Belladrum Festival

without the pissed posh kids...

Plenty of pissed up kids though and I must say, I've never seen campsites full of so much crap! Cans, bottles, wet wipes take away wrappings as far as the eye could see!

Fun time was had though!

Why would they put them at the same times as Manics? That would have ruined the festival for me if I would have gone.

Good job you didn't go then! It would have been awful if the scheduling ruined it for you!
It was a shame though, as potential raft of new fans missed the opportunity of seeing NMA doing what they do best!

Only because I have never seen the Manics. However I know for a fact that they have new followers that are young and I guess hipster. They took away from NMA. Scheduling was stupid. Two headliners at one time? or were NMA or MSP not headliners?

Funny thing about the campsites. When we entered on the first day (this was last year mind) the crowd was peeling off in two different directions. Essentially the older folk headed left into the familly and quiet camping, and the younger folk headed right, into general. When we left the family/quiet was really quite clean and tidy, especially compared to other festivals I've been to. As we drove out we passed the general camping site (which is the one closest to the Hothouse Stage)....a very different story. A bit depressing really...
Still a cracking festival mind!

The MSP have followers much the same as NMA; older and younger! The scheduling was what it was.
And yes two headliners at once. MSP headlined the the Garden Stage and NMA headlined the Hothouse Stage!

Yes but to my knowledge they have a bit more fans. You can tell my searching Tumblr.  You get a few NMa topics but several MSP topics. And many involve fangirls.  internet MSP fangirls are crazy too.  Richey was very attractive and the sensitive tortured artist. That is very attractive to many girls.
