NMA will be playing the sunday night

I played there last year and there was about 1000 people there at most.
The music is great, the food and beer is cheap (around £1.50 can of lager and £4 for a huge hot meal), plus you can camp at no extra cost.
It's at Manchester Rugby Club in Cheadle so there's plenty of facilities for showers etc, plus there's an inside bar where they hold the best aftershow parties every night.
More importantly it is very family orientated so there's plenty of activities for kids and there are NO knobheads that ruin it for everyone.
There are early bird tickets for sale priced at £50 for three days so I'd definitely recommend getting them quick if it takes your fancy. However, even if you miss the early bird tickets I think the full price for a 3 day ticket is £65. Frank's right - it's a not for profit festival. They never increase the ticket prices.
Follow the link for more ticket and lineup info - I'm playing too. Really hope to see some of you guys there!
