Sorted tickets for this one. Really looking forward to it. One of the best line ups anywhere for me. Weather looks mainly dry, if a little cold. Roll on Thursday and Ezra Furman, who is brilliant live.

Yeah,  looking forward to young Ezra. Pack a hat, scarf and gloves if last year is anything to go by.

I haven't been since 2 years ago, was the site layout the same last year as it is this year? it was a lot different 2 years ago, we were camped in the bit where the family camping is now.

Whats the new one like, any tips on where to camp? Anyone know how close the festival/car park is to general camping?

Absolutely buzzin, cany believe its only a few days away now

The camping layout is all new for this year mate. General is at the other side of the site now but the walk won`t be far compared to other festivals. Hopefully the tent is bigger and maybe further away from the main stage as there was a bit of sound bleed problems last year. The main stage was loud !

Yeah have been told about that, is that day and night? temperatures don't look much different than last year, maybe a degree warmer.

In your tent in the middle of the night it was Baltic ! Like sleeping in a igloo! Was terrible! Actually thought I had frost bite on my nose !

Last year it was glorious during the day but Baltic at night. I’m not joking about hat, scarf, gloves :-)

Really cold for the sleeping at night. My Mrs got a few strange looks asking the van folk to fill her hot water bottle !

Hi Guys

 

2 x Adult tickets Friday/Saturday for sale - complete bargain at £100 for the pair - not each.  Any takers?

Cheers

Any posh loo/shower tickets going spare?

[DDave]

So weather looks alright apart from the Thursday night which looks brass monkeys. Packing up the car today for the trip tomorrow morning from Manchester. Can't wait.

Anyone know when Ezra Furman is on ? I`m guessing he`ll get half an hour probably around 7pm ish ?

Thursday night is going to be cold.....but dry !

James around 9 till 10.30 do we think ?

Slightly earlier I'd have thought for Ezra. 

Think main stage starts at 5pm, so assuming that is Orielles I'd guess nearer 6.15pm for Ezra.  7.30pm for Ride. 9pm for James.

That's a total guess mind - Stage times are being released later today apparently.

[DDave]

I'd be very disappointed (and so would he) if he only got 30 mins. 

Edit - times are on the website. 45 mins for Ezra.

1st time at EF's for us - can't wait.  Does anyone have any advice on what traffic/entry tends to be like on 1st day?  Would be helpful just to have an idea of how long to leave ourselves.

Cheers.

Depends on what time you plan on arriving really and where you are coming from. Usually pretty slick at moving people through the estate to the car parks though.....unless you get collared by the sniffer dogs.

Cheers.  We're heading from the South up from Dumfries.  Not staying on site, so it'll just be car park and into the arena.

Noel Gallagher & Young Fathers not clashing is the best news ive heard all day :) roll on tomorrow, cany wait

[Rubber Soldier]

First time going for a group of about 12 of us. Can’t wait. 

We’re getting the shuttle bus down from Glasgow (environmentally friendly innit?) and camping with Tangerine Fields. Anyone know what the entry process is like, timescale, security etc? Planning who we want to see now the set times are out and it’s be good to have an idea of how quickly we could get in, settled and then into the arena.

Was really quick last year but all change with the camping layout this year and I’m guessing more folk this year although not sold out. 

There was a full on check of all bags last year looking for glass...allegedly :-)

Not expecting any hold ups today. Schools back so tomorrow probably busier.

[Paulmcm1998]

Arrived safely and tents up but I've realised I've forgot a camping chair. Is there anywhere on site which sells one?

We're in, tent up, feet up. Couldn't have been smoother and family camping is great so far.

Yes they are checking for glass. No Bluetooth speakers an all, at least not in family camping.

Bring fly repellent. Loads of midges and wasps.

This is fucking great!

Absolute scenes at Young Fathers. Got handed the set list while sipping on a rum and taking it all in  after they had walked off. Tremendous.
