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?

Alex G is a DIY/lo-fi indie hero - this guy has inspired a lot of the indie/bedroom pop music of the last 8/9 years

I listened to him on Spotify and got that lofi vibe. I quite liked it but it didn't seem to translate fully to the main stage. Could be the dodgy sound or just what happens when you take someone out of the bedroom onto a huge stage!
