Whatfest

As soon as the sun starts popping out again after the winter, it’s time to think about what music festivals you’ll be going to this year.
If you’d like to keep things fairly local, then I can recommend Whatfest as a newly emerging music festival in Cheshire. For such a new festival they bagged a surprisingly high profile line-​up last year with the likes of The Bluetones and Dodgy performing.
Unfortunately, it was hit pretty hard by the weather, with torrential rain turning the site into a quagmire and affecting walk up attendances on the second day of the festival especially.
Those that did make it through the mud were treated to two great stages of music, DJs, food and fairground rides on a glorious site.
However, this shouldn’t detract from how well this festival was run, the strength of the line up and quality of the sound on the main stage. A new festival that is only going to get better and better in future years. Go check it out in 2010.
