If they are announced it'll be an Orbital vs King Kong Company clash.

Mark Graham will be pissed off, I imagine he would probably want to see Orbital too, but then again he's headlining the second biggest stage.

The announcement hasn't happened yet though, lets judge it after it happens. It might be great! Not long now.

Indeed, we've taken in many a stranger that wanted to keep partying when at festival campsites. I never have problems meeting people in these situations myself so will be grand. Can't wait now!

We took a guy under our wing at body & soul just gone, he was probably about 5 years younger than most of us. He was by himself sitting at a bench we were at so got him chatting and he seemed on a great happy buzz. New-stranger-friend then asked one of our pals (who was far far away in a land of fairies) what his name was and our pal was just looking at him blankly, I reckon trying to figure out whether he should tell him his real name or his usual nickname.
The new stranger friend completely turned and started calling us all undercover guards because "how can you forget your own name!!"
Usually most Stranger-Friend experiences don't end this way anyone is welcome to come buzz about our lil group if you find yourself lost!
This whatsapp group will be lovely for that kinda thing

Coconut water is 100% my go to. Its like natural dioralyte. I do also bring dioralyte tho.

I generally don't suffer from huge hangovers, mainly only for a couple of hours beause of dehydration so these always do the trick

Berocca is another good one for the vits, but I tend to eat fruit for breakfast anyway.

A decent feed is crucial.

Aspirin or paracetamol (do not take ibuprofen cause it's harsh on the stomach)

Can't remember where I heard that it was good to take Rennie with smiley faces if that's your thing. Not exactly a next day remedy more of an enhancement.

Milk thistle supposed to be real good for your liver. And yeh my friend swears by dioralyte, brings a big packet and makes everyone take one.
5HTP if you can get your hands on it and Magnesium.

I'll have the Panadol in the back pocket all weekend, an essential for me these days. The loud music, dehydration and long dragged out sessions can give me some really annoying headaches that need to be gotten rid of.

Some people recommend charcoal tablets too?

Best one for me was at EP years ago and I lost everyone so went back to what I thought was my mates tent to wait for the gang there. Went in to the tent to help myself to a can of his beer and relaxed in his camping chair.

Soon after the actual owners of the tent came back, I was mortified after going in and taking a strangers beer and explained myself!

Their reaction was brilliant, they went in and got me another can and we drank together for hours! I must have an honest face

It's a pity the likes of Tourist, George Fitzgerald and Jon Hopkins aren't on later. They are in headline slots rather than dancing after the headline slots. They all clash with John Grant, Hot Chip, The Good, the Bad and the Queen and the National. Not a major complaint but that's my only gripe with what otherwise looks like a great weekend of music ahead.

Buckfast???

Walnuts and Bananas. Magnesium supplements this week and during the festival help ease muscle tightness that certain substances may bring on.
5-HTP to bring the smiles back.

Berocca and solpodene!

I swear by dioralyte, effervescent panadol and high 5 zero effervescents and a caffeine gel (like cyclists / runners etc use)

all in one go... perfect recovery

also I'll be bringing some melatonin/5htp/valerian root tablets to sleep if I'm finding it hard...and maybe some valium

Arcadia. Go towards the fire.

I'm also on my own, would appreciate a bit company over the weekend. Will join the boardsie group.
Last year was my first festival, EP. Really enjoyed it, couldn't get over the scale and missed a lot of stuff. But it got a bit too edgy on Sunday with all the younger day trippers.

Anybody remember the 1970's version of EP?

They were called Peace Parties and they were free!
