Yellow_Fellow Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Mine would be to ban any fancy dress. Damn, if you're in fancy dress, you're there for the image, simple as that. What's your change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacant0 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Bring in a late night area - Arcadia, Lost Vagueness, anything really. That or mandatory fancy dress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rare2die Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Bring back the Aftershock tent at Leeds! Or provide a fancy dress outfit with every ticket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Attack Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Make it an 18+ event, maybe? Would change the demographic a bit, change the sort of bands they'd book, change the atmosphere... would be unfair to the younger people who actually go for the music, though.

thetime Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Change the whole laws on the times bands finish, 10.30-11pm is damn awful. Then you wouldn't need late night entertainment with some dodgy DJs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

504329lt Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Move campervans back to Red. I will never go again while campervans are stuck over in that White field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcademicPistol Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 1. Zip wires and slides to and from various locations around the site. 2. The ground around the stages to made up completely of trampolines. 3. Manditory fancy dress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insideaway Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Take the nme stage out of the tent and have 2 open air stages. Ban children under atleast 14, way to many children at both leeds last year and download this year. Also would make the line up posters they sell at leeds the leeds order rather than the reading order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The only 2 festivals that would never change sites is reading and glastonbury. Except it already has. It's a festival that originally existed outside of Reading, and then moved to Reading. It's a festival that has happened or attempted to happen (I forget which) near Reading but away from the Richfield Ave site. It's a festival that even on the Richfield Ave site is now sited quite a way from where it originally was (which was at the Caversham Bridge end of the road). So nerrr.

Vieuphoria Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 But yeah I do wish they'd move it out abit further. Just so the noise restrictions weren't such a pain in the ass leaving Reading with a lot less stuff that Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieuphoria Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Of course it's part of the criteria. If I can't afford to go, then I can't go. I don't have much money, so I save and go to ones that are most appealing/cheapish to get to. If cost wasn't an issue i'd go to all the festivals I wanted to, but I can't afford to. Surely this is the same idea of having the same festival in the north and the south too? So each site is closer to those of either side.

mikecloud1984 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ban anyone who is not their for a full festival experience. No word of a lie - this happened to me back in 2006. Queing for the bogs, as you do, when to young ladies (17/18) dressed up to the nines. Designer wellies, sunflower in a the hat they woudnlt normally wear, hotpants and a can of strongbow......you know the type. One of them turns to the other and says "I know what we can do, how about we head back to the campsite for a bit, then to the arena and then we can go back to the hotel to wash our hair and have a shower before heading back for *insert innane pop punk band here*" I turned around and just stood there is utter disbelief that these girls had pitched a tent in a campsite but had a hotel room to go to "incase things got too much" - ridiculous. If you are not prepared to stink, not wash, drink till you cant see and generally enjoy all the festuival has to offer....GTFO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 ^I think there's some very good advantages to girls at festivals being clean and hygienic, especially by the 4/5th day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
