@emf Remember what this government did to UK culture.

EMF will survive, but only because we have volunteers and attendees who will make huge sacrifices.

Others are not so lucky. Every single shuttered festival, venue, and club was important to a community. We may not get them back.

@jonty @emf Interesting article:

"Secret Garden Party, an event she’s worked with extensively, wants to facilitate this, inviting smaller events to use its site following extensive infrastructure investment."

Not a bad idea, it takes a lot of effort to get the infrastructure ready and clear down at the end.

I went to Hospitality on the Beach (https://www.hospitalityonthebeach.com/) a few years ago in Albania.
The week after Hospitality was a techno festival, and then a week after that was a deep house festival on the same site, which kinda makes sense.

However, this was on a sandy coast in very dry conditions - not sure that would always work, most of the UK festivals seem to be in fields and the ground would need time to recover after the usual weather we get at festivals here 😞
