Hopefully I will actually qualify as a 'local resident' FINALLY seeing as it's not too far from me!

Snow Patrol are a good start to the line-up, it will look bad if this turns out to be better than the festivals that expect people to pay to go!
Good luck with getting tickets Ryan.

Plus all the loony fans will register for tickets just to see her, and won't care about the other acts on before her... that's what happened with Madge last year. Snow Patrol to headline Sunday I'd guess? If the Britney rumour isn't true then The Killers would be great for Saturday.  |

Will anyone on here be trying to get tickets then? I'm pleased that Radio 1 haven't booked a diva-type act again, like Madonna last year, as she took over and the other acts seemed like no more than a warm-up for her!
Saturday looks the better day IMO, but both days have good and weak points, depending on your taste of course. Main stage Sunday looks very weak to me - but it's free, and probably no worse than most festivals this year!!
