EP does indeed rock,

i've been putting together a site to help find out more about it and other festivals with maps, lineups, band videos.

Ep is the only festival there right now, more will come soon - with more stuff too!

Check it out: EP @ Festival Explorer

Let me know what you think!

How's the atmosphere and demographics of EP? I like the line-up way better than Reading et al.

But we are a group of 19-20 y/o so I'm a little bit worried because I heard EP's audience is much older.

So basically how's the audience and do they rock or do they just stand in front of the playing band and move their heads...

On a side note, I was 2 times @ Primavera Sound and although the crowd there is in the 25-30 range it was great.

Thanks

Its no different really. Probably a bit more high class than Oxegen (although to be fair, what is most sewage dumps is classier than a lot of the Oxegen crowd) but its still a young crowd.

Anyone know when the day by day lineups are announced?
