Riverside Festival

First time to the Riverside festival for me and there was none of the issues I had heard had occurred at previous events. The token system worked well and meant minimum queuing for booze which is always a bonus when you don’t want to miss to much of the acts on stage.
The crowd was a real mix and the majority seemed to be up for enjoying a great day out. The age range seemed to vary between 17 and 59 which made for a good atmosphere. I loved that it was all cans so no need for plastic cups from the bar and though the range was limited, I was happy enough with the options on offer. Music wise I loved vitalic and felix the housecoat most of all. Sadly I did not try the food on offer as instead I went for pre and post meals with fellow Unilocalers.
Great day out, in a cool location and with an awesome backing track. My boiler suit, dust mask and glow sticks also blended me in perfect with the crowd.
Why 4 stars and not 5? A can of strongbow costing 4 quid a pop was just a bit pricey for me!

Sooo I’m a raver baby… So why don’t you kill me. Remember that song?
My first time at a techno festival and riverside was a good one. Cool place to have a festival. Tour busses going by as the ravers are Queuing. A real mix of people and a real mix of age groups. Great big space to have an event in, at first I couldn’t imagine how it was going to pan out! Drinks tokens made the bar Q go quick. Main stage had multiple acts including 2 Many DJ’s and Vitallic. This all kicked off at 4.30. Act after act and this kept going till well after 11! Unfortunately my before festival eats I was to full to have anything from the Smoke Van or breaking bread but I’m sure I will get round to them eventually. All bars were well stocked until they ran out of cider.
This sounds gross but men and female port a loo’s is the way to go! No massive Q’s and still a bit Minging but not as bad as I e seen!
