Yeah the some like hot toastie was amazing, had that on Saturday 🙂

This was my 1st festival in 4 years and 1st one without my Andy (as he past suddenly last year after his 50th 😞 ) went with glamping option as even though was catching up with friends at points, I knew I would be on own and didn't want to set up our lovely tent just for me... Whilst is was hard at times especially on the Sunday as I just wanted Andy to be there with me, he's always in spirit as I have some of his ashes in a necklace aka his mobile home but obviously not the same I did have a great time, Witch Fever, Elvana, EMF to name a few were fantastic, loved Big Ed, the silent disco and the karaoke at the knockerdown tent - was there pretty much every night murdering Bon Jovi wanted dead or alive, Simple Minds don't you forget about me with a bit of Cranberries zombie and Kate Bush to boot (given I've never done karaoke ever in public until this year I could get enough of it 🙂 ) Bar choice was not as varied as last time I went in 2019 but it was still pretty decent and spent small fortune!! I opted for greek gyros a few times, pie, crispy duck wrap (overpriced imo), great toastie place on way to woodland and finally had a goan fish curry - did think £12 for a main meal was a bit steep but guess it was inevitable All in all had a great time despite my personal circumstances, but I do think the changes they made this year worked well particularly the Meadow (spent alot of time there) and the silent disco.. Oh and nearly buggered myself up on Jaipur on the 1st day, that stuff is lethal!! 🤪

Are there security lockers this year? as can't see any details on website and a bit concerned as I'm camping on my own (abid in glamping but had to be done given I don't have my partner with me now), last time I was there in 2019 there were a few thefts so want to make sure belongings are safe Thanks

Well I bought myself a super early bird ticket for this, as I missed this year due to my partner being ill and unfortunately he died in July shortly after his 50 birthday 😞 I miss Andy everyday and was in 2 minds whether to go as we loved going to festivals together (we had so much fun), so its going to be hard going without him but I know he wouldn't want me to miss out on something I loved doing... so I'm back on the festival bandwagon and joining another group of friends who are going Glad the BYO beer policy is still there, capacity increase to 15k like this year not so much but I'll live as this for me is more about moving forward doing something I love if a different way now that my Andy has gone 😞

If anyone would like to buy a pair of weekend camping tickets plus Thursday entry and car park pass I have them listed on Twickets https://www.twickets.live/block/922009220004556,5 These are 2019 prices Unfortunately partner has been very poorly this year and yet a gain in hospital, so we can't go... therefore if anyone or you know anyone interested then share them this link - Cheers 🙂 I also have a weekend meteor shower pass too put not listed that yet, these are actually sold out now but would sell this for £40 and small storage locker for £10

yeah she is as did see her last time she played Bluedot 🙂

Really happen they have got Metronomy (personal fav) and Groove Armada (not seen before), plus a few regular acts I enjoy seeing (Henge, Stealing Sheep, Radiophonic workshop, Hannah Peel etc).... need to check out some of the other names I'm not familar with but happy with this lineup.. My other festival is bearded theory who have an awesome lineup this year!! so happy bunny here 🙂

They both had tours to sell, so reckon that was the reason for the delay... I'm hoping for both as love Metronomy (been asking for them on the questionnaire thingie they do each year, actually asked for Bjork too so double winner!) and never seen Groove Armada 🙂

made up The Hives are playing as great at interacting with the crowd!! plus Frank too 🙂 Surely Echo and The Bunnymen are Friday subs given they are at Wolverhampton on the Saturday??

I think we will get Echo & the Bunnymen back too given this festival puts them in Wolverhampton on the Saturday..... I really hope so Hoping the Undertones are back on the lineup too 🙂

Thinking of treating myself to a stay in one of the posh tents... anyone stayed in them before and what they like? Are there big queues for the showers? If anyone has an pics I'd really appreciate it 🙂

Tickets back in the bag for next year so made up about that 🙂 I think they should look to book up and coming band called Witch Fever from Manchester as seen them so many time now and they are amazing!!! please book them guys!!

I'm hoping they will be confirmed later, as 80s cheese is a must 🙂

oh my word!! I am so sorry to hear this and sending virtual (((hugs))) and condolences your way xxx

Saw her at Bluedot.. totally go for it in that small setting it will be fantastic
