I went last year and it was alright, but not loud enough. Drum and Bass doesn't work that well without bass.

I can imagine this individual is dead chuffed that Christmas and New Year is done and dusted so they can continue to fulfil their life with a relentless, bitter campaign against people enjoying themselves and dancing to music in Brockwell Park in the upcoming summer months.

I would wager its a lone individual who, as part of the set up, has invented themselves an organisational name in the hope it lends them a bit more credibility.

I think it's Arabic for girl.
Bint el Sudan is still, reportedly, the most popular perfume in Africa.
'Bint El Sudan' non-alcoholic perfume, created in 1920 by W.J. Bush & Co, was once the world's best selling fragrance
The story of 'Bint El Sudan' starts with Eric Burgess, a commission salesman for W.J. Bush & Co., and a happy encounter with Sudanese tribesman bearing vials of fragrance

Bit like Dubstep, works better with walls.

Wonder if that is becoming normal in other festivals elsewhere

If it is going to become the norm, I certainly won't be so keen to keep promoting them months in advance.

Buzzed: Lambeth set to out source the Country Show prioritising savings over tradition for the 50th anniversary of the Brockwell event
"Worryingly the idea of ending the Country Show has also been considered by the Council. The plan was to incorporate this into Brockwell Bounce, the free family festival that takes place during the May half term break"

Anyone going to Wide Awake, we got free resident tickets. Can't wait, line up looks great.

How near does one have to be to get residents tickets out of interest?

I think they've taken down the criteria on the website now but I think it's adjoining roads to Tulse Hill, Dulwich Rd, Norwood Rd etc. You get to choose which of the 3 festivals you want to go to over that w/e.

hopefully not gimboid
my freinds who live on dulwich road have never managed to get tickets :/

Got tickets the first year but feel like they may have broadened their catchment area and possibly reduced the amount of tickets that they offer as a sweetener to the local community.

“A surprising stat from last year is the age demographic. This suggests that older people attend the Show, rather than young families. Most attendees fell into older age brackets: 55-64 25%, 45-54 24%, 35-44 23%.”.
We are getting older alright!

Part of the reason I asked DJWrongspeed is I had started to wonder if residents tickets just weren’t very well advertised and you’ve got to know where to search. Tbf I think we’re out of the allowed area anyway.

Good piece in the Guardian today: Britain’s public parks are a green lifeline – stop fencing them off for the summer | Rebecca Tamás
All 3 previous years of Wide Awake they had in addition to the main bars a row where several independent breweries each ran their own stall. A lot of choice from them all selling a few options.
This year that’s been replaced by one large festival run craft beer bar. Only had 6 beers on.
So much reduced choice, and lost some of the character the festival had. Gone more commercial.
The main bars were still just Brewdog and best avoided.

I don’t know if the walled off space is bigger this year, slightly differently located or if they had more ways you could go through before the actual events start, but I feel my cycle to work needs a much larger detour than it did last year.

And fucking Brewdog shite everywhere.

Enjoyed WideAwake, plenty of good moments. It wasn't loud enough at points but Modeselektor in the Corsica tent were bangin at the end with a beautiful sunset over the city.
Terrible drink prices. Never seen Young Fathers before, quite a unique band.
