I'm going. Can't wait either. Are you in the campervan field? There were a fair few Bongos there last year.

My mates will be taking a tent, and I might take a quechua as well.
I'd definitely take an awning of some sort.

The lineup isn't as good (for me) as last year, but there is plenty to be excited about. Really want to see Skunk Anansie, Alice Cooper and The Cult. Will also be making sure I get to see Avenged Sevenfold, SOAD, Thin Lizzie, Puddle of Mudd, Korn, Alterbridge - the list goes on....
Rock Sugar are not to everyone's taste, but they are a good laugh. Not sure they are going to be as good on the main stage as in a tent where they were last year.
Been listening to The Pretty Reckless last week. Didn't rate them before, but I've been converted.
Either way it's gong to be a cracking weekend. .
(And a very drunk one

)

We're driving down as far as Warrington on Thursday evening, and on again Friday morning. Probably get there about 12. As long as we see puddle of mudd we'll be happy.

Think Jaret and erik of Bowling for soup are doing an acoustic set that is well worth a listen. Caught them in Sheffield last year great sound.
