Do we have to wait until we arrive or will they be posted here in advance, 'cause that would be swell.

yo
we never publish set times in advance because we often have to swap things around right up until the mark
and it takes the fun out of it...they remain secret until Friday night when you receive your programme!

Gonna be a bit tricky working out who we can see this year, what with 6 stages....

Also, just wondering, does each arena have a maximum capacity?

That's not totally accurate...
As on the new flyer, here is the current configuration of stages
Centre:BLOC - main stage
Red:BLOC - 'other' stage (not much smaller than the main stage)
Jak:BLOC - the after hours stage, runs til 10am
Tec:BLOC - back due to popular demmand
Un:BLOC - strictly no electronic music
The actual distribution of acts among these stages is still not finalised, the draft schedule is looking sweet though.

The Tec-bloc stays! Woop
I do love receiving those lineup things when checking in and planning your weekend around who's playing where. This is of course when sober. When it comes down to it i'm usually stuck on a 4/4 stomp in the tec bloc with a brain that is about to explode

I'll third that on the Tec:Bloc, so I guess the Bass:Bloc and Smash:Bloc lost their jobs along with the other Pontin's staff in Hemsby...
