Funny the impact a few Reddit accounts have had on the Houghtonsphere

2/3 main accounts that have been shit posting pre and post has literally sent people into turmoil.

We‘ve had people complaining, people complaining about people complaining, DJs insta stories on about the culture of dance floors, full forensic analysis of the attendees, private schools, people announcing this was there last one. People writing up there experience of the festival not even 4 hours after the festival ended 😂

Just goes to show you society is fucked and no one can think for themselves. You need to have I'm cooler than you on Reddit, you can’t make it up peeps you really can’t, be a man’s man and don’t listen to the troll dogs

Keep and eye out for me this weekend 🚂

I’ll be bringing my flag again and waving it proudly - my hands are registered as lethal weapons too so don’t even go there. And as for you troll dogs I don’t read the comments. Be safe be lucky

Should Australians be banned from Houghton?

You know the annoying drunk, lads lads, London gap year misogynistic ones. Maybe dri fit and Tik toks are okay after all, I’ll take it back. I completely forgot about the Aussies

Has Craig let loyal Houghtoners down?

The festival would be nothing without us - yet huge influx of new people have taken tickets off long term attendees. It makes us cringe inside when you chat to someone and they this is my first time.

Perhaps a wristband system upon entry where first time entries get no wristband, 3 previous years get a coloured wristband, 5 plus years get a wristband. This would get you exclusive access to certain stages ie. Quarry and Terminus.

Also another idea is that people who have attended 3+ years get access to the festival on the Thursday and Friday. Meaning first time attendees can only ruin the festival for us on the Saturday and Sunday when we’re likely to be mashed anyway so can’t notice. Just a thought

Professional pictures I’ve took at Houghton

Professional pics with my camera I’ve took over the years at Houghton. Unfortunately my photographers pass didn’t get renewed this year so I thought I’d share some of my favourites. Enjoy Houghtoners!

Not a fan of the new quarry and terminus

I thought Craig was big on not selling the festival out to corporate sponsorship but seems it’s gone the other way now. Seems the old houghtoners have been pushed out for the newer crowd

Cash jobs Bay Ridge

How easy is it to get a cash job in Bay Ridge these days? Currently going through immigration process and should have my papers soon, cost of living is getting expensive and want to support my family. Appreciate it may trigger people not paying tax - but the money I’d be earning is getting spent in Bay Ridge. Can also work under the minimum wage amount. Thank you

Call Super

Why has Call Super fell of the horse recently? He used to shell it out and be a power house, mixing up 90s dance classics and taking you on a nice journey. Always hammering out Tony De Vitt. Seen him 15+ times over the last 10 years and has always on fire but the last year or two he’s absolutely sucked. Feels like he‘s trying too hard to go down an artistic route and it’s not pulling it off, also this nonsense reading poems. Feels like he’s fell off bad recently, wondering if anyone else noticed the same. Be good to see him get back to how he was

Hidden Easter eggs at Houghton

I’ve heard about the hidden Easter eggs at Glastonbury like the piano bar. I know Houghton has a few: the aunties you have a cuppa with, or the paella stand you can give a 2CB too for free paella, the train that takes you to the statues, the cottage near pavilion where Craig lives and if you knock on if he’s in there’s a secret cocktail bar, the secret stage with no line up and looks like a foot washer / fetish tent this year.

What other hidden easter eggs have people discovered at Houghton and anything new this year?

Stupid questions answered for you

It’s gets to that time of year where it’s time to separate the wheat from the TikTok. I am happy to help answer your stupid questions to cut down the crap on this sub:

No there is no signal

Yes there is showers

Yes there are trains to the festival 

Yes there is a taxi rank

Yes security are lax

Yes you can bring more than 8 cans of beer

Yes Ricardo is likely to close pavilion playing some weird shit

Yes I am DJing Terminus again

No the the line up for terminus is not released but some cunt will send it round the festival

Yes the line for terminus is big

Yes you’ll see some fella from South Korea documenting his experience - he’s pretty sound tho 

Yes there’s some weirdo washing peoples feet

Yes there’s a swingers tent - it’s a big 8 person tent in the field. You’ll usually meet someone that will give you a business card across the festival

If you don’t like it fuck off

Ticket resellers - a lot of you

Noticed a lot of tickets being flooded on RA recently and my question to you is why? Why did you buy a ticket when they were on sale just to sell them later on? and not even for profit.

You took a ticket of a true Houghtoner based off a few tick tocks you’ve seen and now when the ships near the shore you’ve jumped off? Fannies.

Is Houghton finished as a festival?

The latest announcement “British Artist Henry Krokatsis“ will be washing the feet of 40 of the festival attendees. Really does question what has this festival become? It’s meant to be an underground music festival, the underground part has been lost as the rise of Tik Tokkers exposing the festival to an unwanted demographic but now Craig’s curated a foot fetish washing ceremony. Is the festival done or has Craig seriously lost his head?

I mean lets break this down, what kind of sick fuck wants to wash the feet of festival attendee? Someones dirty stinking feet. Craig you’ve lost the crowd with this one mate
