Just got home. Very good weekend overall, and Turin is lovely. Musically it was great (Aphex reliably great, Skeemask amazing too). Sound was pretty great throughout and the crowd were a lovely bunch. Some nice little touches like everyone getting free bottles of water and a souvenir bag, too.
Some of the organisation could have been better - poorly laid out second stage meant there was loads of space not being used and people having to stand in the middle to hear the music / see anything (a bit similar to the downstairs room at Camber sands), the toilets were all portaloos and got grim very quickly (there were signs to toilets in the venue itself but seemingly not being used) and the security were very over the top. The latter is to be expected at a festival I guess but just seemed like zero chill whatsoever. Also, not to be all brits abroard about it but alcohol sales stopped at 3am which was a bit of a buzz killer for something that went on until 6.
Anyway, moans aside it was a good weekend and I found out at the eleventh hour that a friend of mine was going so I wasn’t alone either. Hurray!
