Correct me if I'm wrong but they upped the capacity again this year to 55k. A few years ago it was around 30 k so theres going to be less demand.

Its been 55k with a cliple of years. It also sold out in record time. The lack of demand now is from the young crowd that hate the line up for whatever reason (having a ****e taste in music)..

There'll (hopefully) be a notable increase in the average age this year.
There were a fair few underage babyfaces last year.

I wonder if that's on purpose.. crowd was getting too young so organizers have targeted quality acts but not names that attract the youngins

saying that I know a lot of people in their mid 20's who planned on going but have decided not to.

Guess we'll all be going to Annie Mac in the tent so!!

Bad forecast for today and tomorrow - hope the ground recovers sufficiently before Friday

Can't go to EP this year unfortunately but what's up with the tickets? I know it's not a ticket thread but I've been trying to sell my ticket for days now with no luck. Very strange. Usually snapped up ASAP.

I'm in the same boat, thought I'd get rid quick enough but no luck

Obscure question

Last year in the body and soul area on the Saturday night (bout 2 or 3 in the morning) there was an open tent with a dj playing soothing noise soundscape type stuff (like binaural beats) and everyone was lying around either asleep or meditating, or just stoned :-) It was really cool. I tried to find it then on the sunday night but couldn't, anyone know if that's an actual stage, or just one of the many mad tents in the body and soul area? Or did I imagine the whole thing!

I'd say it'll be great this year if the weather holds up.

It was basically Jesus and the stages of the cross but he was in EP

How much are the pair of you expecting to get for them? The price could be linked to your current predicament

I'm worried my new tent lamp is too bright. :P

John Gibbons is playing there all 3 nights, Bongo Steve, Robbie G, Kess Ross, Junior J, Futuristic PolarBears, Dave Nolan.

Anyone know where the logic stage is?

it's in the middle of the main arena usually, next to the Jerry Fish tent.
it's not on the map this year, but is presumably still there.

So the Salty Dog has surprise acts around 10.30 on Sunday night, as well as a 'surprise closing act' from 2am to 3am. Also there's an oddly long gap on the stage during the Saturday night (Clashfinder has nothing at all listed, not even a 'surprise' act) between 10.30 and 12.10.

Anyway, what i'm getting at here is : surely one of these spots is left open for King Kong Company!? It would be criminal to only have them on at 3pm in the day time in the Electric Arena.

Quick dream related question, but last week at Reading and Leeds, Giggs brought out Drake in the middle of his set, now Melvin Benn isn't dismissing the chances of this but of course he wouldn't, just wondering what people's thoughts are on the likelihood f this considering it'd fit well as there was no real 'big' headline act...one can dream hopefully

Giggs is listed as playing for half an hour on the main stage.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question.. Myself and the bf are heading to EP at the weekend. We have a three day camping ticket and will be parking in the designated car park. Anyway what I was wondering was is there 24 hour access to the car parks to go back to the car for stuff?

Hopefully, cause they really shouldn't be on so early Also, no sign of the Eskies this year. I'm a little sad about that.

Ya, you can go back to the car at any time. Not that you'll want to.
It's more fun to be a pack mule and get everything in first time :cool:

slim to none I'd say. R&L is a much bigger deal than EP, plus it's televised.
they also had Queens of the Stone Age and Wolf Alice doing secret sets.
