I heard the TBA is Porridge Radio in a WhatsApp group about half an hour ago.

This backs that theory up

If Porridge Radio I will be elated - very happy with that after MPuss pulled out

bdrmm have posted on their social media that they're playing at 2.30 (Clashfinder says 2.45), and Opus Kink have posted saying they're on at 12 (Clashfinder says 12.30).

Is it better to believe the set times the bands themselves are posting, or what's on Clashfinder (which I believe matches the official programme)?

They're taken from the programme.

The clashfinder is taken from the programme, so would read as correct normally,  but the times printed for settlement bands for Wednesday in the programme were 2 hours earlier than actual,  so make of that what you will. I plan to be half an hour for Opus Kink, no way I want to miss any of their set

They're almost directly up against Marta del Grandi which is a massive pain in the hoop.

Yep! There's quite a bit of that for me this time.  What initially looked like an alright line up has grown to be a clash extravagancy. I could happily see most bands each day and not be disappointed.

Bar Italia cancelled their gig at Paredes de Coura today due to a medical emergency.

Wonder if that means GM will be cancelled as well.

Please see Lonnie Holley, Julia Holter and One Leg One Eye.

Pretty shoddy planning really when there’s so many overlaps of bands too. Hope the main run of their timetable is more accurate as I’ll be leaving some early to catch others and if this is how it’ll play out will end up missing loads. 
 

surprised there’s no app again this year. Would’ve been nice to have times on hand. But then suppose signal is an issue there anyway.

Still literally no idea what to expect weather wise today, but the upshot is, every other day is outstanding. Enjoy the festival everyone! 

[Stillill42]

In the airport now, absolutely buzzing. Have a great one everybody!

Apols for the plug, but if anyone travelling would like to listen to a slightly meandering preview pod (with some recaps of other festivals thrown in), you can find one here

20 mins away and it’s a bit drizzly! BBC reckons gusty winds and high chance of rain at 11 and 5

Met Office reckons the worst of the wind will pass before the music, but don't forget the site is in a valley - I know there was one year there were yellow warnings for wind and it didn't affect things much. They also say light but persistent showers, worst between 6 and 8, then drifting off to drizzle before midnight, followed by a dry and warm weekend. There'll be rain on Monday but most should have left by the time it arrives.

Anyone on site fancy posting some pics for those of us not going this year?

Assuming it doesn’t change 😉

Already listened & it’s a great pod!

We’re about 30mins away from site waiting for mates to arrive. Cloudy but no rain here. Wondering what the queues are like to get in car park when we get there

It is the usual pain in the derriere a la most moderately sized festivals but it is worth every milli-second. Breathtaking, awe-inspiring, stunning! Lives will change forever.

My word, Nuthugger. You've upped the already stratospheric anticipation levels. On the National express from Bristol and not a can to be seen. Which is disappointing.
