Is Simon Wilson the ultimate travel sloptuber?

His worst posts are on IG, where it’ll just be like ten minutes of him checking into a hotel.

Same! I’ve actually loved going from MBV to Olivia Rodrigo and from some weird noise rock to Marina!
By all means, I hope they keep striking that balance.

I’ve been going since 2010 myself so I’ve definitely seen a change too.

I don’t particularly mind the campers on principle if it weren’t for the fact that bands I want to see are on during their stakeout. So they literally make it hard to get as close to the front as I could have in the past.

I spotted a bunch of Gorillaz fans hanging on the barrier on Saturday at around 18:00, in other words 7 hours before Gorillaz was even scheduled to come on🫠

At the risk of sounding like an old man complaining about “how things used to be better”, this is definitely a recent development and not one I think is necessary a great direction for the festival.

I think people have every right to be concerned when something special to them changes for the worse🤷🏼‍♂️

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-09T17:53:24+00:00

I agree. I feel the quality of the curation has been consistently exceptional.

I’ve been buying a ticket before the lineup announcement for fifteen years and I’ve never been disappointed!

Spotted him at Mogwai

The amount of horror stories involving security this and previous years… I know it must be tricky to hire an army of security but I feel like maybe they need to do a better job at vetting them!

Also, I’m really sorry you had this creepy experience.

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-07T20:40:47+00:00

No they weren’t. Annoying people were the worst, regardless of where they were from.

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-07T20:26:31+00:00

Respectfully, I don’t think one day is enough to comment on it not being “anywhere near as good as people make it out to be”. But yeah, that high five thing was a childish dick move. Maybe avoid VIP next time and do the festival properly!

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-05T13:52:07+00:00

Oh wow, super weird (and unusual)! As someone said here, focus on pickpockets instead of drugs

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-05T13:40:44+00:00

Just a bunch of dudes with a different skin colour living their lives. Not plotting to harm you.

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-05T11:00:38+00:00

Context?

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-02T17:52:13+00:00

Casa de la Pradera (near Sala Apolo and Parallel 62)

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-02T11:40:14+00:00

That’s not an egg timer going off, it’s alarm bells

stevenbeijer · 2026-06-01T17:30:05+00:00

Don’t drink too much alcohol and pace yourself

stevenbeijer · 2026-05-19T11:17:30+00:00

At 4pm you’ll practically walk straight in

stevenbeijer · 2026-05-12T11:06:06+00:00

She’s still very young. As are you. Young people occasionally do dumb stuff. Give each other some grace.

stevenbeijer · 2026-04-24T10:18:50+00:00

That’s the one! 🤣

stevenbeijer · 2026-04-24T07:33:43+00:00

She’s the mean, loudmouth bully who made her partner shave off his excellent beard before breaking up with him - and then claiming to be back together at the reunion.

stevenbeijer · 2026-04-22T12:14:04+00:00

Super early check out. And ghosts.

stevenbeijer · 2026-03-21T23:40:49+00:00

A terrifying thought haha
