  1. there is 1 gate

    depends what you mean by good.

    I wouldn't want to be too near the toilets / showers.

    Its one big flat field so there is no difference apart from walking time and we are only talking 1-2 minutes. The field is never anywhere near full and there is usually a bit of leeway and shuffling around unless you're a d*ck about it.

  2. On headliners.

    Not bothered else I would not have got tickets already, but talking generally .......

    Please can we have a good set of headline acts on woods/garden that you can dance or jump around to. I'm not talking every single night on both, variety is great, and the best night I had this year was not that upbeat, but some years have struggled a bit in this department. This year got the mix bang on imo.

    Plus less white male headliners. I see effort at EOTR compared to other festivals. Keep pushing please.

    On the rest of the bill.

    Keep doing what you are doing.

    Those posting above with those humongous lists of acts. Genuine question. Where are you getting the info on these people? I recognize at best 1/4 of that long list. For me EOTR is a prime source of finding new-to-me music I like, but it would be great to expand my horizons a bit more.

     

     

  3. Best EOTR we've done hands down. Not sure if I've still got the festival buzz or not, but I think Kokoko -> Angel Olsen -> Panda Bear / Sonic Boom was the best festival night I've ever had. Left a bit of mind in at that sonic boom set. If you see it, please return.

    Everyone I saw was good, most I saw were very very very good.

    Unexpected random good finds: Sweet Baboo, They Hate Change, Allah-Las.  Master Peace even though I went to the wrong place wanting to see Sculpture 🙂

    Wet leg worked for me. I'm into Gizzard so obvs that was amazing.

     

    I even thought I finally 'got' future islands, but I tell you that deep gutteral bits he does are well odd.

    So, wet leg and future islands, makes me a c**t then 🙂

    Food was tip top. Rendang me up. Those smoking Joe's burgers. The pizza place. The ice cream by the garden, and their ice coffee. Glad they got shot of metro land, this year's selection was better.

    I have to say that my experience was greatly improved by not drinking myself stupid until much later on in the day, which was a bit of a revelation. As was taking a festival shower for the first time in 30+ years of going to them. It was most pleasant. Why didn't anyone tell me?

    Toilets? Maybe could be better, but I thought better than last year tbh. Wasps don't bother me but I get if you're allergic or something.

  4. Thought that they where better than last year tbh. They stank a bit sure, but nowhere near as much as a nice full portaloo does after a day in the sun. Admit a bit of lighting and hand rails would make things better. Maybe some sanitizer in each cube. Some urinals in the campsites would help.

    would like to point out that I was very much joking about Michael Stipe, but oh boy, what a coup that would be!

    I was not joking about Aphex Twin. He confirmed to me just now when we were communing on the astral plane

  6. See aphex twin is doing bristol on the saturday. Do you think if we all concentrated at the same time to send a telepathic message to him that he would pop by? It's kind of on the way to cornwall right?

    Katy J Pearson more likely I guess but I don't think her mind is open to messages like that

  7. Prefer this lineup to last year personally

    Don't get what was there in previous years that people feel is missing this year. It all looks very EOTR, not sure what you are expecting really.

    There are never 'big' headliners, loads of other festivals do that better, maybe even for less money. That is old news, it's not that kind of festival.

    If you don't feel it this year, nobody is forcing you
