    Poop tent?

    Allegedly some people bring an extra tent and put a bucket in it to avoid the toilets.

    The loos are really not at all bad these days. Don't know what people are worried about. Long drops are fine, there are flushing loos as well, and the sawdust recycling ones are fantastic.

    Steer clear of the portaloos of course.

    Certainly the only headliner I wanted to see! :(

    Rumours of T Swizz again. Second year not seeing a headliner on the Pyramid. What a blow! Why couldn't it be Kanye.

    Both the official page and efestivals have crashed. I guess people are going to speculate new means someone not on the lineup will be shipped in but I'm thinking it'll just be a bump up for Florence and the Machine.

    Hard to know.. the article does say:
    A new Friday night headliner will be announced soon.

    I suppose "new" could either suggest support being bumped up, or a new headliner entirely.

    Just sayin' what I heard. Hasn't got enough material for 2 nights. (No offense, few have but still wouldn't see him once) Reckon it's gonna be Blur alright or, as someone said, bump Florence.

    If you are staying in the campervan site then stash your passport etc in the van, but well hidden. Then just keep your ticket and passout in a secure pocket for each time you are in the site. You won't need to use the lockups for those things, you'll have to be of relatively sane mind each evening/ morning when you treck back to the van anyway. You should use the lockups for beer, chairs, waterproofs that you don't want to carry about all day.

    Those who are staying in the main area camping should stash their passports in the lockups though would be my advice. Those people are more likely to end up in a ditch upside down at 5am. :D

    Just checking - if you're taking a campervan over from here then why would you take your passport? Do you need it to access the site?

    Do you not need it to enter the UK by ferry? Would a drivers license do?

    Gutted the foos are out. At such short notice I'd say it'll be a bump up.

    Never needed it when coming into Holyhead - why would Fishguard be different?

    yes, a drivers licence is fine.

    Ireland/Britain Routes

    Irish Ferries recommend all passengers bring a passport with them. Irish and British citizens do not strictly require a passport to travel between the two countries - some form of identification is however required. Please note that all nationalities except Irish or British require passports. Non-EU nationals should check with the British or Irish embassy before travelling as they may also need a visa. Passengers who turn up at our ports without valid documentation may not be allowed to enter either Ireland or Britain.

    Useful means of identification when travelling on these routes are:

    Passport
    Driving Licence
    European identity Card
    Bank cards
    Photo ID (school or college)
    Utility Bills
    Birth Certificate

    I'll be going from Bristol, so no need for a passport anyway. The discussion was getting a bit confused between passport/ cash/ valuables and where to leave them in either campervan or lockup, the word "passport" ended up stuck in my head as a generic word for "valuable item that you really can't afford to lose or get covered in mud".

    But, no you don't need a passport for driving/ ferry between Ireland and the UK (if you are an Irish or UK national).

    No harm in taking the passport just in case, keep it in a safe place in the car/camper.

    The ferry is great, no check in bull, security screening etc. maybe it's just me but I've never had to show ID of any sort! Ever!

    Took the ferry on a stag to wales a while back, walked on the boat with a plastic cup of vodka and Coke, walked right off again in Holyhead with the same container!! (Mind you topped up once or twice!) seriously easy going compared to an airport!!

    What's the deal with the James Blunt thing! It's from his verified account + feeds his web page too, I assume he's been hacked or taking the piss?

    He is just taking the piss... it's his verified account alright.

    He's very funny on Twitter though - he retweets the barrage of insults he gets and comments on them - well worth following!

    Ahaaa can't say I follow or would ever consider following him all because of that one song!! You know it!!.... You're singing it right now aren't you!!

    Bit more respect for him now though! Some random tweets!!

    In fairness to the organisers, it's well late to be pulling surprises or epic'ness out of the bag to replace the Foos, in demand acts will already be well booked up this time of year!!
