Going from Lincolnshire?


Guest Alchemy Festival

Recommended Posts

There is an even better festival in Lincolnshire in september that has amazing stuff for kids too. I reckon you should check it out. Its called Alchemy Festival and the organiser is nearly as top a bloke as his missus is a top lass.

But seriously - Love Glasto Love Alchemy - an ace way to see the season out :P:P:P

I'm going from Lincoln.

I'm getting the train down to London on the Tuesday, staying over with family there that night then getting the coach from Victoria on Wednesday, then doing the same thing on the way back (going back to Lincoln from London on the Tuesday after). That way i can get clean and rested before having to go all the way back to Lincoln (and work!), get to go to/from glastonbury with my friend from Brighton rather than alone, don't have to get up so early on Wednesday morning and get to split up the journey a bit.

The traffic problems last year caused mega issues for thousands of Wednesday arrivals quite simply.

A couple of crashes on the M5 and M6 I believe and then something happened in the Shepton area too worsening the problem.

Pezzypops I think came down from Liverpool and it took him 19 hours!!!

I used to work in Lincoln and would get a bus from Hull. It was good because the bus past RAF Scampton (the back way), and if the Red Arrows were flying the driver would stop so we could all get out and watch :P

But in all seriousness, I am certain that the Environment Agency have decided to collapse the foold defences for Lincolnshire and just let the North Sea have it, all on the presumption that no one will miss it :P

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
