Smoking

Hello, as a young(ish) person, naturally I'm disgusted by people smoking dope. Can anyone advise how best to avoid this at kc? I mean, hopefully people get searched on the way in for this devilishly horid stuff right? And I'm hoping it's not common practice and security just let people blatantly 'light up' ? I'm so so worried thinking of not coming, can some one set my mind at ease

Not a big dope smoking fest TBH far to well policed ! 

My advice is sell your ticket and go to festival on the wall .

only thing I can say is last year the police presence private dog handlers and police dogs improved security and undercover police would and did make it difficult.

To be fair it makes a change from the usual question we get of what's the best way to smuggle a cannabis brick and 500 Es into the festival. 

I would imagine you'll see a bit of smoking, I don't personally smoke and it's never really bothered me, I've never seen any trouble, fighting or arguments between groups which would concern me more in that environment. You'll learn to ignore certain stuff when you go to festivals, your more likely to be freaked out over the state of the toilet or the queue at the bar rather than the stoned guy dancing like a freak by the tree at the top of the hill !

I went to bestival on a stag do last year and I am pretty open minded and of the opinion you do what you want but the amount of cs gas cans on the floor shocked me. I was picking kids not much older than my own up with their eyes rolling for hours on the first night and for the first time ever I felt 'grown up'(old). I take my hat off to Kendal as I have been to 6 and never seen any trouble orr a single CS can or anyone completely mindless on gear. One of the reasons I keep taking my own family. I would never take them to Bestival it wasnt nice to see

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
