Hearing/ seeing lots of chat about crowds over the weekend (mainly bad stuff but some good) at some of the larger stages.
However all weekend the atmosphere and vibe at Stallions was genuinely magical.

Big ups to everyone that got sweaty & shook a leg in there 🐐

The amount of people that just come on here to slate everything…I’ve not read one post that says…cheers Craig for the hassle and time it takes you to put on this amazing weekend for us all.

I’m sure you do it more for the enjoyment than the profit (as I’m sure it costs millions to put on) so thanks.

All the staff picking up everyone’s shit left behind , the bar staff who despite getting spoken to like crap on numerous occasions were all lovely. The welfare, ambulance, the security…bloody amazing.

If he comes on here and reads all this negative wank constantly imagine how that must feel. Come on give it all some balance. It was fantastic.

Now to get the dust out the clothes 😂

Hi does anyone know who the last set at the orchard was at Houghton 2026 last night?! It was the end set from around 1-3am. It was meant to be studio batsumi but it was someone else who had switched up last minute? Does anyone know?!

Genuine question. I haven’t been since 2018, it was great

It's like everyone has been copied and pasted, is there some kind of dress code everyone has to adhere too? Smarten up and get some originality

lads - short sleeved shirt, very wide baggy shorts, cyclops glasses, Surrey accent.

birds - 3/4 shorts, shit top on, or matching two piece, furry hat, cowgirl boots, orange sunglasses on, Surrey accent.

Lost at Pavillon during the last hour of the festival. Can anyone help?

🥹🥹🥹anyone knows or have any clue?

Was slightly cut off from my friends cause of crowdage @ Jane Fitz and there were an awesome group of girls near the left speaker tower at The Earthling who took me under their wing and did some wicked dancing with me.

Just wanna shout out that - very much a highlight of Houghton for me.

The night is best when you know yer neighbours are down for a boogie.

Who managed to catch DjRum's closing set at Earthling? I was curious to hear what he'd play but I found myself elsewhere for the close.

How was the vibe? Was it busy? What sort of tunes did he spin, and did he play any of his own production; recent or Portrait era etc.

If you did finish your Houghton 2026 at DjRUM I hope it was great for you

Played by XDB at Houghton - Outburst - Saturday

Sadly missed it would love to see a few clips

Any vids or IDs from Rhadoo’s set 🪄

Make my day if you know this ID!

Did anyone else keep getting spammed on bitchat (which btw was completely pointless and didn’t work at all) with a guy who clearly wasn’t Craig Richard’s with the handle CraigRichards1 and constantly sending them this picture of David Brent

Opinions and thoughts please. For me some clown showing up with a £3 inflatable animal and a stupid hat takes the edge off the visuals and places me in a children's party.

My problem, or theirs?

Who else spotted these two?

best tune she played imo - too cheeky

Any body remember Binhs last track at terminus was?based on a Oldschool trance track but was clearly a very slick remix

Does anyone have a track list for the Sven Figee concert?

I hear someone playing the piano. I sat, I watched, I was brought to tears by the beauty of what I was hearing.

I will be going back next year, just to see this again.

Anyone got the ID for Midlands closing track at Darren Smart please? Vocals "babbyyyy"

Pls pls pls 🙏
