Going to weekend 2 but flying from JFK to SFO on Thursday, April 11th. Three nights in SF, two more in a cabin at Yosemite, then down to LA to stay with a friend for a couple of nights before heading...

Does anyone know if the set times and stages tend to differ from weekend one to weekend two? I'm going to weekend two so when the times for weekend one come out can I take it that they will be pretty...

Cheers for that. That's fucking rubbish.

So this has probably already been asked but whatever. Does anyone know when the set times will be announced and we can all get planning who we're going to see and moaning about who we can't?

I'm listening to Late Night way too much lately. Their new album is fucking brilliant. They better not clash with either the Stone Roses or Purity Ring.

Genuinely LOLd.

Saw her at the Bowery Ballroom back in 2007 I think it was. Right after she'd been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. I'd never heard about her before and a mate had a spare so I said I'd tag...

Purity Ring
Purity Ring
Purity Ring

Can't remember the last time I loved an album as much as I love Shrines. Her voice is other worldly.

Honorable mentions to Alt-J and Polica.

In no particular order of preference,

Saturday: Phoenix, The XX, The Postal Service, Sigur Ros, New Order, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Two Door Cinema Club, Yeasayer, Violent Femmes, Spiritualized,...

INORIIT?!

I'm Irish rather than British but have lived in Salford for years and will be traveling from NYC for this with my missus. We're both popping our Coacherries.

Without wanting to sound presumptuous but I second the question about the drugs. Is it like at raves back in the day back home where there are literally pills changing hands everywhere and it's just...

Lulz.

Noticed you're coming from Manc, Podge. Red or blue?

I live in America.

This post made me genuinely LOL. Well done. I'm Irish and not English by the way but the stereotype still clearly fits just fine. Yes I plan on drinking a lot and doing whatever else I can get my...

You're actually right. I shouldn't have bothered.

Thank you all for your kind and helpful words. I don't think I've ever seen such a polite bunch on an internet message board before.

In all seriousness though after reading what many have said I...

Because it would give me a buzz like no other to see one of the lads see it and maybe even acknowledge it. Because it's something I've dreamed about since I was a teenager but never thought would be...

I see what you did there Scouseface.

If I get close enough, and I plan to, they will see it. It's a big red, white, and black flag. It will be impossible to miss from the stage. Why do you care so much?

He's impatient and arrogant and seems easily led by his agent. There will come a time when he sees his talents at a place like Barca or Madrid and demand a transfer. It might not be for a while but...

You do that.

You'll forgive me if I don't quake at the thought of being donkey punched by someone who is 5'2". I'm joking of course. Again I'm not planning on obstructing anyone's view.

Yeah he's doing well for you. Don't worry though with his attitude he'll end up fucking you guys too eventually. He's the next Balotelli.

Again, I'm 5'7" and the flag is 10' wide. There's no way I could lift it high enough to obstruct anybody's view. How many times do I have to say I have no intention of blocking the view of anyone...

Not much point of that when the Roses are Mancs and United fans.

It's more wide than it is high. I've been very clear that the last thing I would think of doing is to obstruct the view of anyone else.

Again, it isn't a national flag. Three members of the band, Ian and Mani in particular, are huge Manchester United fans and it's a tradition for United fans to bring their flags to their gigs. They...

It's not a national flag I'd be bringing. It would be a specific flag for the Stone Roses set and it would not be on a pole.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my OP but I am not talking about bringing a flag in on a pole that would obstruct peoples view. I've been to festivals on numerous continents and completely agree that there's...

I noticed while looking through dos and don'ts that flags are prohibited. Is this more about flags on poles that would obstruct peoples views or are flags that you would hold up or wrap around you...

I know I will.

As an aside does anyone know whether I'll be allowed to bring my MUFC flag in?

I'm making the trip from NYC specifically for this. I never thought I'd get to see the Roses play live in my life and I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting for April. They may well end up playing a gig...
