Hi hun

Yeah, please do bring them! I know its a pain in the arse, but the statement from the Creamfields site today even said the ground was soft, and its been raining off and on for ages now. Two days ago we had a massive downpour, and whilst its not rained today, the grass and the mud are squigey. The site always gets worse as the weekend goes on. Better safe than sorry my dear!

Right so what is the weather like there today..im down in Reading and unfortunatly for me living right next to the Reading Festival site. They have had to open the gates to drain the site, the mud is unreal people look like they have been here a week already and the music hasn't even started yet! I hope its not that bad at Creamfields!! But never the less im soooooo excited right now..finish work at 2.30 then to tesco to get bozze supplys ...and up for the last shower before leaving , wooohoooo were starting to drink from 6am!! :)

Unless its been a scorcher for weeks I think wellies are the best option anyway! I went in trainers the year before last when it pee'd down on the Saturday night and it was horrendous the amount of times my feet got stuck about a foot deep and sliding around everywhere!! Wellies last year and no such problems :) Even if the main field isn't bad, its always bad round the toilets and standing in p*ssy mud in your decent trainers is no laugh :P

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
