Some interesting comments. Sounds like exciting additions to come. Historically, announcement #2 usually is packed with established artists and some big hitters. Tends to drop mid-late January.
Compared to other festivals, the campsites are quite strictly managed as they fill up and purely from my experience, I haven’t seen tents get wedged into constrained spaces (unlike I’ve witnessed Leeds / Reading and Download). Once a campsite is deemed full, they put out on socials and announce to the queue and strategically channel people through campsites as they fill the sites.
Again, anecdotally - campsite etiquette is much better than other festivals I’ve been to, and you get a sense of people’s space / stuff been respected. No waking up in the early hours to a big campfire 2 feet from your tent (like Leeds fest…) haha. But, the campsites have a buzzing atmosphere and everyone friendly / a great sense of excitement and people there for a celebration of great music. The caveat is, that it’s only my experience. But, I find it significantly better / safer than many others.
We’ve actually booked a Yurt in the Glampink this year. We find Festitent and pre-prepared tents much better, as it works out more cost-effective than checking luggage on Ryanair and saves the hassle of setting up / breaking down a camp.
If Bloc Party were instead of NBT so not requiring an extra Thursdah ticket that could be a goer with a Courteeners alternative. It's not the only option that Bloc Party and TLDP are going to fon though.
