BBC News - Disruption concerns over Reading Festival's music extension
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c86nxj1djgjo
I live within a kilometre of the site and hear it all. I don't have air con so have to sleep with the windows open. I also have work on Friday morning. But this extension doesn't bother me in the slightest.
My main thoughts are festivals aren't what they were - they used to be quick weekends - some people would turn up Friday after work and others would leave Sunday for work. They have morphed into basically 6 day camping holidays. Most festivals now offer Thursday entertainment.
I haven't been in almost two decades so I don't really have skin in the game. I am somewhat grateful that the festival puts the town on the national map and it's something special one weekend a year.
Interested to know what other people think?
