Fairly pleased about this announcement.

All the packages assume 2 or more people, you can't get single person pre-pitch setups which is why I've never used one. Tent stays the property of the provider.

The three they appear to have retained for the Friday makes me hope for some I like on the Sophie stage to prevent me being bored silly.

Another sign of a probable no festival, The Black Dahlia Murder has pulled out of all European show including BOA. "The Black Dahlia Murder @bdmmetal We regret to inform you about the cancellation of our upcoming European Summer tour. This includes our appearances in The Netherlands, Poland, Ge...
