“Maybe the main problem was that they promised too much and in doing so effectively set themselves up for certain failure. They announced a ‘new trend in Australian festivals’. It would have hot showers, a large covered and seated garden in case of rain, a beer hall with only microbrews on tap, a massive market, art classes, guarded lockers, a general store, and a full bistro. None of the above materialised; rather, what was presented was a massive mudbath, cans of Melbourne Bitter, blocked toilets, dejected workmen huddling, and burgers in bain maries. And worst of all – no running water. For the entire weekend. Really. Really really. Take a few moments to process that glorious stuff-up.” from a dB Magazine review of the Blueprint Festival, which - as we all know now - has set “a new trend” for how not to put on a music festival. I’m struggling to get my head around the whole mess! (via clembastow) (via vaqume-arts)
