Hi the rocket
Yes it is a good gig and I have been in the past, but at that time of the year, we always have family commitments and expectations. So just going away and enjoying ourselves for what amounts to two weeks min, with travelling etc, is a big ask. Costs real money too compared to a free camp down by a creek.
Additionally the hot weather can be a killer there and this year is looking bad !! Not much fun sitting in big tents when its 40deg+ with a lot of people, good music or not. Although I have been there in mud mud mud Enjoy yourself

I've been many times rocket.
Not for 4 years now though.
Can get very hot and also plenty of mud if it rains.

Still worth the effort. Always a good show.
