Nice to see back2basics on there with Dave Beer. Not many that I recognise.

Yes as a placed I went clubbing at regularly years ago I think might go to that

Guessing the tribute is to Andy (808 State) Barker x

Whose name, remarkably, they have managed to spell wrong!

Seen a few other acts complain on the Facebook post their name is spelled wrong too.... Ooops.

Without being rude it does seem to be the least organised area of SE corner. I think one year they weren't quite ready in time. And there never seems to be a huge amount of drive to make creative changes, in comparison to other areas of SE. I still love it though. You could argue SE corner needs somewhere a bit more relaxed so it works. spelling mistakes is shite though

Sasha's set in the rain at 1am was awesome. There's def a lack of bigger names this year but I don't think the area needs them/ warrants it.

Looks like they might be doing a take over if that is the case the Ralph Lawson might make an appearance.

I thought that too. Tristan da Cunha a previous Basics resident may well be there as he's at the festival elsewhere over the weekend

Unless my memory is goosed it looks like most of the sideshows and attractions mentioned on the poster are new  no?

Can confirm this was pretty fucking great, although Bez did say "get on the bus / ride the bus" etc around what felt like several thousand times, which was probably a few too many... Gave us a good laugh tho!

I can fully recommend Born on Road. Aries and Co I think playing 4 or so sets across the festival. You won't be disappointed

Having been to the unfairgrounds, it's almost certainly intentional.
