The ALAN?! craze all started at the mainstage in weston park just before faithless began on saturday. A bloke probly in his late 40's was wondering around shouting HELEN?! looking for his mrs we presume and 4 lads from shrewsbury Adam Donnely, Dan Williams, Aaron Taylor and myself Robert Wray all began shouting it randomly then we realised it sounded like alan haha!! We carried on shouting it determined to find an Alan somewhere on the site and had most of the blue campsite and red site shouting it and i think it must of took over because chelmsford were aparantly shouting it haha!! the international response to ALAN?! is always STEVE and theres another story behind that haha!! we eventually found an Alan just before the phonics played and we confirmed it by insisting on seeing his i.d!! there were some unconfirmed sitings of a helen but no i.d was shown. if your name was alan or helen plz let us know we'd love to hear from you. Also if your name's Basil that would be a bonus!! Any stories about ALAN?! shouting from around the camp either stafford or chelmsford would be much appreciated.

Cheers Wrayz

it could be to do with this...

www.wearealan.com

This has been happening to festivals all over the country for a while now and we got inspired by it some years and set up our own night over it... we did this before the program came about.

ALAN is an acronym for Awareness & Love All Nighters. That came to us through positive thought...

Our aim is to hold all night quality music events showcasing old/new & Live music and to provide alternative information/theories on the world around us in the hope we can make a positive change in all things such as environment, politics, human and animal welfare… Whilst at the same time promoting unconditional love to your fellow human.

Music we cover DnB, Breaks, Jungle, Electro, House, Old Skool, Breakcore, Dubstep, Rave, Bassline, Techno, Minimal, Psytrance, Psybreaks, Psycore, Electronica, Bootyshake, Reggae, Ambient and IDM...we also have facepainting, live performances, art, visuals, fully themed elaborate decor, games, B-Boys, circus performers, bouncy castles, Glittermen, magicians, Drum circles, Rave toy give outs, Wish lanterns, Hidden crowd interactions and of course we raise money for charities through selling glowsticks.

Please check out our website for event updates as we're holding raves in London every other month!

WWW.WEAREALAN.COM

Afterall, its about the journey NOT the destination!

"Raving awareness about the current global situation through good vibes, good tunes and great people..."

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.

      Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
