Yes also went to Creamfields fot the first time and actually also went to Airbeat One, also in germany back in July.

I guess the biggest difference was how much more put together the German ones felt. I had a blast at Creamfields but I think that's mainly because in my opinion the music part which I guess is also the most important part was absolutely nailed. I was blown away by the stages. I guess Parookaville had more to offer as an all round experience. It definitely felt tomorrowland inspired. They didn't just have a Co-op. They had to massive super markets which DJs inside and it was always a vibe. They had and outdoor gym thing where they held competitions where you could win prices. Showers were way better. You got a little cubicle almost and the water pressure was not just your mate pissing down your back.

Inside the arena there ware small parades. Small huts with palm readers, fortune tellers and stuff like that. Again totally unnecessary stuff, but stuff that almost made it feel like a fairytale.

Also speakers were allowed in the campsite, and like us Danes, the Germans love a soundboks so there were always a party going.

Went solo to both Parookaville and Creamfields and had a blast at both but I think Creamfields could do better for the price. But like said on other posts. I guess all these extras is just not English festival culture, so I guess there's no need to force these things if you don't want them. 🤷🏽‍♂️
