So im off to this in the (very) early hours of tomorrow morning. So early in fact id usually still be awake when ill be getting up to get the bus to stansted.
Anyone else going?
Tips for who to see?
Im definately going to see Siouxsie, and hope she does some Banshees stuff, but beyond that ive not been too bothered. Any reccomendations?

General tips (I went in 06)
Getting there early means you'll be in the Bonnet campsite - this is good. Whilst it's the furtherest from the arena, it's closer to the town and the beach is a lot friendlier than the one next to the arena. It also has tree cover unlike the one next to the train station.
There is a burger shop on the main strip called Pengin's or something - it's ace.
Go to the water park!
Magicool is your friend
LITRES OF BEER!
In Bonnet, there is an all night bar where you can also buy pizzas.
Don't shop at Lidl, go to the nice supermarket
Expect all restaurant owners to be unbelievably rude to you.
Don't waste days at the beach - stay up all night and sleep through the day.
After the bands finish go to the POP tent - dancing at a gigantic generic indie disco until 9am FTW
I'm so jealous
excellent

cheers for all the advice, ive written some of it down.

make sure you see my bloody valentine!!
they were amazing at the roundhouse.
ill see what i can do
siouxsie is there though!!
Don't expect the beach
to be next to the 'arena' like Lucius reckons! It's a good 20 minute walk in fucking hot sun, so for gods sake wear a hat! Try not to eat on the seafront, tourist crap. Better in the town, but some waiters will be rude- can't say I blame them with some of the muppets they have to put up with! I went in 006 and loved it, although I would never camp again there, just cos it's so bloody hot.
last year
me and friends rarely went to the beach. its missions, and far too hot to be walking around too much.
