The LINC Magazine // The LINC is the definitive resource for all young people in Wigan Borough. Through our magazine, website, Twitter feed, and all the other places you'll find us, we make sure that if there's something worth knowing about in the borough, you know about it!

Right folks, the big day is here at last, and Haigh Fest 2010 kicks off at Haigh Country Park in just a few hours time! Excited? Of course we are!
Before we head down to the field, there's just a couple of last minute things to share with you.
Our live coverage
If you can't make it today, don't worry, you don't need to miss out on all the action! The LINC have got you covered in the form of our live report via Twitter and this 'ere Posterous blog. We'll be reporting live all day with quotes from the bands, pictures, updates of who's on stage and anything else that's happening at Haigh Fest 2010.
We'll also be recording stuff for the last in our series of Haigh Fest podcasts
Send us your comments, pics and vids!
If you're on Twitter, why not send us a tweet with your comments about the day, we'll be sure to retweet as many as we can!
You can also use the interactive line-up we posted last night to add your comments, pics and videos for your favourite bands. All you need to do is register for a free account with Dipity (which takes about 30 seconds!) and add away.
Who's playing?
If you're still not sure who's playing, or what time your favourite band take to the stage, the official Haigh Fest website has got the full running order (plus lots of other cool stuff!)

Help! I'm at the hall but I can't see the stage!
Folks, Haigh Fest has moved to a different area of the park this year. If you're coming by car, you should have no problem spotting it.
If you're walking up through the plantations as we know a lot of people do, you'll need to walk up to the hall, head round the back and up the hill towards the car park. It's well sign posted and you can't miss the enourmous stage!
Still, here's a map:

Can I bring my own alcohol?
Sorry folks, as with every year, you can't bring your own alcohol to the festival, though if you're over 18 you can buy it when you get there. If you're under 18, you won't be allowed alcohol at all. This is to discourage underage drinking and keep the festival as an event for everyone.
Anything else? Give us a shout on Twitter and we'll do our best to answer any questions as best we can.
So, Haigh Fest is upon us again, taking place tomorrow, Sunday July 4th at Haigh Country Park. The LINC team are, of course,very excited, mostly because it's going to be an awesome day, but partly because we get to play with one of our favourite tools, Dipity.
The interactive line-up below lists all the bands that are set to play Haigh Fest 2010. If you want to add your own thoughts, comments and pictures to this, you're more than welcome. Just register for an account with Dipity (it's free, and takes all twenty seconds!) and post away. Enjoy!
