does anyone know when the line-up is going to be announced? I have a ticket already as I had a thoroughly enjoyable time last year. I know alot of people complained about queues/sound/toilets last year but I watched three excellent bands and spent alot of the day drinking wine under the trees with my pals. Well worth £20 I'd say.

mega miffle
2000 replies by tea time. Most involving comments about a lack of hummous.
depending on the lineup
i might go, last year electrelane were worth the £25 alone. hopefully they'll learn by their mistakes.
queue?
cue?
Electrelane were fckn ace last year
the sound in that tent wasn't too bad. Sound on the main stage was gaash though.
I'd be willing to give it another chance
if the line-up's remotely tempting. Hopefully they'll sort the sound on the Main Stage...
toilet + Bar problems
They must have underestimated the no of people going, god knows how seeing as it was all tickets. Good lineup last year although the sound at the stage battles played was bad.
Apparently
They're working hard to make sure last years "teething problems" aren't repeated and they'll be announcing the line up at the end of this month, beginning of April.
Teething problems?
A music festival where you can neither hear the music nor get a beer has more than teething problems. If the weather hadn't been so good there would have been riots. I was gutted at how last year turned out and less than impressed with how unapologetic the organisers were. Will take some convincing this year.
yeh but
the backstage was really good! you know! the backstage was well good.
Have already got tickets
We were tempted by the £20 offer. Even if it's only a couple of good bands, that should make it worth it (electrelane WERE rather special).
I can't imagine they'll mess up in the same way as last time but, even if they do, i'd sort of want to be there to see it.
I'll probably go
Give it one last chance, like a battered housewife
i might as well
it's opposite my house
^
skins party afterwards
Electrelane were awesome
Id never been that into them before then, and am glad i managed to see them live now, before they split up.
They have promised to improve toilets, bar staff and the sound, so lets hope they stand by their word.
why the fuck didn't i watch electrelane?
i don't know why the fuck i didn't watch electrelane.
same here
:(
to the east has since become one of my favourite tunes.
because they were 'meh'?
that's probably why.
is that your opinion of them in general?
or were they just meh at field day?
they were amazing
at field day and the crowd were loving it
:'(
:'(
the crowd were so appreciative
that the band actually looked really shocked by the response actually!
it was really packed
the reason i didn't go in
I was there
wow, I feel so elite
It was nice actually, a nice happy atmosphere in the tent
You live near us now? Or it's not in Viccie Park this year?
line-up announced....
.....in a couple of weeks.
It was a great day last year
Genuinely no complaints, if I was in the country I'd be there again in a flash.
of Montreal
are playing, as far as I know. GRAHAM, IS THAT RIGHT?
i'll probably go then
if they're not on the main stage
How will they not be on mainstage?
I will probs go, the concept still sounds grand to me
true
but i hope not. main stage sound was atrocious last time. not just quiet but really badly mixed. liars weren't on main stage last time...
of Montreal are much bigger then Liars
I will go to see them if they are playing here and wont care if they sound gash as I seeing them at ATP weee!
If the line up is as good as last year I will just assume they learnt to put in toilets and go & sneak in a hip flask or 2.
last year was just about worth getting to london for.
they sent out apology emails about the lack of facilities. i remember there being one toilet.
the line-up
is really good - at least as good as last year. Not that hard to guess the acts, just looks at what EYOE have put on in the last year, plus other stuff. From everything I hear they're sorting out the bar/toilet problem; if they sort it, then there will be an amazing day out going on.
