Festie season mostly over now...does Freeze Festival in London in late October count?

Summer...been lovely, had its up and downs but worth breaking my Aussie trip for, especially the Orbital shows!!! Shame I aint going back (yet) but big lifechanging college course approacheth in 2 weeks and spending nearly every other weekend in Brighton for the past 6 weeks has certainly been bloody ace!

No festies for me at all next year though. But I think I did a damn good job of catching up on attending them this year after missing out the year before too.

And cos I aint returning to Oz now for at least 2 more years, I can squeeze in many more Orbital shows... :angry:

AND the weather was pretty lush all summer...tbh I cannot remember any really bad days.

Yep Summer is over. So how to survive the winter? Preparing for Glasto next year is one. For me it's the trailer tent project.

Also need a couple of Winter breaks. Mrs Grumpyhack doesn't cope well with dark winters so we try to fix a couple of short breaks. Last year we went to Palma in Majorcia in December. Great and pleasant surprise. Now gone very upmarket - not at all British Pubs but five star hotels, good restautants and Guicci shops.

This year Paris in December and Nice in April and then the festy season can start.

Summers not over yet! We were bopping about Bingley yesterday at Bingley Music Live.

Why don't you guys with post festie blues get yourselves along to Alchemy in 2 weeks?

It's gonna be a superb one to round off the season that started with a hell of a blast at Bearded Theory in mid May :angry: It's one of the efest regulars who is putting it on so lets support him ;)

For those further north than Lincolnshire there is Knockengorroch up towards Ayr to enjoy 16th - 20th September.

To start the season Bearded Theory has to be the way to go. bands booked, planning well under way, roll on mid May

Can't argue with either of you guys. Loopallu and Knockengorroch would be ace. Loop is too far time wise to travel for me (6 and a half hours on a good day and I'm also in Scotland!) Knock is not far from my doorstep but my efest mates are all going to Alchemy and we want to support The Alchemist :angry:

Get your tickets for Bearded soon because when the big announcement is made when the tickets go on general sale they will all be snapped up! ;)

yeah it is a sad feeling :angry: no more festivals, no more beaches

But at least I'm going on holiday in November, and then the Christmas holidays. Plus my first festival next yr will be in April(Bangface), so it least I don't have to wait for the summer for my first festival. But this month and October are boring.

I don't think you can count summer as over until at least after next weekend, given that Bestival and End of the Road are both happening then. EotR will be my end to festival season, but the weekend after that is my birthday and straight after that I'll be moving. So yes, my summer's been great, and I'll miss the possibility of warm sunshine, but I'm feeling ok about moving into autumn at the moment... Of course, in the middle of winter after getting up every day in the dark to cold and rain I may change my mind ;)

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      She was/is 100% in the mix, but I don't know specific timings and how it relates to that interview. They've clearly gone after her, again.   It could be read in a number of ways - she was in negotiations at that point, she was talking about BST (and he's interpreted it, as we have, as Glastonbury). Who knows

      So sad to see the news that John Douglas of the Trashcan Sinatras has died. They only released their latest album last week and it is wonderful.  So underrated and a member of such a great long running band that have meant so much to me over the last 40 years. https://trashcansinatras.com/blogs/news/john-douglas-1963-2026

      listening to jamie east's podcast earlier he said that he'd heard fender is confirmed, and that as of 2 weeks ago Madonna hadn't been approached.

      which would make that Graham Norton interview nonsense .... although obviously things change

      I dunno - I thought that initially but I'm, reluctantly, edging towards not happening as it stands. Will continue to dig where I can, though.   Re 2028 - I wouldn't be confident. If this is the second time they've tried and it's gone belly up, it could be a case of just write it off.
