UK Festivals in Crisis? - DiS speaks to festival organisers who know otherwise
Drowned In Sound were saddened to hear rumours of Truck Festival may be going bankrupt. Truck joins a line of more distinguished names to not sell out in what’s been a hit and miss year for festivals including Hop Farm, Latitude and Oxegen. But, DiS scribe and festival lover Simon Jay Catling claims, festivals are still a rich part of our country’s summer, and to help argue his point he thought he’d ask three festival organisers – Simon Taffe from the consistently sold out End Of The Road, Rob Challice from the Drowned In Sound-involved Summer Sundae, and a first time director in Cloud 9’s Hannah Cox – to offer their own thoughts on the matter»

Slottsfjell 2011, Norway - The DiS review
Slottsfjell is situated in Tønsberg, a medium-sized town on the Oslofjord. As a festival it is partly comparable and partly incomparable to anything in the UK, but on the whole more leaning towards incomparable. A festival is about music, but what makes a festival is often not the greatness of the line-up or performances alone. People and atmosphere are a huge part and you'll be hard-pushed to find a better bunch of people to party with than the Norwegians. »
Splendour 2011: The DiS review
Although in its fourth year, Splendour has constantly found itself living in the shadows of the city's other main music event Dot To Dot.
