The following psytrance is baṉned: All
It's reggae/ska/dub during the day. Drum'n'bass at night. It's not a big field with tents in, it's an artificial 'downtown' with streets to wander and get lost in, with tiny venues/stalls/odd things behind fake building frontages. It's "full of munters" apparently

I reckon you would proper hate it. Maybe it's too full of munters, maybe if there were just one more it would form some kind of munt singularity and fall straight through the earth...maybe
Which part of 'epic lineup' are you struggling with then TC?

TBF I think it had already exceeded munter saturation density last year.
One overspill effect was people still munted by Monday lunchtime. They could barely walk, never mind pack their stuff up. I don't know what would have happened to them. Munter landfill?

so looking forward to this. it's the only festival i'm doing this year so it had better be even better than last year!
Just googled, looks you're right about the venue. Not a bad choice. The bowl works well I think, adds to the vibe of being in an enclosed world. And still easy to get to for Londoner's (although last year's venue was probably the ultimate... It took me 90 mins from Euston, to get my tent pitched! And way easier for those coming from the Midlands and the North).
Another good thing about Matterley bowl is that it recovers from rain incredibly quickly. IIRC it's natural drainage, something to do with chalk.
As for police probs, what was claimed by Glade was that the police wanted to up their numbers, which meant a higher bill. Maybe Boomtown have factored that in to their budgets. (fwiw the ticket price this year is *alot* more than last year, in %ge terms.)

i've seen information suggesting it's somewhere else entirely.

They've said Hampshire haven't they, and there aren't that many venues in Hampshire.

Someone told me their friend's sister's boyfriend's Irish cousin overheard someone say they knew where it was, but it might not be there, it might somewhere else entirely.

I must be going blind - whereabouts does it mention Dorset?

It does but not on the home page, look where it says available shifts and scroll down.
Dorset is only 40 miles from Winchester....so not all that much further from London, though it puts it well outside the 'hour's drive west of London' that was promised...
Of course we could all just wait a couple of days till they email us where it will be....fun as idle speculation can be...

I think they've copied and pasted the info from Camp Bestival maybe?
Could well be. There's a couple of other sources plumping for Matterley Bowl
So is there an urban camping zone? Is camping extra? Can you drive onto the site and camp by / in a vehicle?
Apparently you're DJing there!!

Any chance of a plus one, please mate?
