I’m intrigued to how you’re all finding Outbreak. I wanted to go this year but I was already away.
It looks way too big to be enjoyable for me. I think I peaked with Ninjafest 2006 though.

On friday, i wen't to watch terror and was rushing to the front and got really hurt.. i dont know if it was a crowdkill or a stage diver or what because i was knocked out for a few seconds.. but the fucker broke 3 bones in my cheek and my nose.
i wen't to hospital and missed the rest of the fest and now have to miss ieper and may have to miss a fest in barcelona because of my injuries
I hated it from the minute i walked in.. too busy.. to many kids that were trying to prove how tough they are and i head of loads of other women that got hurt. Yes, i know shows are meant to be violent but it was too violent.. and i have been to shows in america where people have gotten knocked out. I have been going to shows for 23+ years and have never witnessed violence like this. It was awkward and shit and im never going to an OB fest again.

I only wen't the Saturday which was prob the least "hardcore" and it was awesome. Walter acoustic, Fiddlehead, Drug Church and Turnstile were all brilliant although I couldn't even get NEAR the stage for TS. High Vis were band of the day though - kicked off with Dirty Money intro and crowd wen't off, then the room was with them all the way through.
Spoke to a guy who said the Friday had been brutal, but he thought the vibe was all good. Lots of injuries though.
I'd never been to OB before so not sure how it compared. It felt big, but I never had problems getting to the front areas if I wanted to. Seemed well run, security was cool. Food was a bit of a nightmare to get but the Vegan brownies got me though :)

The gold wristband gave a lot of people the license to just be a fucking dick. I hear next year is going to be 10,000 cap. No thank you. I last night realised that the most of the bands i want to see play London anyway so i am going to save my money and go to those.

You could hop on the Eurostar-regional train to Roubaix and then have someone pick you up?

Had two separate Uber drivers say they picked people up from the fest and took them to the hospital. One had a “broken knee” and I couldn’t understand what the other dude said.
I didn’t really experience or witness much violence outside of what seemed like a handful of Americans smashing everyone during Xibalba. My 100lb girlfriend stage dove for the first time which was cool. I did see a guy dive into the ground during Dare but that was on him. All-in-all it was a good time, and the only fest I’ve ever been to where I didn’t see at least one fight.

Nah ieper is because my fractures are too fresh and i need to rest but thank you!!! Barcelona is 11 hours by train and while i really want to go, i dont know if i want to go that much. Im going to speak to the consultant when i see her next week and see what she says. Also, seeing what my skull looks like because of the CT scan is insane

Oh May, that’s such a bummer, I hope you feel better. I noticed on Twitter that there seemed to be a lot of ‘adjacent’ types attending who rarely know how to behave at a show. A show that big was always going to give a space to the ‘tough guys’. I’d struggle with a 5k hardcore show, a 10k venue seems like hell.

Sorry about your experience May, that really sucks. All I ended up getting was a really bruised finger during Scowl. I've also spent the last two days off work with a horrendous sore throat/some sort of festival flu that's made sleep near impossible. Seem to be on the mend now though, and I'll probably be in work tomorrow.

Goddamn that's terrible M. I'm so sorry that some goober had to ruin the fest for you.
I had a great time at it for someone who came by himself. Missed out on Friday because I was getting tatted so no Flex, Renounced or Incendiary but I did get to see Terror and met Detlef (by complete coincidence due to his mets shirt lol). Saturday was perhaps the best day since it mixed the bill with hardcore and hardcore adjacent bands and Sunday was the chill day. Missed Zulu because my one Manchester bus tour took a while but seeing people go off on them made me happy. And yeah the food selection was good but they need to expand it so people dont miss sets. All in all, wayyyyyyy better than TIHC now and maybe a little better than S&F but its close
also shout out to all the northern accents I heard and the one welsh guy who loved all the american accents haha. It's true that you northern UK people are a lot nicer than the south

Fucking hell. There is a kid on twitter posting with a neck and back brace on (user: Jckgnn). He broke both his neck and back at the fest. He thinks hes going to be ok and back to normal in 8-12 weeks. I dont know how to break it to him (no pun intended).
Also, that fucking hospital that he is at is the worst i have ever been to in my life. They discharged me without doing a CT scan even though i had head trauma and was being sick. I ended up going to hospital back in london where the ER doctor was like "wait they didnt even do an x ray?!".

Yo what the fuck. I’ve seen multiple posts where people are saying they’ve ended up at A&E. I’ve rarely gone to a show in years but how are there so many serious injuries?

People literally were going nuts. It wasnt normal show violence. It seemed like these were kerrang kids that were doing what they thought was cool and actually hurting people. Whatever happens, im hoping this is not a trend and OB doesnt make these idiots think that its ok to do this at normal shows because i feel like they are going to get a pretty fast lesson if so.

I had to miss out on two fests, one in barcelona so i was gutted but now im healing up ok. I dont have anything that looks super bad but i have been told it will take up to 6 months for my nose to heal fully so i have to be really careful. I miss Ninjafest. We wanted to do a fest that was fun and not taken too seriously (hence the name). Would never do it again though. I miss Concrete Fest and Upsurge (as that now ended). I want another big (small) UK hardcore fest. You know which fest i miss the most though? The European Hardcore Pool Party. It was my ultimate favourite.
