    I will bring 12 cans of beer, a flask of whiskey and 9 litres of water.

    That's it.

    It's that ****ing vaping stage again. It was a wooden cabin thing last year, all VIP areas and such bull****. And of course, the sound system was overwhelming all of the little B&S stages around it.

    Wish they'd just cluster all that ****e off in some far corner, and then surround it with three layers of toilet cubicles.

    Is it the one that was cocktail cocktail another year? Just outside the body and soul entrance, sat beside where the helter skelter thingy is?

    If it's the vaping one I think it's beside Jerry Fish's stage, the one that drowns out the bands there.

    I saw him in Global Green last year. There was about 30/40 people at him.
    Excellent set, and i'd go see him again.

    I was also at that set, saw him again at Castlepalooza last night and he was unreal. He is playing Electric Picnic on one of the stages in the body & soul area on the Saturday night.

    As mentioned, that's on the other side of Body and Soul. Can't remember if Cocktail Cocktail was here last year, but every year I see some idiotic arrangement of stages that leads me to believe the layout is designed by people who never actually experience music.

    They really ought to have volume restrictions on minor stages and especially on bar soundsystems.

    Sorry if this was asked already but does anyone remember the costs of the cans you could pre order and collect at the campsites?

    Let me take a wild guess

    The Strypes
    Frank and Walters
    The pony club girlies

    Would like to see the Stunning added somewhere, might be too big for Jerry fish though.

    I don't mean to moan but I wish they'd announce the full lineup a little bit sooner, I guess due to the travelling it's maybe more difficult to confirm times with all the acts but a lot of festivals around the same time announced their day/stage splits a good few weeks ago.
