The thing I dont like about "The definitive guide to festivals" is that it it could be viewed as simply a festivals guide, whereas the website is more than that in my mind. Its a site that encompasses everything and anything about the festival experience from the gigs, to survival tips, to travel advise, to ticketing, to camping etc etc................all aspects of festivaling. So as it stands its good (apart from the L issue) or you would need something else that makes it obvious its about more than just a festival guide

FESTIVALLING feels correct, FESTIVALING looks correct

 

one of the reasons I stuck with one L was because it somehow looked more correct.

 

A different word that looks totally wrong when its written in a similar way is "focussed". It definitely looks more correct to me when written as "focused".

I've worked in hotels and hostels for 8 years or so. 'Accommodation' still looks wrong to me.

The definitive guide to the world of festivals perhaps.

"At the heart of the show since 1998"

 

"Your definitive festival guide"

 

"The last word in the festival scene"

 

"The AAA pass to all festival information"

 

You could even produce a few different slogans against the dancing man graphic that change for every refresh.

festivaling is in the thesaurus:

http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/festivaling

Festivalling is not, a quick google of the two lls illicits 11,000 results, the one l spelling - 174,000 results - suggesting it's just hipsters and bad spellers who are trying to bring a fey spelling into existence.

I was at college with a wonderful Italian woman but she just couldn't pronounce focus - it always came out as "Fock Us".  We loved getting her to say it.

      Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.

      Ticket tips and Tricks 2027

      By parsonjack · Posted

      Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....

      I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though.
