Get naked!
I went once, forget what year, probably about 6-7 years ago
The Chili Peppers played
It was the shittest festival ever created
Anyone who goes should be shot, or at least sent to a proper festival
after 11 o'clock everything shuts and you HAVE to go back to your tent
Back at the campsite your not allowed to have a camp fire and get told off for walking around with a sock on your cock
The chilis were playing FFS!
what a shit festival

fucksake. i hate the snobbery of this place sometimes...we're all so wacky and alternative...
i'm thinking of going to V next year, if me laddo gets freebies again - and i like the line-up.
does this make me un-urbanz?
gutted, if so.

TBF going for a day wouldn't be so bad if the bands are good.
But when I go to camp at a festival, the camping is part of the fun, running round naked meeting new and strange people, sitting round the camp fire tripping/pilling your nuts off

Not being funny, but a festival that finishes at 11 and your not allowed to do anything at the camp site (especially have a camp fire) is a shit festival in my book

maybe foo, but was he wacky enough to run around naked and all that?
i bet not
he did actually - his mate sent me a photo of him from behind running after his boxers. i'm glad it was from behind tbf.
he didn't wear a dress though - so he's probably not wacky enough for urbanz.

not allowed to do anything at the campsite? oh grow up, are you one of those people that only do what you are allowed to do? or was it that not enough people were impressed with your sock puppet?

no but having a camp fire would be nice.
being able to wonder round and chat to people at 3 in the morning would be nice.
in fact being able to wonder round other peoples camp sites would be nice too
sorry if you think thats asking too much from a festival for my £150

you weren't allowed to go through other camp sites when I went
There was fences all over the place to stop you
the festival fun police werer there when I went (like I said it was about 6-7 years ago) things might of changed since then

What is the point then?
you're comparing a very small festival - one that by its own admission cut back on line-up (and ticket prices) to survive - that charges about a 1/3 per ticket that V does, with a massive corporate venture, on the grounds of two bands picked at random from a very varied, although not "big name" Endorse It! programme.
That's just shallow and mindless. Aside from the massive difference in ticket prices, it fails to take into account atmosphere, fun, freedom (all night entertainment, camp where you want, bring your own beer) and general laidbackness. People don't go to Endorse It solely for the bands, but I can't think of any other reason than the acts that you'd go to V.
You'd be better comparing V to a festival in a similar price range, such as Glastonbury, and then compare the infinitely more varied entertainment, bigger line-up (if that's what you want), absolute freedom of movement and entertainment 24 hours a day for 4 days etc etc etc etc. As well as atmosphere and all the other stuff that people tend to look for in a festival beyond simply a list of big acts on sponsored stages.
Not a criticism of people who go to V and enjoy it - each to their own - but to compare Endorse It with V and then claim V wins by line-up?
Yes, you've missed the point.
