New Interrupters album out today for anyone thinking about seeing them in a couple of weeks!

Just giving it a first listen, it's okay (SKA punk is not really my thing), but it could be any of their previous work, I keep thinking I've heard that before.

Here's the full list of where you can eat! 😋

Curry Shed – Authentic Indian Vegetarian Curries
Food Groove – Vegetarian Café Near Little Big Top
Fresh Organic – Veggie Burgers built to your taste

 

These are my favs, not going this year even though I have access to a free ticket.

Only regret is missing the Curry Shed

Going for the first time ... have no clue where to camp ... 

Don't want anywhere too rowdy at night - I need some sleep!  so I guess arena camping is out ... 

Not getting there until Thursday evening so guess will just have to see what I can get !

Plenty camping carpark side of the side, not too rowdy normally (family bit can be in the morning mind 😂)

I wouldn't worry too much, it's not a noisy event. Music over by 2am, except silent disco and maybe Bimble (which is a good way from any camping).

Thanks everyone yeah I guess will try and camp on the car park side can't see the difference between North and South from here I guess one is nearer to the arena ...  and what's Barleyfields? Redwoods? guess I will just have to wander around and see ... the most stressful bit for me is finding a spot to camp.  I do like the pre-set tent things from that pov but they are getting a lot more expensive it seems.  

@spg we were in Family camping at Wilderness and the noise in the NIGHT was quite surprising - multiple babies crying etc! 

We have no children with us this time so will avoid family camping I think ... 

@Skip997 yeah I just can't stand being camped next to someone doing ketamine / drinking and talking bollocks all night in the tent next to me as happened at Shambala last time i went.  We had specifically found a spot without obvious wreck heads around us on the Thursday and this tent appeared on the Friday or Saturday next to us lol.  I like to have fun then come back to the tent and sleep ! I'm old!

What are you doing going to bed in the hours of darkness at Shambala of all places?

Bet you're not as old as me.

Anyone know if the caravan area has grey water waste area or anything? Also when the loo gets full is it a trip to the portaloo to empty it or is that frowned upon? First year in the caravan. so many questions!

All the caravan/camper van fields have facilities to empty portable toilets.

It is frowned upon to empty in the portaloos.

There should be a large Elsan Point next to most (but not all) of the Toilet Blocks in the Live In Fields. If there's not one at the block nearest where you're parked up, ask one of the Stewards and they'll point you in the right direction.

Definitely don't empty stuff into Portaloos.
