Review of Boogietown 2024
Everything was great apart from 2 things:
1) It would be nice to have a shower unit in the camping area
2) You need to hire a proper Video Director / Vision Mixer to cut the video relay screens so that we can see the performer who is performing. These expensive and crew heavy screens are meant to help the bring the crowd at the back of the arena into the action.
Don't show the wrong musician / wrong instrument.
Don't show empty areas of the stage.
We can already see the fairground for ourselves.
Don't, Never, Pleeeese... Do not the strobe cut between 2 cameras during drumming solos or at any time. We want to see the art on stage, not your out of time headache generator.
Never dissolve mix on up tempo music. Always cut on the beat. (Cutting out of time is better than 2 second dissolves).
It would help if you hired more than one human operated camera. PTZs only work if you have crew who really know how to use them!
Sorry to rant.. but this was a very high production value event. One of the best I've been to, but saving a bit of budget on shoddy camera relay screens means you may as well have made less effort on the staging and Production, because only those at the front saw it and engaged with it.
I'm a Production Manager... but it was a consistent complaint I overheard around me on both days. Luckily most found it funny (cutting up the wrong musician when they are being introduced for a short solo) but I was embarrassed for the live event world.
Other things
Everyone was really happy and chilled. Great crowd.
Excellent lighting at a festival I've seen for a long time.
Excellent sound / PA on the main stage (despite fighting with ambient noise pollution from other tents and gennys)
Excellent camping site and close parking (maybe a bit more trackway needed)
The cleanest toilets ever known at a public festival
Friendly staff
Great security. Very safe.
Better than Rewind!!! Pleeeeeese... Don't get too greedy like other gigs have.
Supporting live music (mostly)

Review of Boogietown 2024
The only negative thing I could say was the overpowering waft of cannabis in the air,apart from that it was an amazing event and a special thanks to the toilet fairies for keeping the loos clean and well stocked ❤️

Review of Boogietown 2024
First time brilliant facilities, I would recommend having a cut off point for chairs and blankets so people can get to the front to watch there favourite acts, other than that will be there next year
