Being as musically backwards as I am, I recognise one band out of the entire line up

Its near Hereford.
Went last year, the buzzcocks headlined. There are trancey dancy areas, but the main stages are more diverse.
Not going this year.

Was it good? My mates are all raving about it.

Well, its all copmparative. Not a patch on events like endorse it/bearded theory/boom town etc - but then few events are that good.
Quite a good atmosphere and i enjoyed it, despite the three foot deep mud last year. Music is OK - lots of hills to be negotiated.

Hello,
I've worked at Nozstock a few times as I already knew half the crew from college (which explains why you might notice there are tonnes of Welsh people there). I'm not going this year though, should be back next year.
It started off as a party in the garden with friends of Pete (the main man), then friends invited their friends, etcetcetc until we had to get a license.
It's a nice friendly festival, there is a psy trance area but it's not on the main drag and is by no means the main part of the festival. I can't recall ever hearing metal there, but it's probably there somewhere if you look for it. Stuff on the stages are very varied, with the main stages (orchard and garden) being taken up with the more well known (locally and nationally) acts and other stuff going on elswhere.
My mate runs the bandstand stage and selects all the acts. Whilst I don't love everything he chooses it's worth spending a while here because some of the artists are interesting and a bit 'different' iycwim.
Basically it's got plenty to do but is not massive or anything.
Gets very busy on the Saturday as many of the locals come for the evening.
I've done stewarding and cafe work there and so far there has been virtually no trouble at all.
Apart from the bands and the psy trance area there's an area called the bullpen which is for harder dance music. Hard house/techno type stuff in one block and Dubstep / Drum and Bass in the big one. If you're into DnB I strongly suggest you go and see Octo-pi dj'ing, yes I am bias because he's a mate but he's fucking amazing and usually blows the headline dj out of the water.
I know this sort of goes without saying but you're basically in someone's garden, so please be respectful of the family, some of whom actually live in small constructions around the site.
The crew are a good bunch but they are often totally knackred and stressed, especially the one's who've been there for 2 weeks setting up, so please play nice.
Also if you have space in your car and you pass people walking up the deadly roads from Bromyard to the site *please* give them a lift, that road is scary as fuck and I've had to walk it a few times. Though this year I think they have a limited festival bus service from some places.
Anyway, you should enjoy. The worst thing is because of the topography of the site if it rains you'll be wading through mud all weekend, but just remember wellies as the shop down the road runs out quick when it rains. And try to camp on higher ground.
Have fun

Small but massive. 7 or 8 stages packed into a few wooded fields. All sorts of stuff going on.
Got wrecked, had fun. Awesome.
