I’ve not been to Drumsheds, but have been to several nights at WHP. To me (being from near Sheffield), Drumsheds seems more of a pain for accomodation/getting to, with it being seemingly in the middle of nowhere, compared to WHP, which is city centre, near hotels etc. Maybe trying to draw 10,000 people each night out of London is proving more difficult than they thought?
Good point there. Not sure many not Brits would get his garlic bread joke. But hats off to Emily and the team for considering a comedian for a Pyramid Stage headliner.
I can only talk for Leeds, which doesn’t seem as bad as Reading in general for trouble.
2021 was really bad for campsite trouble but it was the first festival of any kind in two years; people lost their heads like wild bloody animals. Horrible, horrible festival. The worst I’ve ever been to.
2022 was nowhere near as bad. Atmosphere was way more like a normal Leeds.
2023 I didn’t go.
2024 I didn’t see any d*ck head behaviour at all either in the arena or the campsites (and I had a walk around nearly every campsite over the course of the weekend). All of the aggro characters had been replaced with bored ones.
I don’t think booking Travis Scott would attract any different a crowd to who turns up any other year in recent years, tbh. The festival is already full of his target audience. Travis Scott and Eminem? Maybe, who knows? I’m not so sure, myself.
