No

First time at the festival this year. Cant wait. A few questions for those who've been before? How busy does arrival get on Wednesday? Is there usually an app?

Not overly, though I go VIP so that's probably less busy in general.

 

No app, no.

They were due to play a separate day (Thursday vs Saturday) so guess it doesn't work for them logistically foe whatever reason.

Do you need a parking ticket if you're only doing one day?

Got Better Lovers with Unpeople supporting on Wednesday in Bristol and then arriving for the Friday evening and whole day Saturday.

I would imagine so

Has there been any word about the football being shown on Wednesday?

apart from when the organisers replied to someone saying they wouldn't as it wouldn't be fair on the bands playing

You do but only a day parking pass which is £5 instead of the £20 for full weekend

[onlyacat]

The organisers have been clear they aren't a fan of secrets sets. But if there was to be one... 

My money would be Bambie Thug on Thursday. They are good friends with Cassyette and Kid Brunswick who are playing that day. A little on the edge of 2KT tastes but would be fun. 

[bingobear]

looks like they've succumbed on the footy thing

[chilltheory]

Any word on what the silent disco sets will be on the different stages?

[Rusty Spoon]

Spanish Love Songs were outstanding last night, they were already on my list to see (x2) but what a band. Press Club have managed to earn themselves a slot in my clashfinder as well - luckily they're playing in one of my gaps.

 

I live fairly local to the site (under 30 minutes drive) and there's not been a dry day here in a good few days, possibly a week. It's continued to rain heavily overnight and still raining this morning. Even if the weather is dry, I'd expect it to be very muddy on the ground with the amount of traffic going over it and would recommend packing accordingly.

I'm loving the additions of some hip hop/ rap rock/ trap metal acts over the last couple years. Kid Bookie, Frozemode, Mimi Barks are standouts this year, let me know if I'm missing any!

[Rusty Spoon]

 

Someone had posted the map from site on Facebook. No changes from previous years it looks like. They have said they've opened up the back of the Forest so that should help a bit as it turned into a mudslide last year.

Is this a full on wellies situation or will walking boots be okay?

Hard to say without being on site. I'd imagine the usual spots - path next to the Axiom to Main Stage and entrance to the Forest will be fairly brutal come the Saturday though. Would love to be wrong however.

If it does not rain during the festival the ground will dry. It will be soft and damp yes but the footfall will actually help to dry it quicker but will create mud in some places. If it rains during the festival that is when the problems will come................ if not, we can all sit on the grass by Friday.

Amazing show, really delivered, BFE is such a great album. Looking forward to seeing them for a second and third time this week on Thursday. Has anything been put out on what the sets are, is the forrest an acoustic set?

 

I had no idea who the support was before ariving at the venue but will definitetly go and watch them again at the weekend, really got the crowd going with them.

[AndyC___]

Any Wednesday people there able to report back on what the ground is like? Can't find my wellies so keen to know how hard I should be searching for them!

[foolee]

Watched Unpeople and Better Lovers in Bristol last night. Both were on top form, make sure to catch both this weekend if you can.

Anyone know if they sell alcohol free cider? Driving and would rather support the festival and buy from them especially if they are cold.
