Yes, that's the line-up at the beginning
Most years (round about this time in August) some wise folks in the know let us know which headliner is on Frid/ Sat / Sunday etc
Usually through the powers of deduction after looking at the other festivals taking place in Europe the same weekend
Anyone?

You're better off just waiting for the actual timing to be announced officially, it's probably only two and a bit weeks away.

Each year I get the same answer

Just curious is all-
BITD Bands' Myspace pages used to be great for this sort of kind of thing back in 2006-2009!!!
(the only time it was ever more 'useful' than Twitter/ Facebook in my experience!!)

Just go back to the start of the thread.

Festival #6 in Portmerion is usually a good primer
Anyone?

I wasn't being cheeky, the thread has just been covering this for the past 4/6 weeks so by process of elimination many of the days for acts have been identified. But not yet fully clear. Looks like Chemical Bros for Fri, Noel G for Sat & LCD for Sun but don't hold me to that.

To be fair, if you go over the last ten pages or so you will get what the general (lack of) consensus on this issue is .. not being smart, but that is about the size of it.

Just to confirm with veteran campervanners - awnings have always been "outlawed", but you've usually put them up anyway? Just making sure as I'm sure I've seen them in previous years, but this is the first year I've got my own awning/toilet/shower room with me. I could survive without but would rather not!

Hey all- any ideas who is headlining/ playing each day yet?
You folks on here have been pretty good at calling this each year so far

Friday: Chemical Brothers
Saturday: Noel Gallagher
Sunday: Lana del Rey and New Order

all taken from their websites/only days they can play.

no day is known for LCD Soundsystem, but they're presumably on the Saturday after NG.

I have done for the past few years and have had no issues yet

I have done the campervan for 3 years (not sure if I am a veteran) and yes, that rule has been there all along. Its never been enforced... including the tent thing

I'd definitely prefer Noely G after LCD.

hope noely G plays mostly Oasis tunes and not just one or two encores

OhHiMark · 10-08-2016 04:29PM

Hope I don't hear anyone say Noely G for the weekend. Or hear any Oasis songs.
