The festival previously have mentioned they weren't that happy with how the reserved camping system was working, and that it wasted a lot of space. They tried reducing the pitch sizes this year, but this obviously upset people. I think the new plan is that Camp Orchid has effectively replaced the concept of reserved camping. Your exact pitch isn't reserved, but you are guaranteed enough space somewhere within the supposedly "spacious" gated Camp Orchid campsite. Also you now get facilities, which wasn't included with reserved camping before. A big obvious downside is that the location is not as good as that prime spot next to the Lions Den. It's only about £10 more than reserved camping was last year, and with the toilets and showers thrown in, feels like an upgrade to me. But the loss of that prime location next to the Lions Den is a shame. The beauty of reserved camping was it was £45 per pitch, not per person. We got 5 tents over 2 pitches so if you’re arriving Thursday it’s an absolute god send if you don’t wanna be miles out. I don’t think they advertised it very well, ended up being about £13 each to have the best campsite location guaranteed. It was less than half full though so not the best return for boomtown, plus everyone camped there got their tents robbed so swings and roundabouts.

Reel Big Fish have headlined it in the past, and i'd say Flogging Molly would have the same sort of draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident Aphex will play, but as we saw with the Prodigy last year, things can change quickly behind the scenes, so until it's announced it's never a sure thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one of the organisers on Facebook said that their biggest headliner this year will be their new investment into the uks independent circus, theatre and art scenes, on a scale never been done before. Sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
