There's a lovely laid out schedule in the welcome pack / chalet (I forget which)

And yes, times were leaked last year, but not by much!

They're usually pretty well organised in terms of making sure 100% of peeps don't try and get into one arena. It means you might get a couple of clashes, but largely you'll get to see all that you want.

Alternatively you could make the mistake of going to see FSOL, fully expecting them to play danceable music at midnight on the Saturday, and curse yourself for missing every other artist that wasn't a pair of self indulgent, blocky streaming, black and white picture, guitar playing (and this is from a Pixies fan) c*nts :)

FSOL were one of my highlights last year. I didn't need to dance at midnight on Saturday.

I stayed for all of FSOL. Though it got a bit boring after a while.
I listen to them regularly, but I couldn't help think I was missing out on some madness elsewhere.
Like shit and strawberry shortcake.

FSOL are wicked. Just not live.

The Bloc performance was way better than Bestival 2009 though....

They came on for 10 minutes, apologised a lot for the technical problems (the 1994 era ISDN technology playing up I guess), played Papua New Guinea and a couple of other tunes then buggered off.

Not bad for a days work.
