is it always in that location? OK you can’t stop it raining up North but surely there are drier places to put the event or bits what won’t flood as easy?
Mysteryland managed it and thats in a country where much is below sea level and they have to pump water away to keep the north sea out..
also I still feel if there were more events allowed down south there wouldn’t be so much traffic and crowds and then they could have used a drier bit of the available land..
Yeh I think its always in the same place. From what I saw the ground wasn’t very flat and the arena and most of the tents were at the bottom of the hills.
Also I heard that they had not sorted drainage out properly and there were just massive puddle everywhere at least 3ft deep.

fucks sake! no wonder English events are going down the tubes. anyone with half a brain and experience in event management (which I think you can even study at uni these days) should have seen the weather conditions this year, loads of mainstream things like livestock shows round my way got stopped due to weather. And EA is one of the driest English regions compared to others. this will have totally fucked their brand and their cashflow for many years…
I doubt I will have enough free time to go to a event like that for 2-3 years but by that time I should have learned enough Dutch to go to somewhere like mysteryland and the surroundings and not stand out like a obvious buitenlander
I’m not counting on Europe being as friendly and open a place as it was in the 90s but if you can speak the local language it helps loads, (even if people speak English in a party crowd you still have to interact with normal folk) at least skin colour doesn’t matter quite as much these days and there are Asian people in Holland too 😉
they’ve got them expensive signs here, I’m surprised they don’t say “THETFORD FOREST? DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT” on the A14…
We got them too, when the second year of the beachdown fest got canceled at the very last minute cos the promoters didn’t have any money to pay the artists the signs said the fest was closed.
this BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat report explains what the refund amounts are and how to get them.
