this is excellent news.... but also very surprising.

I'm pretty sure there was a big 'we've found our home for years to come' announcement last year. 

Really enjoyed it the last time it was over this way, although what are the chances of it moving again before the summer, I wonder?

Always possible with this fest, i guess, but it's using the same site that's used for Shindig Weekender so I presume it'll work out.

This could be a winner, and I'd love to support it by buying early... but having spoken to so many pi$$ed of londoners whilst at the one in tewkesbury, I'll be waiting til the last couple of weeks

Was Sunrise Festival on that farm, many moons ago?

yep - some of them, anyway. Also Farmfest, which is run by the landowner i think.

So the site is probably a safe site, and unlikely to be 'withdrawn' from One Love.

yeah, I get why .... but I don't really think you can blame One Love for the late move of the fest that year.

The site they were going to use was next to a small airfield, and that plane crash had just happened in Shoreham. I'm not sure who's decision it was to move (the fest, or the site's), but I think it's understandable that someone got too nervous for it to go ahead there.

fair dos - good point - I'd forgotten the detail.

This is all very good news then.
