If this is before Friday let us know how you get on.

So, has anyone been to share any consensus from the first stage of the festival?

Some of the pictures have looked lovely - it's certainly a picturesque part of the country. Just a shame it's in the back-end of nowhere*.

(*relatively speaking)

Looks like they played 75 min set again last night:

Should be a good evening at a new venue for most of us!

Heads up for anyone using Central Tickets - Just cancelled my Weller ones because I've got covid, not only no refund (didn't expect one really) but I've been handed a 6 week ban for cancelling any of my first 3 orders.

Thats ridiculous - encourages people to just let them expire and not turn up vs freeing them up for someone else. rubbish

In case anyone wants some cheap-ish non Wetherspoons ale near the festival

Yes, the bar prices are exceptionally over the line here. 

Organisation seems mostly solid, the weather's holding good, and the frontwoman from Wet Leg may have been on the narcotics before hitting the stage, but that could be an unfair comment.

How were the strokes? not sure why i'm asking as i'm not even seeing them this year but they are my favourite guitar band!

I really enjoyed them. Julian was on good form having loads of random banter with the crowd.

Good venue, sunny evening, good sound, nice setlist.

Only downside seemed to be bar prices, apart from that I had a fantastic evening (I went to see Guns n Roses last Friday and the sound was shocking)

Spot on review. Thought they were great despite having v.low expectations.

[NorthernSoul52]

Possibly in need of a new thread, but Def Leppard and Motley Crue will co-headline a night.

That is a wild booking.
