Elton John is an epic act, and a great starter. The crowds will love it!
Elvis Costello, one of those great unknowns (not everybody knows him, but they would all know his music!) Fantastic in every way.
Friday, as usual is the Classical act. Good background music for those who don't like Classical, the elderly people will love it! (Go on...bite ;-) )
Saturday: Can't wait! Burly Chassis is still alive and kicking, so well worth a punt...
Sunday: Was planning on staying, but will leave on Sunday morning to secure moorings as far away as possible....Will Young is poor quality manufactured shite... :-(
All IMHO of course, the OAP's may beg to differ

When will you find out if there will be any mooring on the booms?

Have rather foolishly paid for a pontoon berth for Thursday/Friday/Saturday. I've got tickets for each evening but may well pass some or all of them on to someone else.
I'm not sure what the logistics of getting to and form the boat during the day are, if we leave it on the pontoon.
Anybody know?

Pontoons are outside the enclosure aren't they? so access should be no problem.

I think there are some inside the enclosure, but the towpath is open all day until 6pm, so again no problem with access at any time. Black tie after 6pm though!

How do you book a pontoon berth for the Festival ? is it through the official festival event organisation or a third party ?

Through the official festival booking site

If you have a berth in the enclosure everybody on board must have a ticket, so if you give yours away, you will be mooring in contravention of your mooring agreement.
You may access your berth (including non ticket holders) until 1730.

Regatta booms to stay in for Festival, according to front page of today's Henley Standard.

That`s great news, would not be the same without them, Will have to wait and see if they will be charging boats to moor on them

Maximum two out this year! It's going to be pretty busy with those normally third out continuing round and round all evening. Have they really made it any safer? I think not.

Wonder if that will just apply to boats staying overnight? On the evening there can be 4 or 5 boats out which all clear off after the fireworks

Or you could park in a no mooring area and make sure your boat is big enough to cover the sign

Better get a bigger boat then!

I do believe it is all the time and the EA will have their work cut out to enforce it.
