Ahhh - I got all excited when I thought the Sister were playing in London! Oh well, never mind. I liked the Mission too but just loved the Sisters, as did Mr Toker.

Anyway, from what I can tell, BD looks good to me. For some reason I have the thought in my head that you can drive your car right to the campsite - is that right? The idea of not having to lug everything across the site is very tempting (if a little lazy) but there is no way I'd be happy to leave my car in the campsite at any of the fests I have been to! Have I got some duff information?

Hauling my stuff from A to B is not a problem - have been to enough festivals to have got acting like a pack horse down to a fine art! Not that a teleporter wouldn't be handy though!

To be honest, my question was more based around the practicalities of having your car on site - don't get me wrong, I don't drive an Aston Martin or Bentley or anything, but I would be paranoid about having my car near to loads of trashed people!

I have been to all but one of the Beautiful Days festivals and I have never worried about leaving my car in the car park, unlike other festivals. Also if you get there early enough and camp at the top of the family/quiet camping field you won't have far to walk with all your stuff. We were literally 3 minutes away from our car this year, so it was great for leaving things in the car until they were needed. I think BDs is the safest and best festival I have ever been to and will definitely be going again next year.

I agree, definitely worth going. :) As for camping near the car, easier for us whilst daughter is still in a buggy and doesn't have to walk anywhere. We may have to reconsider where we camp in the future when she is a bit older and has to walk.

      Sabrina I actually think is alright, but as an overall thing including Fontaines in the mix it does look very boring.

      I went to the O2 show as had cheap NHS tickets. I did love the whole Machine Gun Kelly vs MGK Emo/Pop Punk stuff amusing and could see that show going down well. I thought it was so funny watching the video skits of a die hard old skool fan gradually morphing in to an Emo Kid. That show with less old Machine Gun Kelly tunes and more MGK Pop-Punk would be ace.   Pair him against a heavy act on the other stage and jobs a goodun,

      Not sure if this is allowed, but I have an additional daily ticket which I’m willing to sell for a heavily reduced price. If you, or someone you know wants to go that day, but wouldn’t for the original price, let me know.    Edit: It’s for Friday

      Choosing  I think boycotting a festival you would usually attend simply because you don't like one of the acts is pretty petulant to be honest, just go and watch a different stage. There are plenty of the usual slam dunk attendees who would be into him, as well as attracting new festivalgoers too.
