Fair enough. I guess I can relate a bit more because my general approach has been to go see bands I like, and if there isn't anything, go watch Theatre/Circus/Comedy.
And the interesting thing is Circus now shuts at 6pm Sunday, so does The Glebe and Poetry&Words. Pavement/Gateway/Sensation/Walkabout acts only run until 6pm most days anyway. Astrolabe shuts at 8pm Sunday.
There's quite a lot of the festival that shuts by Sunday evening. Obviously there's also plenty of other stuff still on but honestly don't blame people for wanting to leave a bit early - especially as for some, driving home Midnight-5am wouldn't be safe, so it means another night in the tent, but 7pm-midnight would be and gets them home effectively a day early. Saves a day's annual leave too for people who have work on Monday.
Went right through the night as partner wanted to see someone 3-4am SE corner. Packed up before headliners the Sunday night. Back to camp for 4:30, last toilet breaks and collecting stuff and we were at the coach queue by 5:20. Barely any queue and managed to get on the 5:40 back to Bristol despite having a 6am ticket. Luckily live not far from Bristol coach station so I was home by 7:15! Very pain free and glad to have all day Monday to sleep!
