Tickets came through today- Bill Bailey and Might Boosh sealed the deal for me. As the man above says, class festival all round

It will be my first time but I'm really looking forward to it. Bill Baily + Boosh will be spot on. As will Leonard Cohen, Krush, Luke Vibert, Manuva, Flying Lotus, Son Of Dave....

I've been told the atmosphere is amazing there. Is it as 'liberal' as Glade Fest?

more of a family atmos during the day - so many little kids about last year!! But it still gets fairly messy during the evening, and security aren't too heavy-handed (or particularly high profile).

I thought Benga/Caspa/Rusko were odd choices for dubstep acts at BC though - would've thought there are some acts which would suit the vibe more...

Yeah, I thought it was a bit strange myself. Dusk and Blackdown are on the main stage and think the atmosphere will suit what they are doing perfectly. Don't mind the family aspect of it at all. If anything it will keep me in check. I find that 3 days of constant buggery starts to get a bit boring now. Must be showing my age....

Get down to it! Would be good to meet your face. I'll be checking everything out I hope. I know you never get to do everything you want but I'm going to try my best. The comedy looks really good as well. Bill Baily, Russell Howard and ze Boosh
