I loved it last year, a sort festival for the older people where you can relive the past a bit and get home for bed time. I wanted to go today but the wife isn't too keen on the Libertines or Seasick Steve. Shame really because both put on a fine show.
Would be interested to know what the crowds are like - the previous promoters shifted a lot of heavily-discounted tickets, but the new ones don't seem to have gone in for that (though they are now doing evening tickets for £20). Only went last year because we got cheap tickets - wouldn't pay full whack for it, sod £6 for a beer.
Festival promoters will be looking to swallow a loss for the first three years of a festival (pretty much all of the festivals this size will) . On Blackheath will have made a loss all three years and although the promoter has changed it's very unlikely they will be happy to have another year losing money.

Very rare For any event to make any serious money in the first 5 years
Until they build the brand and create interest for a blue chip sponsor to come in and help absorb the running costs
This year cornbury festival closed its gates for the last time and they were well supported on the end
I know that latitude and camp bestival got some decent sponsorship in that made a big difference to them
With global media buying a big % of broadwick live this should help the festivals get some decent blue chip sponsors that they bring with their brand can potentially save some of the smaller ones

Metronomy were a bit rubbish and Travis were ok.
It wasn't very busy, some decent food and that inside, good for kids, at £6 a beer it was towards the pricey end.
