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.

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By nikkic · Posted

      This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier.

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.
