Not buying festival supplies he won't I am not camping , the thought of pitching a tent brings me out in a cold sweat, and the memory of general camping in 2010 has still not faded.......... The frog chorus of bodily functions at 5am was something special !

Get a taxi to take you to go outdoors mate you could walk it from the train station , and halfords is closer , instead of looking for McDonald's just walk in the opposite direction 2 mins halfords 10 mins go outdoors.

Trouble I have is convincing them that a smaller festival can be just as good as what theyre used to, theyre glastonbury through and through and nothing else compares in their eyes. frustrating at times

Dragged some more camping stuff out the loft today and got most of it all sorted and ready to go.

Will sort out clothes and pack them tomorrow, then do a small food/booze shop for one on Thursday morning.

Probably head off to get there for around 1pm Thursday, nice and early and get set up in quiet camping.

Pretty excited now as not been at KC since 2008. I've got a fairly decent list of acts I will try and catch and be good to see some familiar and new eFestival faces.

Will be at the meets, look out for me.. I shall wear an eFestivals t-shirt on the Thursday night :)

Las year was Al's first time at a festival (although we do camp)....even driving home last year she said 'when do you think next years tickets will be on sale'.....at that point I knew she was converted!

Food wise were taking bbq stuff for most days and enough bacon for sarnies every day and a few snacks for here and there. Normally take a decent size bag of coffee so if you want a morning cuppa and your close just head over lippy.

I needt the early morning coffee to start me off !

    • 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...
