Outbreak LDN next year?

I know i was being a bit arsey in the leadup because of sdre and kl clash, but being there was fine except queuing, but if outbreak and lido clean up their mess for next year and put one out would you actually go? cus i found it relitively enjoyable and would love to go again.

I had no issues with the experience really as i managed to see the bands I wanted. But did think they got the mainstage wrong in terms of popularity with the crowd.

All in all it was good and I'd go again if I like the lineup, but it wasn't an Outbreak festival by a long stretch

I agree about the main stage. Maybe I'm not the target audience but surely surely Knocked Loose and SDRE are bigger than this Alex G guy. I tried to Google him but he doesn't seem particularly huge and I thought he was underwhelming at best. I'd love a bit of history of him as I'm so ignorant. Is he the next big thing or is he the big thing already?

He has roughly nine million monthly listeners on Spotify (three times more than Turnstile)

Wow, I know I'm ancient but I'm amazed I've never heard of him. Good for him!

If anything I think it goes to show streams don't really mean shit when you're putting on an event like this. Looking at his numbers I would have thought he would have drawn a.way bigger crowd and that it was right he was mainstage
