Just a query, are there many thefts and stuff at this festival, just thinking of taking a nice cool box to store food and cold beer in...... Just a bit paranoid about it being robbed? And advise, or tips would be blooming marvellous 

I'd say with all festivals only take what you wouldn't be too upset about not bringing back, but I would've thought wallets and phones (i.e. probably more valuable and more portable items) would be higher on a thief's shopping list than a cool box.

I've never had a problem with items such as drink etc being taken so should imagine you'll be ok. Has heard of robberies but these were always think such as wallets phones etc  Like any festival though only take what you're prepared to lose!

I am perfectly happy with the line up here and at Boomtown which are the two I have arranged at present.

Some performers I am looking forward to, others not so much.

In my opinion there is lots to be had not all of which happens on the main stages.

My mind tends to remember the vibe and general enjoyment of the whole event.

When I find I am not enjoying it I will not go, whomever may be performing.

I half remember someone mentioning that Fatboy Slim is on after George Ezra.

Yes, i think Fatboy Slim is "late night set"

Anyway some nice half decent additions in my opinion.

Fuck it.  I’m paid up now.  Will be there and enjoy what ever.

I don't think it's that bad tbf, about 13 acts I'd see there.

[WhoOdyssey]

Keane have posted a different version of the poster, which says that The Lightning Seeds are on the Thursday with Wet Wet Wet.

[galbani]

Lightning Seeds - well worth seeing.

Only problem is.... we're not there on the Thursday!!!!!!!!

I'd say, by this festival's standards, this is a pretty sold lineup. A bit on the weak side probably but I'd get loads of mileage for the price. A Keane vs. Biffy Clyro clash would probably end in a mind explosion though and I'd have to be carted out in an ambulance.

I glad you have perked up and looking forward to it.

Don,t be afraid to ask me to buy you a pint or two if you see me.

Have fun.

Updated the clashfinder using last years timings as a basis. Obviously they're just estimates at the moment and there's clearly more acts to be added but here it is at the moment -

Just noticed they have bjorn again on the main stage.  

Have they had a tribute act before there? ?

[bigcharlie65]

Nah, loads more still to announce. Unlikely to be anything major left though

I would think only minor acts and some solo stuff left to announce.

If they have the same number of acts on the big top and main stage as last year then we are waiting on them to announce another 8 acts. 

[Sam217]

Electro love confirmed for this year, no Toploader or anyone like that though
