>>Onket Hoping not .... Endorse it would still win for us, but we're keen on Boomtown too if only they have the sense to change the date ....
I'm aware that a few people didn't like not having the main stage outdoors, but the majority of the feedback was very positive. This coupled with NO noise complaints, far more movement between the various things going on, preparation for the weather ( Thursday quote from one of the farmers doing the towing " I have never seen rain like it") all contributed to a better vibe on site and a more fun feel - so it will all be staying under canvas. HOWEVER, we are getting a bigger tent for the main stage and using the main one this year as the second tent.
Despite this festival having hardly any bands I'd heard of, never mind liked, even genre wise and only going with one mate I really knew well, this was easily my most favourite festival of the year. The atmos, the people, the weather, the organisation, all Am blates back next year. Obvs. Please can I run a teeny, tiny hip hop tent/alcove though?
Thanks for the giant sunshade, too - we delicate northern flowers appreciated it! In the diary for next year
Endorse it tickets go onsale on 1st Nov 09. Price is being kept low at £70/adult. In order to improve our green creds, we are charging £5 per car - donations from this will go to green charities and also hopefully encourage lift sharing/public transport usage. and finally on this short note - First band confirmed is....... THE DAMNED!!! lovely job.
I was hoping to go last year, but didn't get round to it. I might make this my only UK-based festie next year. I'm desperate to go to Lowlands too though.
THat was my reaction too! I was going to go anyway, but that has sealed it for me. The Damned - the band that changed my life
OOooooooooooh!!! I want to go. Might make this my annual trip south now cos I'm not doing Glasto. >looks on bright side<
