Sorry folks, just wondering if a pair of wellies is an essential for this festival if it rains? Was going to order a pair online just in case. Thanks.

Thanks..while I'm at it......I believe I will drive there by myself and arrive at 9pm on the first night. How much of a nightmare could it be then finding my mates campsite, pitching the tent, carrying in the beer etc. while its dark? Or should I just leave it til the Saturday morning?

Shouldn't be to hard by text. To find their tent?get one of them to meet you ffs

I'm a major believer in them: showers without a big queue, super relaxing and great for your hangover. I usually book it on Friday afternoon for Saturday lunchtime.

Expect to pay 20-25 euro depending on numbers - possibly less for a really big gang.

Bring yr own togs!

€25 each?

Aphex Twin - nailed on. He does have a new AFX album to promote after all...

Ha good one, since when does Aphex twin go on tours to promote albums. He'd be totally lost on most of the crowd that heads to the picnic these days anyway.


Probably Madness, they are in Gibraltar sunday night , so friday or saturday so.

Seems a bit ridiculous that you have to give advance notice of a private coach, drivers name, when you'll be arriving/leaving etc.
Surely it's better to have an unannounced coach than >25 unannounced cars!!

Well there's not a squeak from We are the music makers forum nor Warp about an impending Aphex Twin tour or set of gigs, but fcuk me! It would blow my mind if I saw his name on print in the EP bill, I'd be screaming ABOUT TIME!

BD you've been calling for Aphex twin for a long time now, I think you would actually blow a gasket if they were announced!!!

The past couple of years have been grand, don't think I used the wellies too much, but 100% you need to bring a pair!!
There's another 5k people this year, (+12,000 more than <2013) ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!! But if we did get a wet year combined with the extra people I'm not entirely sure the setup could cope with this? Very little decking last year! It would be a complete muck fest!!

Wonder will we see Bill Bragg again, he's only got one gig on that weekend in Brighton. Hop and a skip to the airport from there for him.

I don't know why but I have a feeling on The Libertines and they have a gaping EP sized hole in their schedule. That would be excellent. Obvs The Coronas and Madness are likely too.

Libertines...

Suppose they would be useful in taking one for the team and emptying the tents out of kiddies so that I could get up closer to Ms twigs for ... Reasons

rebelreded

And Royal Blood is similarly available....

It it rains,it will be destroyed. The extra camping is to the right as you exit the woods in a field alongside the camper van. It was empty last year. Rain forecast for the Thursday

Fair play to the mod,his/her earlier comment has generated some interest

It's two weeks away, any weather predictions this far out are to be taken with a lot sized wife lump of salt (she wasn't fat, just big boned), laughed at and then laughed at again on the day if wrong.

I really must be getting old, they're totally lost on me, they're not bad, nice clean angry sound, just nothin new in it, would be interested to see if there's a bit more umph to them live

They're gonna be huge in my opinion, If they produce another 1/2 decent album I think they could rise to Kasibian, Muse level. Haven't seen them live yet, but they certainly seem to pack a punch live, but not too hardcore to push people away!
Bands in town suggest their tour is over in Aug, so a real possibility!!

scruff monkey

Suppose it is on their way home, it's possible

Given talk of lighting and such stuff, now is as good a time as any to remind people to not bring any sort of candle with them and to slap the living sh1te out of anyone you know who is dumb enough to.
