Possibly also true, but I think its best not to think too deeply about these things. Bottom line is its not to be encouraged

This has probably been asked to death but how does the walk from the car park to say, the Moonage Daydream campsite, compare to the walk to Joplin at EP??

Trying to work out if a 2 trip strategy might work rather than lugging everything in one go.

Always brought it in one go at EP as it would take ages for the 2nd trip.

If you managed everything in one trip at EP then this will be a breeze! Two trips though might make things easier, I assume you don’t have to queue up twice.

I've tried with Father John Misty. I really have. He's got some clever lyrics. It's all the same song though, isn't it?

Hes a dry old ****e alright. One of the few definite "no"'s on the lineup for me.

Could never get in to him at all, then got dragged along to see him at Electric Picnic a few years ago and was blown away. Went back then to listen to him when I got home with this new appreciation and was disappointed.
But looking forward to seeing him live again.

Loved his first two albums but then got totally bored of him. The other albums are far too Elton John for my liking

This for me too.

Love his first album. Quite bored by the rest. He's worth a look live though.

I would be of the opposite opinion here. The songwriting on albums 3 and 4 is far superior to the first two.

Cheers Bodhrandude!

I remember reading that review last year, but had another scan through as it's a good reminder of a cracking weekend....and also a whet of the appetite for what's to come!

This is John Reynold’s latest festival production and man it does take me back to some of these early Picnic years of 2005, 2007 and 2008, especially with the Arcadia Afterburner in tow.

Aww

The map may change this year due to logistical issues last time out but (providing you get into the parking beside the main campsite) the walk is only about 5/10 minutes. The attached aerial shot shows just how close it is.

The only tip is to make sure you bring ALL your booze in on the first entry, as you want be allowed to bring any in after that!

With it being a little bigger this year, my guess is that the general camping will be extended into what was the main car park last year. It really looked ideal for it, was the same field so would only have to put the fence in a different place. There were still fields outside of it for parking.

That would make sense alright. Looks like a huge field on the other side of the road that could be the car park.

Could do with extending the Boutique/family/campervan area as well. Felt a bit cramped last year in Tangerine Fields, and I know Greenspurs mentioned the family camping being the same. The car park for that area was massive, so surely some wiggle room on swapping parking space for camping space?

Fab picture of site, just wondering which areas were the family camping and parking?

They're a seperate area at the other side of the Festival site. I'll try and get a picture of it.

The family/boutique/campervan area is to the left in this aerial shot (the other side of the lake from the house). Parking is beside it but not seen in the picture.

I've also included last year's site map for reference.

Hi all, new user here, does anyone know when those who have applied to volunteer at ATN will hear anything?

Thanks a mil, great to have a feel for how far things are apart, hoping we wont have to make too many trips back to car for bits with kids in tow. Getting so exciting now, cant wait for everything to be released

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me why the don't allow gas in campervans ? Do they really enforce this ?
Thanks

Only one slab per person so that wouldn't be too difficult. Is that enforced though? I'll have the caravan full.

They checked it last year. Or, at least, they checked the spot where the gas should be. They didn't check where I'd stashed it in my roofbox.
