One piece of advice for wet weather that may not have been mentioned yet.
I learned from experience years ago to never camp under a tree if rain is expected. While the rest of the campsite sigh's in relief when it stops you'll be listening to water dripping for hours afterwards. It can drive you slowly mad.

Hats off to the posters who suggest Lemeitre... Hooked

Could someone paste the Poetry and Slam timetable here please?

I'd never camp under a tree anyway, it's used as a toilet.

On the positive side 06z GFS charts show Sunday night much better with little to no rain!

Hi Guys,
My friend(guy) is buying a ticket of a friend(girl) from work.
Her name is on it, will he have any issues going in with it?

Glass Animals are so, so, so good. Similar to Alt-J.

Daft Punk, Marlay Park, nearly exactly 10 years ago. Absolutely poured out of the heavens for the entire gig, yet still one of the best experiences of my life.

**** wellies. I hate them - they are uncomfortable, usually cold, provide very little cushion for walking, and make your legs and feet sweat. Much prefer a pair of waterproof hiking boots myself - comfy, warm, and more lightweight. Plus you can reuse them again outside of a festival weekend!

I agree, but not much good now if you don't have them 'broke in'

Get out. 18.10 Friday, These Charming Men present the Queen is Dead. It's all coming up roses for me.

I have two pairs of Merrell hiking boots. Expensive, but so very comfortable - I think the second pair took about 5 minutes to break in
