For the tent campsites this was the policy already, wasn't it? If not, I'm a gullible bastard for only using my trangia at BBQ pits all these years. :c

https://bloodstock.seetickets.com/event/bloodstock/catton-park/2013592#op3 Edit: incorrectly suggested flat rate for parking, it's actually £18.25 for weekend parking, or £12.25 for single day parking so long as you buy in advance . If you buy on the day, weekend parking will be £20, day parking wil...

Accuweather and BBC now predicting 28-32℃. Might have to bring a sun hat. Do they make any with ram skulls?

Yeah, it's pretty standard for Bloodstock to wait until the last minute to post band times. The more cynical of us believe it's a ploy to sell more lanyards onsite, especially since the app is pretty much useless onsite due to Catton Hall apparently being a deadspot for phone signal. Here's hoping t...

Accuweather and BBC are predicting between 22 and 25℃, which seems much more likely (and bearable!).

Hope they do this (for bloodstock at least). I need a new band (tiny kitten claws ruin mine on a regular basis these days), so that'd have me covered. Otherwise I'll be looking for a pink flower garland to wear on-site.

Still getting the BGC, just from Edinburgh instead. Getting the 2am Ember bus to Edinburgh, which drops you off right where the BGC picks up from.

No worries, happy to help. :) Didn't notice you were a fellow Dundonian! Aye, good to see more of us on the forum. :yes: There was about 10 of us who got the Big Green Coach from Dundee last year (sadly they're not putting that bus on again this year). Probably a few others who drive/get the train.

Going by previous years, running times are unlikely to be announced until the week of the festival.

Not substantially. There's a dedicated "Luxury camping" area this year, but I dunno if that's so much a 'new' thing, rather than putting a label on something that already existed (I've never camped VIP so couldn't tell you).

I'm hoping for somebody vaguely melodic or folky. Expectations are low though.
