Word on the field
“There's something special about crossing the Solent, feeling that sea breeze, and knowing you're heading for one of the UK's most iconic music gatherings.”
“Left Seaclose Park buzzing with earworm anthems and sun-kissed faces after a great weekend of live music.”
“Took about half an hour to leave the main stage area, stuck in a crowd crush which was deeply unpleasant given the heat, and down right scary at times!”
