Today is also a very significant day, 50 years ago half a million hippies gathered in a farm in New York for Woodstock.

There are some great vids on YouTube of the performances.

Not much for me im afraid as i expected, academic definatly not my thing
Mother DJ's and Arveene perhaps but i think il be wandering around freetown at that time by the looks of things

Standard enough Jerry Fish offering, will end up there a few times over the weekend.

sellorex · 15-08-2019 12:54PM

When you do think we will get a day by day breakdown & set times? I have to head away on the Sunday morning but Ill be back on Sunday at around 9. I Really want to catch Roisin Murphy (playing sunday) and hoping that shes on past 9 O' clock. Staring to get the jitters that Ill miss her

Very loud guests? Gotta be Touts

Can't see them only playing Salty Dog.

Other possibilities, Fangclub and Otherkin.

Otherkin already confirmed two shows so unlikely its them, my guess TMC

Looks like i am adding sydthebeat to my list. Though depending on clashes may give F&W a miss as have seen a few times before (always a great show though aaaaagh it has started already)

bennyob · 15-08-2019 01:26PM

Catch some crow black chicken if you can. They are a savage rock and roll/blues band. I've seen them a few times and never disappoint.

€35 to use the jacks, WTF

No disrespect to Touts, but why would they be a special guest?

LowOdour · 15-08-2019 01:39PM

Will definitely try and catch The Pale...missed them last year. Other that them and maybe Frank & Walters, will probably give JFish a pass this year

Maybe they're also on a larger stage as well as Salty Dog and Jerry's gaff? I was thinking of the loud rather than special guest part tbh

I used these last year. It's nice to be able to spruce up with hair tools after a shower.

Also nice to sit on a loo with a clean dry seat, floor, and walls! Worth it imo

Couldn't justify it - dry shampoo in Lidl for 1.50. Packet of wipes. Jobs a good 'un

IMHO
Snowflake stuff!

Was a time that going to a festival meant a bit of roughing it. Now it's partly about getting the comforts of home and paying through the nose for the "pleasure".

disclaimer: I am as guilty as the next person, with me caravan's fridge, toilet and shower.

Last time i saw them, they were booked for a Microsoft Windows 95 launch party event in the pod.

The Frank and Walters were great at Kaleidoscope

dansan7 · 15-08-2019 02:14PM

Anyone have any trouble ever using Viagogo?
Other than being absolutely shafted on fees.

Does that include paying way over the odds for a ticket essentially legitimizing touting?

Also, coming home on the monday evening wrecked, stinking, occasionally covered in mud, foot sores, neck cramps etc. Throw everything in a corner, shave, long hot shower then watch tv in bathrobe while chinese food is being delivered. Draw a line under a perfect weekend. This doesnt quite have the same effect if youve been having vaguely uncomfortable showers at a high price all weekend

I've bought a wristband for the Loowatt crappers in the Eco site. All about a comfy seat in the morning as part of the morning ablutions. Wouldn't be bothered with the whole showering nonsense. Queuing for those eats in to valuable can time.

Shower queues for men are usually only 5-10 mins. Double that for the women’s queues. I usually made it from my tent and back in under 40 mins. Makes a big difference to the day.

Just a heads up, I've added the second wave of acts to Upsetlist (those have have data on setlist.fm at least).

That is brilliant, thanks for that, I had started doing something similar myself and just found this.
