From the number of people obsessing over them Id say get there early just in case. No interest myself, not sure what the USP is.

I recommend you check them out, their USP is Hannah's voice really, trancy, memorising almost ASMR like.

I might use London Grammar's set as a chance to use the toilet. I did that last year at Arctic Monkeys and it was dead at the toilets, no waiting around for ages!

Not really, using the loos when there's a big act on is just plain sensible. The amount of people kicking off at Marley that the toilets were busy in the interval just before the Arctics was ridiculous. I mean of course that will be the busiest time.
I always go when a big act is on.

If you wear a nappy you can go to the toilet while watching London Grammar. It's an old Picnic trick known to a select few.

Strange how? When everyone leaves the campsite to go see an act, the toilets are totally empty so you're not waiting forever in a line of people to get near them. I call it practicality! :pac:

Personally I wouldn't risk it but I learned how to drive in the UK where you just don't drive unaccompanied. Why don't you try the carpool thread on here and make a decision tomorrow evening? Where are you driving from? Can you get a bus? I'd assume there would be a lot of guards at any event.

So to try get around the no drink in the arena rule, I decided to make vodka jellies. Did the same last year and they went down a treat! There's currently over a naggin in them, and topping up more and more every night.

Going down you'll probably be fine, going back on the Sunday Night / Monday morning they check quite a bit for drink drivers.

thats where id be most worried alright. i was thinking if its busy traffic wise they would be less worried about the L plates and more about the alcohol ha

are those vodka gummy bears!?!?

HOW DO I DO THIS. I want to make kilos.

Careful now, eat more than a few gummy bears at your peril. I ate about 50 of them one day and had an anal exorcism about an hour later. Happened a few others I know as well. Last thing you need while you're bopping away to the tunes is a rectal cleansing from the gods in the middle of a field!

Bumbleton

Loving the jelly idea, I wish I could think of some creative way of sneaking the drink into the arena other than the old capri-sonne shoulder routine!

If anyone's interested I made an Electric Picnic mixtape with music from most of the big acts and a few others I like. Might be good for the drive down! Hope you like it if you do give it a listen. You can find it on soundcloud by searching for the user "Doire"
