I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread among all the crap, so will start a new one.
Am I the only person who is seriously pissed off with the projected running order? Not only does it start an hour later this year and finish 15 mins early (which might not be their fault if the neighbours have been complaining, but loses us 2 bands per day from the main stages) BUT the number of bands on the party stage has been reduced considerably. Last year there were 15 bands on the Party stage each day; this year it is SEVEN. I'm aware some crap has been talked about reducing the interference from bands on the main stages, but it is absolute nonsense. Which would you rather have: the inconvenience of a bit of interference or NO BAND AT ALL?? I think the answer should be obvious to all! Besides which, the True Metal Stage was last year the one which was mainly interfering with the Party stage , so not using the Party stage when the Black is in use seems to me ike an excuse to cut costs and rip us off.
