awesome.

 

Do they have the lists of all the beers/ciders available in the programme again this year?

[Stillill42]

Folks I presume that map is exactly the same as last year's?

Pretty much yeah, it never materially changes.

Has a festival ever had two more confusing acts booked than Johnny Flynn and John Francis Flynn?

Layer on top of this there is also JOHN and John Maus knocking about, and the stage is set for a load of confused John fans (of some flavour) turning up to something they really weren't expecting. 

Just as well John Mouse isn’t playing this year as well.

Are the showers in the tangerine fields available to all or just those camped in tangerine? Also are they free and any good?

I'm in Tangerine fields, they don't have their own dedicated showers, just normal access to general showers. I was a bit confused myself when I saw the map, certainly appears that the shower block is situated in TF but they're defo for all and sundry.

Thanks. I would upvoted but seems I’ve run out of reaction today, must be the excitement!

I’ve had one before when there were no queues. Just depends what time of day you go, think I went around lunchtime 

[bexj]

Before 7am or after midday are usually best times for a smaller shower queue

Nice doesn't sound too bad then depending on time of day. 

 

I'm so excited for this festival. I know a bunch of people were underwhelmed by the lineup but it is 10x more interesting to me than the main stages were at Glastonbury this year.

I was potentially one of those people, now after a few months exploring the line up, I've now got more problems to do with clashes than gaps. 

 

One of the best things about the festival for me, I always come away with a new bunch of acts I didn't know before, but become a big fan of.

Killer 4 way clash between Mount Kimbie, A Savage, Fat White Family and Getdown Services. That’s the biggest one for me.

Yeah, Friday's the day alright. I'm just before you with Personal Trainer vs Julia Holter preceded by This is the Kit vs Beak vs Jess Williamson. Not to mention Hotline TNT vs MRCY.

[Stillill42]

Actually, upon closer inspection, I've just noticed that that stretch on the Friday also clashes with King Rocker introduced by Stewart Lee and Portishead live in New York introduced by Adrian Utley in the Cinedrome AND Jesus and Mary Chain, Beak, This is the Kit, A.Savage etc. all in the Rough Trade tent! Mental array of riches. Mother of God, the excitement is almost too much.

If it helps, I've seen Getdown Services and got Goldie Lookin' Chain vibes. As in, they were good fun at the time but a little bit novelty and got the sense a repeat wouldn't be as good.

I’m down for a bit of fun, probably wouldn't see them again anyway. I’m more excited for them than Sleaford Mods.

Real anti-Sleaford Mods vibe throughout this thread. Obviously all opinions on music are valid (beauty in the ear of the listener etc) but you're all wrong. 

 

Still, if it turns out being a small committed crowd, even if it is just me, all the better I say.

I’ve seen Getdown twice and thought they were great both times. First time were the support and they did a better show than the main act. Very high energy, good vibes. Will prob see them again this weekend to be fair.

I wanted to see SM at Bearded, but then couldn't go, so they were a must see here.... until a nasty clash appeared with Das Koolies.  Being a long time Super Furries Fan, and saw them here in 2006 (?) I'm afraid SM is going to have to wait again!

Don't want to jinx anything, but my current plan is to leave the wellies at home. Others thinking the same?

Oh leave them at home, Atoms. The power of positive thought.
