I don't know who you are @polo0222 - two posts in two years? - I'm guessing you made an alt account to hide your main log in.
Anyway, I spent hours making the map you seem to claim as your own work, why did you feel the need, I have already distributed it on these forums and on facebook.
Are you still going to publish V.2? That may be interesting
yeah I was on a bit of a hill and woke to water running through my tent, I think had stopped raining by then. Walked past that flooded area and was actually worried that there could be some casualties, people drowning in their tents etc
Thanks, thought it was mostly the other side that flooded but wasn't sure. Like I said, that whole stretch is basically a flood plain (no idea if it is officially, but it ought to be.) Have you ever crossed the causeway at Swarkestone Bridge when the whole thing has been flooded? Makes you realise why the causeway was needed back in the day.
Seems like there's often been the threat of cancellation due to rain, as well as rumours and possibilities, but very little evidence of any big festivals ever actually being cancelled for rain and rain alone. 2016 was on a knife edge, I think that's official, from Emily's own mouth, but it was more to do with traffic management issues that the rain caused, so you'd hope that they now have a backup plan in place. As health and safety seems like it's actually been going backwards since we left the EU, (don't get me started on "Not for the EU" labels!!!) I just can't see it happening, unless we were to get crazy amounts of rain in the run in. *TOUCH WOOD
No, it was beautiful, at least where we were in Derbyshire, see my previous reply to you. (And the attached photo of the 23rd, one of the 'live' days. Or the screenshot below.)
Dunno what it was like elsewhere that week in particular, but it was so consistently nice here, (and elsewhere other weeks) that I can't see it being that different... 2020 and 2021 felt like the most incredible summers, only to be ruined by Covid. 😞
yeah was dry in the lead up to... just watching a few news reports ..... pretty hard to sleep in that and even some of the better tents had water coming in ... I remember trying to divert several pools of water in the tent to run outside . rain does always sound much worse inside tents mind
Been bored this morning and wondering who were likely to see in the next announcement. Obviously there’s a lot of crossover with the likes of Mad Cool, Nos and Pinkpop so thought I’d get an idea of how many acts we might still have to come from their lineups:
Pinkpop
2024 fest - Pinkpop announced 27 in the first announcement - 11 played RW
2025 fest - Pinkpop announced 28 acts in the first announced - so far 6 announced for RW (including Weezer)
Mad Cool
2024 fest - Mad Cool announced 74 in their first announcement - 16 played RW
2025 fest - Mad Cool announced 62 in their first announcement - so far 7 announced for RW (including Weezer)
NOS
2024 fest - NOS announced 20 acts by end of December- 9 played RW
2025 fest - NOS announced 21 acts by the end of December - so far 6 announced for RW
So looks like we’ll still get a good few acts from their lineups. Hoping myself for the likes of Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party, Glass Animals, Confidence Man and Cypress Hil
Oh also apparently Pommelien Thijs have been announced via some Belgium reports
