With such an intensely brilliant line-up, it's inevitable that there are going to be clashes at Beacons. However, you can considerably minimise your "oh sh*tting h@ll" moments whilst at the festival by checking out the stage times below, and planning ahead.

Tickets for Beacons are now very close to selling out, so if you're taking the laid back approach to purchasing, we recommend that you get a wriggle on.
