Food stalls
Hazelwood has comedy on and a cafe/bar
Salty dog will have something and I think free town will be open.

Carnival in Jimmy Hendrix is open too for those inclined (of which I am one )

It's also just class (imo) waking up all set up Friday instead of dealing with all the traffic and clambering for tent space. Remember going to bed after a gazebo sesh Thursday iwith loads of space between everyone's tents and sticking my head out the next morning to chaos

Sorry to disappoint guys

Another benefit - 2 out of our group are coming down on Thursday to pitch tents and get set up after work, then heading home that night as they've to work half days the Friday. Takes away so much stress

That's Otherkin gone anyway.

That is a real pity have some great memories of their gigs and a great album. EP shows could be mental now.

Delighted we got Kneecap, at least one of my predictions was correct!

optogirl

that's it according to EP website - final line up. Not much there for me on today's announcement but plenty to keep me happy overall. 2 weeks baby!

Daisies

Kodaline just announced. Blah blah

Nugget89

King Kong Company, Touts, JyellowL, The Scratch, The Wha, and Sinead O'Brien had all been announced for Body & Soul or Salty Dog already.

rubick

Um.

Freetown pls?

Weepsie

If I had a ticket, and Kodaline and Razorlight were added, I'd nearly give it back. That's made the line up actually look worse.

Jesus christ. The lineup looked better yesterday.

I do think there has to be some decent dance act added!

Grim. Very grim

I just noticed on the early entry pass , it says entry at 9pm? Is that correct ? Didn't go early last year but from what I can remember it was around 6pm.

Lucky nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to see them so.

Gates open 4pm (although it was 4.20pm last year, slackers).

BullBlackNova

That's a bloody awful final announcement. A few of them were already on the bill and it includes Razorlight. What year is it?!

Either way - there is a lot in the line-up to keep most people happy already, though I'd say if anyone was idling to make a decision based on a final announcement, that wouldn't exactly tip the balance in favour of going!

So is Freetown going to be drawn from the existing line-up?

4pm, won't let me post the link but it's in the ticket info section of their website

Nah their announcement says they're still playing EP

glennponder

FFS....at least with picture this last year we got the prodigy

thebusher

Koda fkn line.

Anyway as I mentioned a few pages back, a friends young fella has a band called The Wha and they are in this announcement. Just signed a record deal and will be playing salty dog.

All the indie teenage kickers should really like them.

Fkn Koda fkn line! Honestly:-(

But it's already sold out, people have made their choices already

showpony1

Toucan is good.

the rest i won't bother with, hopefully Kodaline clashes with something else i want to see.

Sure - but I was talking about someone who might have a ticket, not be too pushed about the line-up and who was waiting to see if the last announcement was worth checking out.

They might opt to throw the tickets on Toutless now, knowing that Kodaline and Razorlight was the big reveal at the end.

Not really. Just cos you have a ticket, doesn't mean you will go. I know someone who is going pending a decent shout on the weather comes the Thursday.

The lineup is not all that impressive this year. Could pretty much take it or leave it myself except there are a handful of acts that I have not seen before and want to see.

So do we surmise Freetown is just local djs etc and people already on the line up

I hope not! Surely there is something more up their sleeve??
