Got my ticket, can't wait for this. Seems to be more dj-orientated this year and I like it

Was there last year and it was absolutely amazing. I have my ticket for this year already.

30 thousand people in fancy dress, all of em munting thier chops off was a sight to behold.

Loved every single minute of last year, appart from when 'The Dub *cough* cockends *cough* Pistols' did a soundcheck during Mala & Poke's set. The look on Mala's face said it all 'how very unprofessional', I'm sure he was thinkin!

from what I remember of robin hill, (i was bout

theres lots of dffernt worlds/areas spread out across the site, like cowboy and indian land and little towns (like a whole village but scaled down), mazes and that plus loads of big hills with about a millions slides.

A festival there sounds well fun, plus everyone wanderin around dressed up and fucked, pretty sureal.

got any photos of last year about
