Kashkin Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 This forum seems very quiet - who's going this year then? I notice the tickets still haven't sold out with 3 weeks to go, in contrast with previous years. I hope this will not have too much financial impact on the festival.

elias Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Me, my wife and eldest daughter will be there. I wonder how many tickets are unsold? It's been a few years since we last went, but from what I've read it hasn't changed a great deal. Hope the weather is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchilidog Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Will be my first visit since 2009, really looking forward to it. Having checked out vids and blogs from recent years it looks like it hasn't changed a bit. Stellar line-up this year and I am dragging my usual Glastonbury crew with me so they can get their fallow year festival fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravey Davey Gravy Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 We'll be there, full family of four. We haven't been since 2011 so really looking forward to it. This year we've doubled up with sister festival Bearded Theory, so BDs has a lot to live up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there's always something else good on at BDs, I've discovered some real gems by chance there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashkin Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Some recommendations for smaller acts: Holy Moly & the Crackers, My Baby, Slow Readers Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr gumby Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'll be there i also went to Bearded Theory, and was blown away. That'll be a regular fixture in my year, now, as will Beautiful Days. Hoping the good weather lasts a few more weeks! Most looking forward to seeing Vintage Trouble again, and Slow Reader's Club, Feeder and The Wildhearts. Plus, the Barsteward Sons of Val Doonican and Mik Artistik are always on my list if they're playing at a festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucko Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 My first time this year so looking forward to a new festival. Spending the wednesday night at my son's in weston s mare to break the drive up then meeting a few friends at exeter services on thursday morning. What's the thursday night at the festival like, is it just a quiet night around the camp or do they have a few acts on like at Bearded Theory.

Quark Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Aye, my first BDs but also taking my brother to his first camping festival. He's really keen on seeing Suzanne Vega, so can see me foregoing the Hives party on Friday night for a bit of a chilled one. Loads to look forward to. Return viewings for Skinny Lister, Dub Pistols, Vintage Trouble, DEFINITELY Mik and Hobo Jones, and p[robably end up seeing 3DM again just because I always do even when I don't mean to! First time watches for Manics, 40 Shillings on the Drum, Suzanne Vega, Gogol Bordello. Looking forward, heard nothing but good things from those I know who've been before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the former really. All the food/bars/cafes etc will be open, there are small places to hang out like the Tea Tent, but no acts will be on.
