5,000 people will be there, as well as a motley crew of local peacocks and parrots. Adult weekend tickets, inclusive of camping, cost £105 as they do for those aged 13-16, though youngers have to be accompanied by adults. 12 and under = £15.

Puberty costs – tickets here. Email Rough Trade for details of a special Rough Trade package, including ticket, coach travel from Rough Trade East, in-coach entertainment, programme, CD et cetera…

^ This.

It's only about 30 minutes from me, but this being Bournemouth everyone loves funky house and that's pretty much it!

Amazing festival.

And not wanting to sound greedy but, just the one act in the annoucement?

This sounds like one hell of a line-up

But I don't think I can afford it. Hope Mountain Goats play a show in London though...
