What time does the music come to an end on the Monday? I can imagine some tents sneaking in a few more tunes post 6AM.

I'm sure I was watching Fontaines DC in the Rabbit Hole at something like 4am a few years back.  But you can usually find music later than that in the smaller, beneath-the-radar places.  By that time, everyone's smashed, so it's just a matter of whether anyone's still willing and capable of operating the kit.  In terms of proper stages, the latest ones in Shangri La etc. stop at 5am.

I remember the Rabbit Hole still being going at about 11am one Monday morning - but that's a good while ago now.

Way back in the mists of time, the Banyan Tree Cafe used to proudly announce that they were the first stage to open, and the last to close - Running 24/7 from 10am Wednesday to 10am Monday.

 

Unfortunately that whole 24/7 thing got them shut down for repeated noise violations, and they weren't invited back anymore.

I'd rather go to Devon for a week after the festival myself! 😄

 

 

That's exactly what we do! Then drive home to Cornwall. 😊

Cheers! I bet Fontaines in Rabbit Hole was mad!

Maceos or Guerrilla may possibly push it a bit

Maceos is usually still going when we litterpick nearby on Monday. Although last year we picked at the Stone Circle and it was VERY busy still at noon.

Insane amount of Seagulls

LOL this just triggered a core memory from one of the earlier Festivals I went to, the sky seeming full of bloody seagulls by about day 3 or so and occasionally dozens of them would suddenly start divebombing the campsite. Was funny and deeply unsettling at the same time, these birds were massive!

I just know that name from a Beans On Toast song!
