You know that feeling after you see one of your favourite bands. You clap for an encore and the band obliges but then after that it's over. You muddle about with your friends trying to "keep the vibe," trying to push through that initial moment of realising it's over before going home and falling into that trap of reminisce led by internet searches for instant keep-the-vibe gratification. Well, no fear with Playground Weekender as it goes for FOUR DAYS, and let's face it, after that last encore is done, you will be happy just to head home and wash the dirt from your feet with a smile.
Let's start with the line-up. There's the cultish garage-rockers Brian Jonestown Massacre and the cultish gospel-rockers Polyphonic Spree. There's the new/old/infinity ravers Oribital, and the treadmill treaders OK GO, and Lupe Fiasco too. There's Jamie Lidell and James Lavelle, Bjorn Again and The Cribs. Also in there, local heroes Washington, Bluejuice and Pivot. See what I mean? I'm tired and not even through half the list yet.
If the idea of just seeing bands for four days sounds exhausting, there's a cinema, bars, markets, food stalls and a 24 hour cafe. Saturday is for Fancy Dress which includes a catwalk show for you to show off whatever it is you decide to show off. If your chakras are a bit out of whack from all that hoofing around you can attend a yoga class or enter the Riverside Healing Zone.
If you don't particularly fancy roughing it in a tent you can book in for a cabin, a nearby hotel or a caravan/campervan. If you are reading this thinking "yes, I will go to the Riverside Healing Zone," there are traditional tipis too.
We have 2 x four-day (including camping) Playground Weekender festival passes to giveaway to a Concrete Playgrounder.
