I’ve mostly been floating between King Tut’s and The River stage but it’s surprisingly fine. I went with trainers in the end and that’s been fine, ground is mostly dry at the moment, though if it rains tomorrow it could get muddy pretty quickly.

The main stage feels like a completely different festival. Admittedly I’ve mostly been watching 6music type acts like Cloth, The Big Moon and Warmduscher but the crowd difference when you get closer to the main stage makes me feel incredibly old!

Cheers! I felt the same last year. It’s a young crowd.

It was a bit muddy to the left of the King Tuts stage where all the food stalls are, guess it cut up when they were setting up in the rain on Thursday. Apart from that it was fine but not sure how it'll hold up if we get the heavy showers forecast today

Trainers would have been fine yesterday but not today.

The front pit seems to be packed with the young team. We got in for Pulp but the atmosphere was brilliant. Really enjoyed it. Jarvis on fire. Also thought Paul Heaton was excellent. Great gesture putting cash behind 5 bars near the green 👏

I always think I’ll not go back as my kids go now but they seem to like having an “older” line up on the Friday so you never know.

Went for the full weekend for the first time since 2018 and had a brilliant time.

The crowd on Friday in particular was great, but didn't see any bother on the Saturday or Sunday.

Very quick getting in all three days and hardly any wait at the bars.

Some personal highlights - The Wombats, Nothing But Thieves, Paul Heaton, Hamish Hawk, The Enemy, Pulp.

Having been sceptical I'd ever go back for the weekend, I'd do it again with another good line up.

Same as our experience although was only in on the Friday. Straight in and never broke stride in the bar queue walk before getting served straight away.

Thought sound was really good for Heaton and Pulp 🕺

Only watched the TV coverage but my surprise highlight was Heaton.  Great addition in Rianne Downey.

Line up dependent on me but would go again if that’s right. Being able to get the bus home helps but it is a very well organised event and the layout is spot on, unavoidable occasional sound bleed aside.
