Application to increase numbers from 12,000 to 14,000, presumably for this year as comments needed by Feb 2013

Makes sense, considering the bigger headliners they have.

Ha. 10,000, 15,000, 12,000, 14,000, hard to keep up with which particular line is being fed. I suspect comments are largely superfluous.

Oh FFS.

If I wanted to go to Latitude, I'd go to Latitude*. The continual evolution of EoTR into Just Another Festival continues.

I wish NDH was still running, I'd be inclined to go to that instead. Right now the No Value Crew are the only ones that make it worthwhile.

*Nothing against Latitude, it's just...viva la difference, you know?

Seems a bit strange given the capacity was at least 15,000 last year (12,000 adult tickets were sold - plus youngsters, workers, guests et al)

Still, there was plenty of room - in fact the woods stage was, if anything, a bit sparse at times.

And Latitude is 35,000 plus extras.

14,000 would still make it 6,000 less than Green Man for example.

It's fine. They're just making room for The Polyphonic Spree

[Maoster]

Lets wait and see. If it does grow again this will be our last year. Although the Woods stage is fine I do miss that particular magic of seeing great bands on the Garden stage, although I do appreciate the need for the organisers to make it work commercially.

Just came across this, so obviously despite representations from Dorset Organic Badger Watch, The League Against Cruel Sports and the Sherlock Holmes Society, they got their planning permission:
