Once a year. I wouldn't worry, even though such events are not my 'scene'.

It's the reassuring sound that the world is still turning.

Yea I should not and am not really. Just grumpy this morning lol

Perhaps you should "Go away" on holiday whilst the noisy festival is on......

And why the fk should I do that when I live 10+ miles away? I never been and issue in past years. Its not like I live in the same town.......



ETA

Play nicely now!

Form vigilante groups to smash up the site and beat up festival goers. That's what blokes at work were suggesting in the Seventies. I kept quiet and didn't say I was going.

Quo, Faces, Nazareth, Curved Air. Marvellous.

Haha worth a go!

You consider that trolling.

It's a reasonable suggestion.

Really? So I should plan a holiday on the off chance a festival, in another town that has never caused an issue over the last several years might be louder?

Totally reasonable.

What a jobsworth.

Wind your neck in - stop complaining.

It's people like you that buy a house next to an established race track and complain about the noise.

Yawn.. if it was next door then I'd agree.

Anger management classes will help, OP.

Or...

One of his neighbours has it on iplayer and has a surround sound system.

Pretty sure my 84 year old neighbor does not even use iplayer, never mind a sound system. The other neighbour's are not neighbour's as they are a mile away.

Sound refraction due to hotter air at altitude causing the festival noise to curve downwards some distance from the source. Not much anyone can do to control atmospheric conditions.

Every day is a school day, thanks.
And as per one of the other posters, it was loud in the morning when I posted, it is not now (apart from the odd sound).

So far this thread has been fun

I'm 12 miles south as the crow flies - can't hear a thing.

West or east? I'm west of the festival.

Been to lots of gigs and some festivals and normally it's been disappointing. With larger gigs then often you're so far away you're lucky if you can make out the band on stage through the sea of brightly lit smartphones held aloft, and even if you can then they're matchstick small. You queue for hours and pay a fortune for a watered down Carling in a plastic glass. On top of this then there's the ever present threat of some d*ckhead launching a pint of their own piss high into the air from somewhere behind you.

Not even sure I even get it from a listening to music perspective as the sound quality at a gig is always far inferior to listening to the bands album on a good stereo system at home. Plus the band will normally subject you to an hours worth of their new cr*p before reeling out the classic tunes that everyone came to hear anyway. Wonder why I still bother sometimes!
