New car stacking system


Lowther Calling

Recommended Posts

We stayed at Deer Lodge. Arrived on site around 4pm Friday - no queues whatsoever and once we were given wrist bands we drive straight down (trying to dodge folk right enough).

I was parked at the foot of a hill so glad I made the decision to move my car up to the flat bit on Saturday morning as I'd still be stuck I think!

Yeah, we came in on Thursday. We queued for well over an hour (not sure how much longer I fell asleep then). It was already pretty full when we arrived and we'd made the rookie error of bringing a brand new tent that we'd never put up before so that delayed us as well. We ended up missing the meet up drinks and the majority of Blossoms.

We arrived on Thursday at 3pm and were at Emperors gate at 4.30pm. Pretty shit but not as bad as most of you. By this time they were walking down the q asking folk to separate their tickets to speed things up a bit. The fella told me that it wasn`t as bad now as it had been as they had " just put more staff on ".......at 4.30pm !!!

I was at 4 festivals this year. 1 much bigger than KC, 1 much smaller and 1 roughly the same. KC is the only one where I had to get my wristband BEFORE I parked the car.

Next year, why not get everyone in off the road and parked then deal with the wristbands at the gate where they are already set up with the crash barrier thingys and multiple lanes to walk through.

I was in Emperors so not sure if this was the same as the other campsites ?

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
