Although Dr John, Buddy Guy and Candi Staton are good choices,but Imelda May again!! I know the organiser is her manager but give us a break!
I'm going to Glastonbury this year and was wondering how I could afford both, that's saved me the bother.

Last year's dreadful bill went for a younger crowd and resulted in them selling only 50% as many tickets as the year before. So this year they've gone for acts which would be more at home on a Saga cruise.

I've been to Cornbury twice before but not this year.

having seen the headline on this thread, to see the bill. It's actually not that bad, and certainly better than last year. The thing is, Cornbury is never going to be edgy and won't attract the really top names because there's so much competition. In that sense, getting Paul Simon two years ago was a great result for the organisers. You can keep Imelda May, but give me Dr. John, Candi, Jackson, Buddy, Squeeze, The Feeling and David Gray any day over the line-up at Latitude.
Having said all that, I will be out of the country so won't be able to go.

There are ways to get your message across...

And then there is this from the Cornbury website.

PICNICS/ALCOHOL IN THE ARENA

Cornbury has always had a policy which states no picnics/alcohol etc in the main arena - but we’ve been pretty relaxed about it in the past and each year we see people sailing through the gates with their cooler boxes and picnics to feed the five thousand! Sorry folks, but this year we are really clamping down - absolutely NO picnics or alcohol to be brought into the arena. In fact, only 500ml plastic bottles containing water or soft drinks will be allowed in.

Our stewards and security have been instructed to stop anything resembling a cooler box, picnic basket, even bag of food/drink into the arena - PLEASE do not attempt to get into the arena with these things. You will be asked to dispose of your picnics at the gate, or return them to your car - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

There will be a fantastic range of food and drinks on offer in the arena so you won’t go hungry or thirsty! We’re not totally insensitive - baby food will be allowed into the arena, just please make sure it is in plastic containers

you could bring your own food two years ago otherwise I would have bought a hamper. To be fair they are only doing what every single other festival do. Except most wouldn't even let you in with the 500ml bottle.

"we're not totally insensitive" = we're not breadhead c**ts, dude.

Two festivals this year chaps?

The Feeling's Alp bash.

OK. I'm going skiing. And The Feeling's thing is going on whilst I'm there.

I'm sure it will be terribly jolly and middle-class.
