Poland or a f**king festival! Left wing ****s! 

Was brilliant 10 years ago, gone to sh*t now. Increased capacity yet again for this year when some of the crowds last year was a disgrace, 35K crowd 10 years ago and it will be 70k this year, and i don't think the site is even any bigger. Body and Soul have pulled out of this years picnic because of the direction it's going, and they're starting to really target to a much younger "rave" crowd much more than they ever have before, will never be going again after a fairly bad experience last year.

Agree 100% about the crowd. There were too many there last year and the crowds around the main stage when the big acts finished up were dangerous. The site was bigger last year though as they moved a campsite but they made a huge mistake including the Salty Dog area in the main arena instead of leaving it was it was for all the years before. The crowd has changed a lot down through the years and it is much younger. The younger crowd have Longitude but there's no camping there and that seems to be a huge part for that age group.

PM - Agree about the lineup but was responding more to the type of crowd. Look, like everything it has its flaws and there's definitely areas where it can improve but its a great weekend with something for everyone which is why it keeps selling out

I would have loved to have gone in the early years as they had great acts at it but couldn't due to work. No interest going over the past 8 years as I've heard that it's more of a posers festival with pricks who go on about it for weeks but only talked about the culinary delights and the craft beers that were fermented in a badgers ballsack with no mention of the music which I dont blame them as the line up has been utter sh*te during this time.
