Is it meant to be very hot that day??????

Yeah, if it was 1992 maybe.

they could realy do with announcing more acts for that day

No one wants to go to work on Tuesday with 3 days of festival on them. I'd have thought they'd be better getting a permit to go late on the Friday and maybe start at 6pm and go with a half days worth of acts.

Nah, they're probably making the point that people are more likely to consume stimulants, therefore increasing the desire to consume water as apposed to alcohol.

Nonsense. People who take stimulants at festivals like Forbidden Fruit drink alcohol too.

Exactly.

Most of the people I know that partake in ""Stimulants"" do so while hammered.

i'd say the bars won't be too busy on the Monday!
was considering booking the Tuesday off work but I don't think I'll be going too mad on the Monday with the current lineup...

It's simple: more acts would be available or free on the Monday than the preceding Friday.

Went to this last year on the Sunday and all my must-sees like Caribou, Aphex Twin etc. were on the main stage.

The depth of this year's bill has me both very excited and somewhat worried than some of the acts I most want to see will clash - I think there's very little chance they'll all be on the main stage this year...

It'll be a few weeks yet before the promoters put me out of misery on this front - but as I eagerly anticipate the bank holiday weekend, the masochist in me can't help but consider the nightmare clashes that could happen...

My nightmare clashes:

Saturday: The Field / Actress / Holy ****
Sunday: New Order / Modeselektor / Atlas Sound
Monday: Wilco / Field Music

Any thoughts/comments on...
- likely stage plans/arrangements at the festival?
- my nightmare clashes?
- your own nightmare clashes?
