MaxPower Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Going for the first time next year, pretty excited after seeing videos and the lineup from this year. hoping the lineup is as good next year - quite like the idea of the odd non-electronic act in Bombay Bicycle Club and Arlo Parks - wonder if they’ll do that next year as well.

Its a truly incredible festival! Booked up for next year before id even had chance to recover from this one! Yeah you can pretty much guarantee they'll be a similar style booking; De La Soul, Friendly fires and Django Django have all been booked within the last few editions.

TheFullShaboo Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Lineup drops this Wednesday at midday! One of the favourite poster drops of the season for me personally, always a few nice surprises in there. Hoping for Django Django to return after being dropped from last years festival. Someone like Hot Chip, Chemical Brothers, MGMT, Primal Scream, Groove Armada, Foals, The Streets for a standout headliner would be nice. Love bouncing around the stages aimlessly in the day checking out the electronic acts but its nice to have a larger name act in the evening to look forward too! Edited February 6, 2022 by TheFullShaboo Chucked a few more names into my wish list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Village is one of those festivals that has about 50 different 'phases' to try and trick people into thinking its about to sell out. It goes up about £5 each release, and i think it was on the 6th phase before they took tickets off sale this week, roughly about £230? Saying that it will sell out, however it usually sells out much nearer the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to hate lineup phases 😞 especially when they go on sale without any acts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sofia Kourtesis, Joy Orbison, Ross From Friends, HAAI, Greentea Peng, Honey Dijon, Horse Meat Disco, Kokoroko, Norman Jay and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs would be on my list. Enough to make the trip worthwhile. Edited February 9, 2022 by blutarsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sofia Kourtesis in particular was incredible, came out into the crowd multiple times which got everyone going on the final day! Just expected maybe a few more big surprises? But yeah, one of my favourite festivals of the season, and one where the lineup really isn't as important as others that i go too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Bang average. below par compared to previous versions they will add more as time goes by but those headliners are not to my taste at all Edited February 9, 2022 by Memory Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obiginnaw Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Some Cracking names in there, for a first announcement i think it's worthy of a ticket for sure. There's still plenty of names to be had, Overmono Live and Seinfeld doing Mirrors Live are massive imo. I reckon they've got a few things up their sleeve, but i agree it's "solid" it's a 7.5/10 i reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinterz Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Anyone else attending this year? It'll be my first time and pretty excited for it. Headliners aren't necessarily as strong as previous years but line up is perfect for what I'm looking for, some nice B2Bs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been the last 4( i think ?) and always a highlight of the summer. Agree with you on the headliners, nothing really jumped out at me when the lineup was dropped, but the music only really plays a small part of the festival. The stages and the site is just incredible, can spend all day bouncing from stage to stage and have a quick rest around the lake when you feel like it. Benefit of having no real standout names is that you can just take each day as it comes with the music, have a gander round the stages and choose to stay at the one you're feeling the most!

Swinterz Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Sounds good! Any tips on what time to arrive on the Thursday to try and beat the bulk of the queue? Also is there any better areas to camp at than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few years a few of our group has arrived 10am as the gates have opened and have usually got a pretty decent spot. First year i think we got there at 7pm and we had one of the fields at the back. Only a small festival though so not the end of the world! We tend to try and camp as close to the main arena only because it means less of a walk to pop back the tent to re-stock!

northernbro Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 How strict upon entry are they with their completely unreasonable alcohol policy? on the website says limited to no spirits, 1 bottle of wine or 8 cans of lager per person on first admittance to site … is this Woodstock 99 🤔🤑 Is it more relaxed when there or will everyone likely be subject to a search?

Both Noisily and Secret Garden Party also had an 8 can limit this year, so this kind of limit is certainly becoming more normalised. I'm hoping of course for you that Lost Village goes the way of Noisily (absolutely fantastic), and not the way of Secret Garden Party (terrible). What I'm saying, is I don't think having a stingy can limit alone is reason to have concerns about the festival, as I went to both a good and a bad festival with the same limit this year. A lot of festivals are simply cash strapped after Covid, and looking to make a bit of extra money on the bar. Good and bad festivals alike. If the festival is good enough, I don't think most people mind helping them out by buying a few extra drinks at the bar to smooth out their post Covid finances. If the festival is bad, then of course it starts to feel like a cynical cash grab. Not that this necessarily helps your question, but enforcement of the 8 can limit was very lax at the above mentioned festivals this year, not sure if that also carries forward to LV.

Marvin S Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Both times I went (2019 and 2021) they didn't even look in my bags and no queueing during early Thursday afternoon entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
