Personally I thought it was a total letdown to be honest, 7 of the acts I went to see didnt even play due to poor organisation, loads of hassle getting in and camping was full. Plus the whole "VIP" thing was a total joke..!

All in all not impressed..! If I'd actually paid for tickets I'd be absolutely fuming..!

Thoughts anyone?

:)

Well i still saw Matt the festival director there Sunday morning running his arse off to try and get things sorted for the day and get the chew the fat arena fixed after it was decalred unsafe.............. so to say he'd ran off ?????

Look im not taking sides but this is what i mean about fabricated stories? that site was the biggest chinese whisper line in the world this weekend, if that was the case about running off and getting arrested then i couldnt agree with you more mate, but untill we know what realy happend i personaly dont think its right to base judgement on these whispers and the sun newspaper?

Totaly agree that the way things went down wernt right but thers a big difference between a fucked up business model and fraud mate!

Well if these stories are false and being printed then I guess the promoters can sue for slander..! Doesnt escape the catalogue of total fuck ups..! Loo's, ViP??, Rediculous cues, extortionate food/drink prices, no camping spaces on Saturday, useless security and thats without failing to pay booked artists?

To me if over 30 of your events acts dont play because you dont pay them, and yet they are the reason tickets have been sold then that constitutes fraud..! you cant just advertise that many acts then dont deliver, the whole reason I went was to see the Lost souls tent, Ratpack, Slipmat, Switch and MSTRKRFT, and none of them played. do you not think thats a slight bit of false advertising..??! If it was one or 2 then maybe you could understand, but every single act..???!

I just went on the sat and camped that night. I agree the organisation was a total joke but i still had a great time and ASH were amazing as were groove monkey!! Maybe they'll get it right next yr. However I think they'll have a laugh gettin any act's to play!!

I'm having my very own Robbie'S'Fest in my back garden this weekend, I'll only charge 50p per person to cover costs.... LOL!!

1 Out, 1 In Tent/Door policy though

Modest too.

Weekend VIP ticket - £140

Burger & Chips - £11

Bigging yourself up about how you played then being shot down in flames - Priceless....

to be fair to him i think he may have meant IT was awesome!!!!

I think you got mugged mate, I got a good plate of jerk chicken, rice and pea for £6

I realise that, I was being facetious

I must say i got to play 1 track before we got shutdown and i was incredible! haha

Yeah XI's set was the best of the festival, it was minimal in every way possible!

Best way for any of his sets so i hear! ;o)

Except that Electric Gardens finishes at 1030 Sat night and 930 Sun night! The music at Zoo8 far supassed the shite they played in the dance tent on sunday at Electric Gardens! But to be fair to you Electric Gardens ran smoother than Poo8.

Just feel that Kent needed this festival and Port Lympne is a fantastic venue. But once again spoilt by money grabbing and robbing swarms of scally's sweeping the site! Iactually saw a bloke nick a wallet and then get chased and caught by security. So it was not all bad.

ouch haha

A lot of people having been asking me for a tracklisting of my set. It took me ages to get it all together but here it is

Mathew Jonson - Symphony for the Apocalypse

The end

Epic set mate..!!! ;)

Sorry peeps, what I mean to say was 'IT was awsome' As in the night.
