FuzzyDunlop Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 IMOÂ The cheer happens when the fireworks finish. Even if you watch them at your tent.... people clap & cheer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 For those unfamiliar, it really is something to behold. I'll try and start it in Holts around 6pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you watch them at your tent.... people clap & cheer. Cheering after fireworks is kind of normal. 'THE' Cheer is something a bit different I think. It's unity and release. Would be epic for it to come back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 From a Caitlin Moran atricle: Every so often during the festival, you will suddenly hear a cheer begin – a cheer, followed by wild applause. The first time you come, you presume something has happened – a celebrity has arrived, a show has finished. Eventually, you realise: people are just cheering the festival. They’re just cheering being alive. They’re just cheering being here. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poorside.2 Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 It's going to be such a release, it'll feel like the proper end of a crazy couple of years.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChipWillBreakYourLegs Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 It also happens when the sun pops out on a cloudy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver89 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 It's happened most years I've been there so the 2004 chat is nonsense. It will make a glorious and continuous return this year. It'll be remarkable if the acts can get a note in sideways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 It happened after the sun finally came out on the Saturday in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGChild Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'm so down with this. Definitely happened in 2009 (my first time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
