Of course there are a few clashes, but what festival would be complete without the timetable clash anguish? There is plenty of time in between these must see bands to have a look at some you’ve never heard of, or pop over to one of the busking points and see some of the newest talent on the streets. Whatever you do, rest assured you’ll go home gorged on new music, and inspired with the knowledge that people are still making awesome music, even if you don’t hear it on commercial radio all that often.
