I have looked thro this forum but not spotted a thread for the Whatfest taking place on 17th, 18th and 19th July.

As I am now living closeby I think I will be going on the Friday 17th, mainly want to see Dodgy, they were one of my favourite bands when I was a teenager, Free Peace Sweet was listened to non stop when I was 15 :) Will also be good to her alot of local bands as that seems to be the majority of the line up.

Has anyone been before?

not been before, in fact i think it's only the festivals second year. hoping to make it down on the sunday with a few mates. it's great to have a small festival like that on our doorstep. I hope it is well supported and that it continues to grow over the next few years.

It is handy having a festival so close, traveling there is easy for me, going to Rock Ness this weekend, that will be some trek :P

I've spoke to a few folk at work about this, seems to be quite an interest simply because it is local.

It was, but it was worth it. Left there at 11am but didn't get back to Chester until 10pm. Mainly cos of all the hold ups on the road leaving Inverness. I hate the A9! Weather was great as well, wish I could do it again this weekend.

One of the best weekends I've had, defo on the calendar already for next year.

I'm the same with the cash flow but after the weekend I am now in festival mode!

Was thinking about the Greenman Festival in Wales, been looking at that and fancy it. Just trying to have a look around and seeing what else is on. Don't think I'll be doing any like Leeds or T in the Park tho. Plus I've already sold my T ticket!

What time at night does the headliners normally come on at Whatfest? I'm not sure if will be camping yet so might need to head home on the Friday night.

This little fest was a pretty muddy washout in the end, but we still had fun anyway.

Caught a few great gigs including The Bluetones, Eskimo Smile's last gig, Jessie Rose Trip, Chris Cape and more.

Was there shooting The Targets - I have pics if anyone's interested.

The Targets on the Main Stage, Saturday

Good little fest, despite the mud!

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible

      Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
