Me and Download have broken up for good and BA seems to get rave reviews by everyone who has gone. Cheap as chips, my favourite size for a festival and all the spooky Norwegian bollocks does it for me. I've been but I think it was 12 years ago, so it might have changed some what. I loved it though. It was easy to get to - a short walk from train station IIRC, good size, everything was cheaper, all very well organised, great view of main stage wherever you stand. There was a great inside movie area that played (some really niche) horror films all day, which was good to get away from the heat sometimes. Only thing that might be a problem for some is the camping was in a public park when I went - just outside the festival area, we had no issues or problems with it, and didn't hear anyone else who did either. It was just a bit strange. Quote

A lot of what @Twatters said was right, but they do now have proper camping areas too. I'm probably going to go again next year. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted November 28, 2023 Members Posted November 28, 2023 Phwoar. Thursday into Shikari seems like a very much me booking. Very special guest on that Sunday 4th stage down. Couldn't be Deftones could it? Seeing as Crosses are right before it? Surely that's a tent and that would be madness right? Right???? Or am I going to need to look at flights? Quote

Seeing as Crosses are right before it? They kissed and made up with Manowar after their tiff the other year. Only joking of course. Thats a hell of a line up though. My takeaway from it though is that I Am Morbid being over hopefully means they’ll make it over here at some point seen as they skipped doing the 30th Anniversary of ‘Covenant’. Similar with Immolation, been wanting to see them for a long time UPDATE: Therapy?’s social media has actually spoilt the 4th Stage Sunday Special Guest slot.

Merzbow Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 90's screamo kids Orchid have reunited, I've heard the vocalist is supposedly shockingly bad these days but if the tour comes to the UK you can be sure of me trekking to it. Quote
