Festivals are currently facing significant challenges, not due to a decline in the love for music, but because of escalating operational costs. Independent festivals, in particular, are managed by small teams grappling with increasing infrastructure expenses, artist fees, fuel prices, licensing demands, insurance costs, and the broader impact of a cost of living crisis affecting audiences.

While some festivals are quietly disappearing, others persist through sheer passion, volunteer support, and a collective determination to preserve grassroots culture. It is crucial to recognize that independent festivals are not large corporations with unlimited resources. They are often the product of communities, artists, crews, enthusiasts, and visionaries who are committed to maintaining authentic cultural experiences.

Supporting an independent festival goes beyond purchasing a ticket. It is an investment in safeguarding underground music, fostering creative freedom, nurturing emerging artists, preserving alternative spaces, and ensuring the future of genuine festival culture.

Now, more than ever, it is vital to support small festivals. Engage with their social media posts, purchase tickets in advance if possible, and attend with friends. Your presence is essential to sustaining the vibrant scene.

Once these unique spaces vanish, they are seldom revived. Independent festivals across the UK have been raising alarms about rising production costs, diminishing profit margins, venue constraints, and event cancellations in recent years. It is imperative to support the events you cherish. ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

If you are considering attending Barntek this year, hekp us by getting your ticket before the event. Your support is invaluable to us.

only 10 weeks remaining ๐Ÿซถ.

๐Ÿšจ Polite Notice ๐Ÿšจ

Since we released the competition entries yesterday, there seems to be a lof of confusion. On each previous post we have attempted to clarify that we have NOT made the competition a public vote, we have made it a "HAVE YOUR SAY"

The original intention was that Trampy would be solely judging the competition, with a little help from a team - But due to the level of entries and high quality of them all, we all felt this wouldn't do the competition justice.

So instead, we thought, whats a better way to help our DJ's get exposure? getting them heard ofcourse?! So we made a competition portal to encourage everyone to have a listen to this years entries.

From this, we were aiming to gain a bit more insight in to which DJs you guys actually follow, support and vouch for.

After the initial post (within 2 minutes) there were over 40 bot comments from profiles that weren't legitimate. We discussed as a team what to do and as they were coming through thick and fast, we removed what we thought were solely the bot comments - amongst that process there was someone who inadvertently, was tied up in the confusion and their comment was removed. When this was brought to our attention we personally contacted that person and the DJ mentioned, straight away to apologise. Both people were incredibly understanding and no harm was done.

We would like to reassure you all that we want your say! We want to know which track you can't t help but listen to twice, the one that's stuck in your head, which DJ you think is a bit underrated!

As the week is progressing, we are all working our way through the entries, listening multiple times, talking about who would fit the aesthetic of the slots available - bit by bit we will combine efforts to wittle the list down and when it comes to a final decision, Trampy will have a more manageable shortlist to work from.

We are loving reading all the comments about who you guys are supporting and thank you all for your help in this process ๐Ÿ™
