Strummerville

[bexj]

Where's strummerville these days, is it in the  trees between the tipis and the park? 

[cammie81]

Yeah beside the viewing area and just south of the Tipi Village up a rather steep hill.

Right at top of hill passed tipis before exit to worthy view

Not sure what to expect this year - headed up there a few times last year and it was pretty dull.  Not sure the weather put bands off getting up that hill but nothing was going on when I was up there

Was tempted to trek up there for one of the late night special guests.  Anyone have any idea who's been a special guest up there in the past?

yeah went there last year for the first time and it was quite weird tbh. Nothing was going on, everyone was just sat around drinking. It was really quiet too.

It's an excellent place just to chill out.. not everything has to be full on. I just st about remember waking up leaning on Don Letts     shoulder sat in the sofa, with people or singing along to womak and womak tear drops xx stunning

It's fun for watching people slip around and fall over when it's muddy. And then slipping around and falling over yourself (not so fun).

This place sounds bangin'! In all seriousness, never been, will try to.When is the best time? When you don't have a headliner?

I walked past and Frank Turner was playing about 4pm one year, that was busy. Had a decent dj on and enough of a crowd for a decent,  but still fairly chilled, atmosphere about 2am. Generally it's quiet most of the time in my experience but we haven't had a scorcher since it moved - would be a good place to catch shade...

Could of sworn there was a little part of Strummerville which has a bangin sound system. We briefly popped over on the wednesday or thursday last year. Can anyone confirm this? i might be getting confused with somewhere else.

Seriously, though, it's a long way to go just to tell people that Cut the Crap is better than London Calling.

Mystery Jets announced in their JP set last year that they were playing up there later that day. So the guests could be of a similar size?

I don't recal seeing any kind of lineup for it in the past though? Or have I got that wrong?

i think i remember seeing the line up scattered on flyers around the festival site. I could be wrong, that could be for another stage or area.
