Yep, from Kent, still here! I like the idea of dressing up for this festival, sounds fun! I got early bird tickets for £79 so a bit of a bargain really!

Saw Clean Bandit at Glasto last year and they were good, quite a well known band for such a small event. Hadn't  heard of the other acts but have since listened and am quite enjoying Tom Grennan, Rae Morris, and Sub Focus :)

I'm at the other end, Dartford. 

Yeah, this looked like a festival that had a bit of everything, not just the music. Apart from Reading about 10 years ago, hadn't done a festival until Glasto last year which I loved, so I wanted to find an alternative... Neverworld looks a fraction of the size but hopefully just as entertaining!

We might go cos we also live in Kent (nr. Folkestone) and the kids love Bastille and Clean Bandit and missed out on the latter when their set was curtailed at YNOT last year!

We went to Leefest last year. It's a strange beast. It's more festival than music festival, everyone's in fancy dress, There's various dance stages in the woods. We went really cos Slaves were special guests on the main stage... and we just walked to the barrier 5 mins before they started!

Shame played on the second stage and it's in a tent with a capacity of about 100! So that was quite special in a way.

It's very small. Very relaxed (easy to smuggle beer in). But they let people take dogs which is a big turn off for me.

there's still a few festivals which accept dogs.

Fair enough, not something I've seen before, seems a bit cruel to me with loud noises and big crowds. Maybe that's just my dog though, suppose its hard if you can't get cover for the weekend.

I went last year for the first time and loved it. It had a lovely small, intimate, local festival feel but with a real diverse line up - pop, rock, indie, metal, acoustic, drum n bass, dubstep, garage, house, disco, cabaret, comedy, games, quizzes, kids club... over about 10 stages/tents/areas, which is quite a feat for a 5000 capacity festival!

Lots of dressing up but by no means compulsory if not your thing. I much preferred it to corporate giants such as Latitude, R&L, IOW etc but it's less than an hour away and we got our tickets when they were on earlybird prices so that helps!

It looks really nice. Quite an interesting and varied line up too and I really like the idea of how all the different stages have a different theme, it just looks so imaginative and cool!

Thinking about trying to sandwich this in between Truck and Sziget, but we fly out for Sziget on the 6th and if this ends on the 4th I would probably collapse from exhaustion when I arrive in Budapest so don't know if its manageable. Not too bothered about it being £160- it seems worth that, and it's not too far away to travel for me either.

Also, what sort of themes are the dressing up? Just interested!

I'm off to Boomtown on the 7th so I'm going to take Neverworld fairly easy. Most of the music ends around 1am anyway (it's advertised later than that but they had council issues last year with noise limits - didn't spoil it for me as I'm usually back in my tent by then anyway!) and Sunday the 4th is 'going home day' so it's definitely doable! 

A lot of people moan about the cost, but considering how many acts you get to see, it's a real bargain! Plus it's not like you're at Glastonbury amongst a crowd of 100,000 struggling to see anything, you can get right to the front quite easily. 

The crowd were friendly too - met some lovely people who are all going back this year so I expect we'll all meet up again!

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
