Sorry Nick , I should have said that was also an era of no screens so far more movement on the field as people ‘went down the front’ for an act they wanted to see……sound tower got bigger , more stalls, bigger bar etc etc

This is old f**t stuff but the fest changed when it went to 3 days, partly for economic reasons. Yes I know it’s 20 yrs ago but does 6500 people mean going back to a pre 2003 ethos and will there be an audience for it.
2000 was the first 3-dayer... |

Can't remember when the last sell out was - I think there have only been 2 or 3 haven't there?
And they've never sold out completely (as in every ticket for every day), have they? Just single days (usually Saturday) thanks to walk-up encouraged by good weather and a particularly popular act? |

Not sure - I thought there had been sell outs before, particularly anniversary ones like '92 or '97, and then one in more recent years when people were definitely told not to travel without a ticket... No firm recollection though. |

David, I remember scrabbling for tickets in a sell out year for my family, YAW sorted us out, must have been somewhere between 2004 & 2014.....not very specific, must have been an anniversary year

I still find it odd that they haven’t announced any acts yet (unless they are still negotiating). Compare and contrast with (say) Wickham who are teasing and revealing their headline acts now, and NFFF (I must go this year) who are already announced.

Likewise, Belladrum. Full details already ‘out there’. Similar pricing to Cropredy. Includes some ‘big’ names both older and newer. Would really like to see some names. |

It was 35 years of Cropredy, but I don't remember that being particularly 'bigged up' that year.

Brasenose fringe looks very good including:
Doonicans, Merry Hell, 3 Daft Monkeys, Dunwells, Spank the Monkey, Sandy Denny Project, Daphne's Flight, Leatherat, Gaz Brookfield, When Rivers Meet, Rusty Shackle, Ranagri, Gaelforce and many others.
Lots of former main stage bands.

That’s a line up.! Still wonder if some of these will do main stage as well. |

Would like to see 3 Daft Monkeys and Daphne's Flight on the main stage again. Also Merry Hell, but it's probably too soon for them to return.
Bands like Spank the Monkey and Leatherat are fine for a pub garden, but shouldn't be anywhere near the main festival stage, imo.
