I had a great time, they've obviously scaled back in some areas, but it looks very much like they've scaled back to a point where they can start working on the details again in the future. I am worried about the year on year price increases, its getting ridiculously pricey now, this year was £305 for me an my campervan, but its undoubtable that the production levels were off the chart as always. The new sound baffling system didn't seem to make too much difference, but I wonder if the scale of the stages its most needed on is the reason for that.
I actually had a much more band focussed time this year, saw some of my teenage favourites (Soulfly), saw bands I've wanted to see for ages (Die Antwoord), and had some new discoveries (Jaya the Cat). Danced to a lot of Soca, and thats something I want to listen to some more of and missed a few things I wanted to see, but hey ho.
Security confiscated my pen knife which means I didn't have anything to cut my avocados and tomatoes with in my campervan, but then were letting people through with 7/8 inch kitchen knives, thats the only real piss take I thought all weekend. They gave me a receipt and told me I could pick it up, but then it took nearly 2 hours to get out the campervan field, by which time the pick up point was closed.
