sounds average, give that a miss
Average I think jim means rubbish,crappie or s..t
Was you invited then? I’m sure you’ll be no great miss.
Average? Why,you’re being far too generous .
Not to bad this year..
Sounds overpriced, give it a miss
What with boomtown lattitude, download, the big chill, etc to go too..can’t understand why the kids even bother with this rubbish..it’s a festival for people with rich daddy’s who can’t even be bothered to take their tents with them when they leave.. a total joke..
Scraping the barrel again with performance. But first your ripped off by the ferries, then the buses or taxis, then the price of entry. I hope the numbers are down again this year and he might get the message. Save yourself money and go and see a real festival on the mainland.
Agree with all the comments, let’s all not support something that puts the island on the map, everyone put your blinkers on and not look at the big picture… Yes the ferry companies will charge the earth, agree or not that is their right, assuming the commenters are on the island, why does that matter to you anyway! If you don’t like the acts, or getting out from behind your keyboards and seeing the sights, don’t go!
Some great bands coming. I’m sure everyone will be having a great time. Hope the weather improves by then.
