That new Mitski album is brilliant, she would make a great headliner I'd say!

Now now... This was a bit of a joke given the set-up of the topic, and cargo shorts generally being considered ugly. I do think it's nice if people make an effort with their dress, as people often do for other special and festive events. It's the altruistic choice as it will give the people around you something nice to look at! Of course no one is under any obligation to wear something they don't like, but surely some gentle encouragement isn't overstepping the mark? Apologies if the pun on the topic title didn't come across.

The Good: Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul; everything on Talking Heads, what a perfect stage; Samia and Angel Olsen at the Garden stage; Open Sesame kebab; vegan gelato; the 'fancy' men's loos around the corner from the Folly; the decorations in the forest; sun on Sunday! The Bad: nothing, really; neither I nor my (female) partner found the longdrop loos much worse than previous years, although more people could use the sawdust The Ugly: too many cargo shorts and t-shirts, please make more of an effort! a nice shirt is enough, but it makes the festival so much more festive when everyone is dressed nicely

I worked the campervan field on the Saturday and this photo is slightly misleading. There were loads of vehicles parked to the left of this picture, as well as in the overflow park. No one is allowed to park within 4m of the overhead power lines, which is why this part of the field was kept empty. I've been told the percentage of no-shows was within the expected range for a festival like this.

Finally had time to write my own review of the festival, here it is: https://beautifulfreaks.co.uk/features/2022/09/report-end-of-the-road-festival-2022/

Had a lovely time! Just wanted to second I was also annoyed by people smoking in crowded areas like down at the front where it was packed. I know, it's outside, but it's still unhealthy and I hate the smell too. Doesn't seem too difficult to go to one of the less crowded parts, as is normal in other public spaces such as train stations.
