  1. Not the same organisers, my message was sunshine and mello are same organisers and comparing them to tribe (Wychwood) which is far more rounded festival and not just music and beer, which the two tend to be. But SC certainly have a much stronger social media presence all year round

  2. Guess we should be some headliners and band release very soon, think Wychwood does lose out on early bird ticket sales but not drip feeding band announcements through the autumn. Both Mello and Sunshine (same organisers) have a band signed for next year at the time of each festival and then regular social media releases keeping the event bubbling along.

  3. I love Wychwood and whilst it was lacking musically this year, It was still great, the dance tent worked well.

    We did miss a reef, wonder stuff, from the jam etc. mid day programme but it made us go and check out the other tents and who knows if we have seen the next wolf alice or rag and bone man  !?

    We did hear from someone on site that losing One if there benefactors, Dave, had an effect and means they really have to make money this year since they have always lost money, hence the righting of band budget and smaller tent venues. Was told the stranglers cost £36k !!! But Toyah loved it last year so much she did it for £800 expenses this year. It’s got to be hard finding the right bands for the right money. 

     

  4. Grumpyhack sums it up ! And if you only got crap to say keep it to yourself. Good luck to Watchet and all the other festivals but for us as a family Wychwood ticks all the boxes and then sum. 

    Best family weekend of the year. Thanks to everyone who work so hard to put it together they deserve a pat on th back not a muppet just trying to make noise and sound clever. 

     

  5. Happy days and Wychwood is a level above most of the smaller festivals, worth every penny, in my opinion ! 

    You cant compare it with the likes of Mello etc. Strong regular following if it wasn’t good value you wouldn’t see the same faces year in year out, that people always come back says everything

  6. Gonna try a couple of others this year, Mello the week before and Sunshine over August bank holiday, both so much cheaper since kids are free under twelve ! And line ups as strong if not a little more middle of road. Love Wychwood but time to see how it compares, so much more choice in small festivals these days

  7. Would expected to have heard something about headliners by now, their missing out on Christmas gift market, which as a ticket for life worry’s me a little, anyone heard anything so we know if 2018 is 100% on ? 2017 did seem a little of a backward step, love Wychwood and just any to know it will be there next year 

  8. Spot on grumpy hack, as usual excellent weekend but nothing outstanding. Cabbage were good and bassist was in old dlr skyscraper t shirt, that took me back.

     

    did seem a bit quieter, except for the Sunday evening where more people than ever stayed for levellers. 

     

    Stalls and other stuff was a bit thin, it does make you worry about it's longevity just hope Graham and team can keep it up, it's our favourite weekend of year. Love the location love the music love the people.
