Why so early? Presume the weekend before the Bank Holiday.

More chance of sun.... :angry:

I'm hoping Endorse it is the week before - that would be the 9th.

I'm out for this party next year, going to Tartan Heart as usual the weekend before, then fly out to Amsterdam for a couple of days before going to Lowlands for the weekend :lol:

Booked my flights yesterday!

Am sure it will be a blast though... I will miss it and will return in 2009 :lol:

I'm in the mood to kill my disorganised and shambolic brother now. He'll be 50 next year, actual birthday not til November, but he is organising a private mini festival/party in a beautiful location in Wales. It's a grand idea in itself and we really really want to go, but he is currently threatening 'Mid August', jeoparding either Endorse It or BD for us. Trying to pressureise him to hold it the very first weekend of August, but he's in the hands of some professional muisicians who'll be playing for him, and their uncertain diaries ...

If I had no choice but to sacrifice one of BD or Endorse It, Endorse It is the one I'd least like to lose of them, not least because we already have tickets, but also because there were well over 50 Urban and other mates of mine there last year, and Deb is desparate to go, I told her such good stories.

<rings brother again for more date-badgering!>

Good news and Bad news :

Good :

The Beautiful Days vs Brotherfest clash that I was for ages fearing, is now OFF.

Beautiful Days all the way for 2008 with no rival family demands over 15-17 August -- we will be going to Escot, oh yes! B)B)B):D

<plans ticket buying through the fanclub members route next week>

Bad :

The dilemma now transfers itself to the weekend of Endorse It In Dorset (8-10 August). which has recently become the official 50th Birthday BrotherFest weekend too :P:(:lol::P

I am currently wailing and gnashing my teeth about that, but we will soon progress to cooking up plots to resolve the unresolveable. Possibly not excluding fratricide** ...

**not really. I don''t think! :D

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
