Ryan1984 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) So, from yesterday’s announcement it looks like the next few festivals (that haven’t cancelled) are on? I’m booked for the Liam day at Reading - think that has a good chance of going ahead… Edited July 13, 2021 by Ryan1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working for our local radio station during the day, interviewing bands, and then I'll get the late afternoons and nights to myself to meet up with our group, which is much smaller than normal.

Quite a lot of us judging from the Latitude section on here. I've been once before. I'm assuming/hoping the crowd will be more up for a party than the usual blanket brigade - it's a festival that's actually happening, and they've booked the Chemical Brothers! But I guess a lot of people there will be rollovers from last year, and this is a place where the family camping section is as big if not bigger than the standard section.

Homer Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Would be all over Latitude, but going back to Bristol for first time in nine months this weekend, then got Farmfest the weekend after, so should prob have one weekend at home in between! Also, not a huge fan of arena festivals. Edited July 13, 2021 by Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazwozza Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Now here's an interesting development, the Spotify playlist for Green Man 2020 has been re-named Green Man 2021.... and it's currently empty. Suggests (at the very least) that this year's lineup is about to be released... 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there will be quite a different clientele to normal, the ‘Islington family weekend away’ mob may well be a little cautious? I did 2018 & 19 with Oxfam and will do so again, even though I said I wouldn’t be going back. It’s a nice festival but it feels a bit flat, very little passion, certainly when compared to the independents (GM, BD, Big G, BT etc) and the beer choice is shite. I hope it is a great experience this year, it will certainly be different 😊. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
found home in 2009 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just bought Friday tickets to Playground Festival now that Scotland's freedom day has been announced. To be honest could have been tempted to go for all 3 days, but my girlfriend feels like she's getting too old for consecutive nights out.

As Ben mentioned, Boomtown doesn't and would be the largest after Glastonbury. Shambala doesn't either. At some events the distinction isn't all that important - Bearded Theory does have a separate Arena and Campsite, but as there's no real checkpoint or other obstacle between the two it's not something you really notice. Just walk in freely, showing your wristband to the stewards stood on the side of the path. Similar applies at EOTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuie Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Lost Village has shown signs of life to sell some boutique camping! No other statement of intent or anything, just taking some more cash. Sorry, I’m way too cynical these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Johno Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 BoomVillage (miniature Boomtown) just cancelled without giving a reason why? It’s not for another month and things are getting better. If I was cynical I’d say it was because they were struggling to sell tickets? Anyone got a more official line on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got a more official line on that They give the reason in the third paragraph. The core decision is due to the escalating cases of COVID-19 across the country, and the risks that widespread illness and self-isolation could have on our crew and contractors, which would result in us not having enough people to build and deliver the show to the high public safety standards we uphold.
