this here Spotify playlist, based on each act's recent setlists.
