AC/DC, RATM, Deftones, Aerosmith, Billy Idol, Motorhead and much more... 'tis going to ROOOOOCK!! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Looking forward to it, though looks like it's going to be a proper mudfest! 5 days of heavy rain in the leadup ๐Ÿ˜ฏ . Not getting there till Friday morning, so will probably find ourselves camping in a shite area... ๐Ÿ™ unless someone off here is going tomorrow and could bag us some space? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Me, me!! And OH, LoulouK.

That's if there's any bands left, between musician mortality and hospitalisations. Latest news is RATT have pulled out.

I'm really there for the big headliners TBH... though it'll be cool to see some new bands I'm sure!

When are you heading there? Don't suppose there's any chance of snagging some space for a 3 man tent? Can offer bourbon by way of thanks? 8)

We're heading down tomorrow, RIP-bound. Car's gonna be pretty rammed I expect, but it's not out of the question. Where are you?

We're heading up by train on Friday (due to work ๐Ÿ™ ), coming from London. Just a bit worried that we won't be able to get a decent (ie not boggy or prone to flooding!) campsite, so was hoping someone might be able to cheekily claim some space for us (though I know it's not always possible to stop it being taken if a tent isn't already on it!)...

Ah, we're oop north anyway so it's probably a non-starter then. Sorry dude.

Myself and a mate going - we'll be in family camping tho'. Tbh I think it'd be difficult to bag extra space without having a couple of tents to spread round and soak up the slack - any smidgen left and there'll be a tent there before yer know it.

Humph - I was kinda hoping to see Ratt, having merrily ignored 'em for years

Must admit, the only time I've been in recent years, some of the smaller stages were probably the more interesting bits..well, certainly when Iron Midden were on ๐Ÿ˜‰

Weather's looking ok-ish - showers til friday (tho' it will get boggy), but sat/sun look like they should be dry.
