Unsure of what crowd to expect. Ravers desperate for a dance or conspiracy theorists dishing out flyers about covid being a hoax. Yeah do it! Just hope Piers C and his lunatics aren't hijacking it!

Zacko Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Really confused by the current rules on festivals. Seen a lot of footage from Access festival yesterday, with people crammed around the stage dancing and watching DJ's with no masks or anything. Lineup looked amazing to be fair! I'm not remotely judging or anything, I'm just genuinely confused - is it that crowds are supposed to wear masks and not dance etc, but people are just ignoring it? (that's my guess). Bigfoot looked the same from some stuff I saw. To my mind it looks the same as a normal festival, so that's why I'm confused! But I guess it bodes well for some of my September festivals that are DJ-led. Edited June 27, 2021 by Zacko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted June 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Just spoke to Child 1, who lives in Amsterdam now - sensibly buggered off when Brexshit started to impact on his life. The Dutch govt made a flash announcement last week that, as of yesterday, clubs and all other venues can re-open. Slightly tiered - if you want no restrictions, you need a LFT before entry, if you don't want to force tests, then there is table service etc. Anyhoo, so he went out and saw Dixon on good form playing a set of mostly breaks and looks today like a dog with two dicks. Bastard. But, at least I grow them well... Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go to Glastonbury in those days, was more an underground clubber than a field dancer but watching this doc I really missed out 😍 In hindsight, it's a huge regret that I never attended in the 90s, despite being a raver since 92. I had ridiculous and totally incorrect pre-conceived ideas of what Glastonbury was in those days, preferring clubs and warehouses to fields and fresh air. One of my best friends at school attended since 94 and tried convincing me to go, to no avail. Absolute insanity, really.

What an absolute fool 15-23 year old me was 😂 Haha yes, I remember working with someone that went late 90s & me clearly saying to them why would I want to traipse across muddy fields with all my belongings when I can get dressed up & dance til dawn in a club 😅 oh how silly young me was! I went to to my 1st festival in 2001 (I was 25!) the 1st ever Global Gathering, close to where I lived, easy to get to (I couldn't drive) & I could go to work the next day! That was another thing, I don't think I took any holidays from work in the 90s, so the idea of taking a week off work to live in a field & getting halfway across the country was just not in my remit - I don't regret anything in my past but I do wish I could add to it, like with a spot of time travel😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Four Tet-curated one in Oct, typically, is ace too. Really happy to see Anz sweeping the board this year. Aletha, TSHA, Tãn, Eliza Rose, Holly Lester, Darwin all exciting gets too. And a much overdue double booking for DJ Paulette as well! Agreed. They've done very well. As you say, the XXL line up is almost ridiculous. And brilliant to see women as four of the five 'headliners' (god I hate that term in clubbing) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
