It has been a few years since going to green man. This year didn't disappoint. Despite the rain, Comet is Coming were outstanding as were Self Esteem, The Outlines, Seb Lowe to name a few. The sound on the main stage was epic, food choices were great, really quick to get from one stage to another, beautiful surroundings, the walled garden, the art, the atmosphere, the organisation, the stewards, the friendliness of the bar staff. There were some negatives but nothing we couldn't put up with.
However, one particular issue significantly impacted our overall experience and has led to our decision, not to return next year....the Loos. Personally I don't have an issue with compost toilets so long as they are emptied and cleaned regularly. Maybe we missed something, but it seems they were emptied once on Friday morning and then nothing else all weekend. The last day on the campsite was horrendous. No hand sanitiser for most of Friday - urgh. and a loo roll lottery all weekend.
Other festivals aren't perfect, EOTR for example, had a really bad year 2021, but last year got it properly sorted with flushing toilets for those prepared walk a bit further.
