I'm really pleased that I've succeeded in knocking together a comprehensive and free Android app for eFestivals.

Hi I hope you guys don't mind but I wanted to share with you a new festival that I have just seen. Its called the "Rock & Metal Circus Festival" and is being held on September 20 - 22 2013 in Bromsgrove.
Ity looks like a really cool festival for those who like Rock and Metal music. It is based around new and upcoming bands from the UK and will have a couple of really cool known headline bands as well. It seems there is camping and caravan hook up, hot showers, clean loo's and loads more. Lo
Thank you for viewing this blog. My overall intention is to provide people with first hand accounts of my festival experiences and in doing so give you advise and direction on planning your own tips/holidays.

The idea of traveling all the way across Europe to Hungary for a music festival is a large task. My first impressions where, "Why not stay local". I live in Belfast, Ireland so the availability of festivals across the Irish sea in Britain are many.
People in Belfast are u
My own visits to camping festivals are over for another summer, and despite officially being the wettest summer on record I've not seen that much mud.
Last summer I went to eight camping festivals. In every case there was more rain than any sensible festival goer would want, much use of wellies (tho I did get away with properly-waterproof trainers once or twice), and it was often far colder than you'd expect even with a British summer (the official stats confirm last summer as colder than thi
Hi,
I'm looking at marketing of UK music festivals for my dissertation and would be extremely grateful if you could answer 10 quick questions for me.
It will only take you 3 minutes but would be much appreciated!

Payola was a big thing in the past; it probably still goes on - taking money from record companies to feature their products on mainstream radio to help push sales - but it's probably so engrained into the music biz now that it's no longer considered a scandal. From a moral point of view it probably makes bankers look honest.
There's a second version of payola, which works within what is known as journalism. It's not actually journalists who do it of course, because writing fiction is not wha
I'd say not, but as I've only viewed it from the M1 what do I know? Is there much to love about Luton?
Anyway, the 'Love Luton' event - I hesitate to use the word 'festival' - offers a line-up including The Wanted. And Olly Murs. I can't say it's top of my own list of where to go this summer.
Tickets are now £15, and anyone who bought at ticket at the previous higher price will be sent a free extra ticket.
Hello All,
Hopefully no one minds me using this forum for some unadulterated self promotion !!
I just returned to the UK after 4 years working on international festivals. Im looking for employment and was wondering if anyone here was "in the know". My last project was launching RFID and cashless systems of payment at a 7 day music festival of 30,000 and as this hasn't yet been achieved large scale in the UK im hoping that might give me an edge.
I was Event manager for this festival and
I went to a really cool festival a couple of years ago called SunDance. They are having another one this year in October.
It is in Turkey. It had a really great vibe with lovely friendly people. It's small which I really liked as you feel completely safe with everyone looking out for each other.
It was on a private beach, surrounded by mountains, forest and ancient ruins. We were dancing in the sea. Absolutely stunning!
The music is a variety of different genres ranging from electro hou
The weather has been dreadful lately, it's hard to believe that the country is suffering a drought. And last summer's festival weather was dreadful too, the worst I've encountered across a summer since I started running eFestivals back in 2000.
With this year's summer festival season just about to start, I'm betting there's lots of festival organisers and festival goers wondering when it'll stop.
For some they're now in the two-week range, when the more reputable weather forecasters are pr
eFestivals moved premises in mid-January. A move of phone services from one premises to another should be an easy task for any competent business to manage.
And yet...
- BT took the order wrongly.
- BT failed to fulfil the order properly.
- BT did the bits they did several days later than they should have.

The cancellation of some of the more major festivals this year have brought a lot of easy headlines for newspapers and the music press, with a raft of reasons suggested as the cause - the olympics, the recession, poor bookings, expensive tickets, and the like.
Those things are of course in the mix and it would be foolish to dismiss the effect they have, but there's much more going on to effect the festivals scene than just those.
Back in 2006 I wrote this article titled "Regulation, Retro

People often ask who my favourite band are, or what the best album or best song ever made is, and my mind always goes blank, or I can't come up with a convincing argument for a single candidate. So I started thinking about what the best festival performance I've ever seen is. Now, firstly, I can't remember half of them, so this was from the beginning a fairly futile task, but everyone loves a good list, so this is what I came up with. Let me know what yours are, if you can remember.

Hello!
I am currently looking for traders for a new festival in the South West area. We plan to only take on a few, as to not create a conflict of interest between exhibitors and to lessen competition. We are specifically looking for traders specialising in anything from face-painting, hula hoop sales, poi, etc - anything except food or drink. Expected ticket sales are in the region of 800+, the festival dates are 25th - 27th May and there will be a small exhibitor pitch fee.
