That depends on the traffic, weather, how drunk/ lost people get. Last year I think there were about 5 or 6 of us . Years previous there have been 10 or 20. We usually sit/ stand to the right of the bad Apple bar if you look at it (with the stage behind you). Usually either Pilton digger or I will have an efest t shirt on. I think pinhead had his efester shirt on last year (?). So shout out or approach randoms, either is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 @mr flow any info on day splits? Been digging round a few websites today - Gorillaz (11th), Limp Bizkit and Die Antewoord (both say 12th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostypaw Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've heard great things about the Gorillaz set too. I think I'm more bothered about this than I was when they did Glastonbury which is odd for me - didn't go see that and it seems like it was the right call at the time. Now I'm curious I think half the people who wanted to get to the meet last year fell victim to the queue - either still in it or wiped out after it. Hopefully this year's arrangements will make that an impossibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm curious Yeah, looking at their set lists currently, i reckon it's going to be a great set. I was worried they might play loads of their last album - Humanz, which i really didn't like, but they're only playing 2-3 songs off that album.

Lakey91 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Morning gang! Heading to my first ever Boomtown this year with a few pals. Got a quick question for someone who's been before. Once you enter the festival are you allowed to return to the car park to collect extra belongings?? Also, I notice the website says there's a beer limit of 16 cans / 7 litres per person... If they do allow you to return to your cars then what's to stop people taking another 16 cans in each time? Trying to do the festival on a fairly small budget as I am going to Ibiza just before. Cheers x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjamest Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Have not been for a couple of years, but you normally have to take all your booze in on the first trip. After you get your wristband you are aloud back out to bring in other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite strict on the limit but there are always ways to smuggle in some extras. Decent spirits into 50cl water bottles and hide them in ingenious places in your luggage. Then you just need to buy mixers once in there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben x Hello Ben, I thought that I had too, but it wasn't to be. Fair play to the efester that was due to buy them both off me - he /she informed me at the earliest opportunity that their mate had to fall out of the proposal to go. These things happen, so it's not a problem. Things are a little crazy this end. What's new I hear you ask? Tom is now in India (with all my loot) and communication is sporadic. I'd paid for him, apparently, to go to Nepal for 3 months, but then, without asking, he just fucked off to India. He had indicated that he was living beyond frugally, but that no longer seems to be the situation - hence 'our' (me and Stella) having to sacrifice BoomTown. And would you believe, but he still thinks I'm a c**t! The one that has provided him with opportunity after opportunity, something his biological father fails to do. Yes, I am mad. Truly insane. Ho hum, I've realized that you don't actually get brownie points for being 'genuinely nice'. There's the rub! Yog xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could quite easily stash a bottle of spirits on you, if you go back for re-entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is I'm not really a spirits drinker so I usually end up giving it away to friends and then just stick with the beers. I suppose for the sake of one weekend I can probably manage to force vodka or gin down my neck. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
