For anyone who isn't familiar with the set up for the Carling Weekend, it consists of 6 stages. The Main Stage, Radio One/NME stage, The Lock-up, Dance Stage, Carling Stage & the Comedy Stage. Obviously, the largest area is given to the main stage but as far as the acts performing go, it's very talent is equally spread over each stage.
