    I'm literally looking in to the same thing for a Stah, so would be eager to hear too.

    I've been once, ironically it was 2012! Never thought I'd get the chance to see those 3 headliners in one place so couldn't miss it. Getting there was ok, we flew Belfast to Southampton, then got the ferry over. That year they had torrential rain the day before we landed so the island was at a standstill. We were stuck in one spot for about 6 hours, not the fault of anyone though so we just sucked it up.

    I loved the island, would definitely go back to it (we stayed for a week). Re the festival, its not really for me. I found the site layout a bit strange, a long, thin site where you had to walk through every stage to get to the main stage area. We also found there was a bit of an end of year school vibe about the place, quite a lot of rich English kids in attendance. In short it's not for us anymore but it may well be up your street!
