Video

That's an understatement.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome thanks for the video, found it hard to actually get an honest opinion on the fest. I work with a small indie fest no more than 400ppl, we would not get away with doing stuff like this. I get his idea and its a shift in the right direction, butttt its the 'idea' of a indie festival with lame'o corp management still

I'm getting some interesting reactions from people for being honest about this. You've nailed that. Anyone else would be dragged through hell for delivering an event like this. The core idea is great, very admirable and I wanted it to be good, unfortunately the delivery left a lot on th table and was severely lacking. Now, a 400 person event sounds really cool and intimate. Consider my interest piqued.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome I think its such a powerful thing human beings congregating to dance and let loose to music, it makes me feel a little giddy inside when festivals and tribal gatherings are so corporate and white washed. Everyone should bring a little something something to the table, equal contributions of each individuals speciality. For the people by the people. Personally I don't really like big crowds, anything over 3000 and I get disorientated. I like connection and to feel at home with everyone on a site and respected by the organisers fully. I can appreciate mass gatherings and the need to cater to something that volume, but personally I just don't vibe with it. The events industry is in a strange place right now, I think more independents need to clobber together and organise more gatherings with their crews and their crews crews .. Have you ever thought about a fest .. these things don't have to be mass scale and la-de-da .. gatherings of humans, music, talent, creativity, acceptance, freedom.... Rambling

Let's say.... it wasn't a good first run at a festival. I'm glad other people managed to have a fun day and some didn't have these issues, but there's a lot who had it way worse than me.

Holy crap. Is your daughter OK?

​@@brickinmouthsyndromeshe is now yes but was very scary when it happened whilst penned in at entrance we were stuck at and the security reaction was frankly disgusting, the paramedics told me that they weren't allowed to hand out water, they wanted to take her straight to medic tent but she had to sit on chair on verge of passing out whilst security demanded to check our bags, ironically the medic tent 50 yards from our entrance and queue had crates of water sitting in ice and seemed to be reserved only for those that passed out rather than handing out and actually preventing it. They were also very under staffed, our entrance had about 8 or 9 security gates with only 3 gates open.

Wow that's so messed up. Do you mind if I put these posts in my video about the issues on the day?

​@@brickinmouthsyndrome No not at all, go for it mate, I was vocal on the bludfest posts i noticed a lot of the people reporting on it their comments would disappear, a lot of YBs super fans are seemingly very enamoured and seem to think queuing 4/5 hours is perfectly normal some were even blaming me for not being prepared for it but we all seen how shit it was. But yeah go for it dude :)

If you'd rather do it in your own words, please feel free. You can send a video or a link to a video over to my email brickinmouthsyndrome@gmail.com.

It's honestly totally fine. I know how I come across on here in text form. It doesn't give the inflection and tone of what I say, and how I say it. And an artist like Yungblud people are very protective and defensive of. I expected people to assume I'm after the worst. I'm always happy with people to come say hi, at Download each year I have people asking for selfies and it's not an issue. Everyone on here interacting with me, watching my garbage are the ones giving me my platform. Do what ever I can for everyone on here. Its why I am critical of everything. I don't want it to fail, I want it to get better. I want more grassroots festivals, I want more affordable music events, I want life post rona to be amazing for everyone. Thank you for giving me a chance, I do appreciate it.

I am trying to take a measured approach to this. He may be the name, face and head of all of this going on, he may also have had final say.... But I refuse to believe the actions and inaction of so many others can be squarely blamed on Dom. He has to speak up, he has to do better if he ever does this event again. But I refuse to blame him entirely and directly. That's a committee that organised this, this lays on them.

Because on the outside looking in, it's a stupid idea. How it was described made it a childish laughing stock that was rife for abuse. However, how it was used was very good and effective. People turned the garden area into a really nice chill hangout spot. And it wasn't about making friends with lonely children.

This is why I think the fans will ruin it. Having concerns that the day might not go off without a hitch SOMEHOW means I am "hating so much". No, there's some questionable choices that have been made. And I'm allowed to voice my concerns. I hope the day is good and I'm wrong.

His fans are awful. I just love his music and stay out of the rest.

Wow, I'm gonna have to go through that faq with a fine tooth comb today then.

@brickinmouthsyndrome yeah just have a good look

Camping chairs are not allowed. Flags are not allowed. Monopod stools are allowed, at the back of the arena. Please read all the info that's available. More came out in an email this evening.

And the chairs are ONLY allowed in if you have a medical condition.

It's so different from any other one day event. I just don't get it. Can't wait to get grief for just showing people what actually is going to go on and not sugar coating it.

Hopeful, but so concerned how this turns out. Very concerned as well that the core, target audience will ruin this.

Nice channel you have there.

They really turned a bunch of wet, tired, miserable people back onto party mode.

They really did bring something special. For that set, all the pain went away.

Don't remember asking.

You think of that yourself?

I've noticed this the past few years. There's always someone with a bike. I THINK, not 100% on this so I don't know for sure, they might be staff. A special variety that's allowed a bike. Ill be sure to ask them next time.

They did, this was the second one they did over the weekend. I was..... Preoccupied at camp the day before.

I had to cut SOOOO much of it out to get this under 45 mins. I might do a full uncut release of the chilli eating once I'm through this year's DL footage. James B was an absolute trooper,

It's all good, just do what everyone else does and screw over the traffic flow.

Came and said hello in the Dogtooth om the Saturday, you were right about that all girl band, they were worth watching. BTW if you missed Pantera as planned they were sh1t hot...!

AltBlkEra were great. Glad someone could enjoy Pantera. Think I clocked a bit of it distantly, was alright. Just can't stand Phil personally.

Gonna be one Ep a week for now, every Saturday. Got a lot going on atm. The stripper thing was weird. I'm not a fan of it. But it made for a funny segment.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome i did laugh, i have to say!

You probably heard my Mrs shouting it back. Was a good camp to be in again, regardless of the walkways.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome aye probably dude was a good laugh in purple…was pretty nice to get straight into the walkways 🤘

Purple has always been a nice mix of party and chill. Do love it there.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome well me and my partner are gonna try and go as customers every year from now on..hope to meet up next year share a beer or two 🤘🤘

Lol nope

Im darting around all 4 stages that day, probably the best chance to run into me wandering about.

There's so many possibilities at this point it's crazy. Who knows what it'll be anymore.

I'll cya there for FFAF! Just don't mind the cameras.

I just had to do a Google.... HOLY CRAP IM GOING!

I know right! Gimmie Dat Radio X playlist!

Might be able to catch Ne Obliviscaris, looks like they're on at a time with a bunch of "maybe" bands I have on my list. Think I'll catch the back half of A7x, the used have cancelled on me more than them. They've only done it the once.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome i'm well annoyed i'm not going, even for the day!

I'm lookin forward to how much of a car crash Bludfest is gonna be. I get that ADHD is one of the marketing moves of for ole Yungblud, but that's not how you organise a festival.

@@brickinmouthsyndrome he's literally on the bandwagon...
