Beat-Herder 2019 Review

Beat-Herder is wild, wacky and proud of it. Although incredible music is on offer, the renowned northern festival offers an immersive experience, In mother Beat-herders own words “built on unconditional love and the tireless efforts of many. From plants grown from seed, hand painted signs and flags, restoring old cars, to homemade hymn books; the detail and creativity is endless”.

Where head-thumping tunes are just one of the many elements on offer in this intimate but big enough to loose yourself festival, there is literally something for everyone and every age group. being that we have traveled the 5+ hours to Boomtown for years and a festival we hold in the highest regards, we can are so very happy to have found Beat-herder just 40 miles away from us just as crazy wacky and wild truly another place where you can be what you want without judgement from anyone.

Con’s

  • No drug testing on site would be good to see the Loop here.
  • Same as all UK festival’s we have visited, some form of checking tents in and out and a fine issued if tents are left?, although Beat-herder organisers have tried to encourage people to recycle with incentives on money back and tent recycling areas. Beat-herder staff did have the site cleaned up in 4 days but they shouldn’t have to do this we are all responsible adults.
  • 4/5g Mobile masts would be an amazing addition.
  • I would have put opening on Thursday but they have already planned this for 2020.
