The Limetree Festival, 1-3 August

July 19, 2008 · Words: Elizabeth T. Hacker · 

The Limetree Festival, 1-3 August“No economy burgers!” declares the Limetree Festival website.

The Leeds-based get together is a return to traditional festival values, with none of the downsides that might blight your experiences elsewhere on the mainstream festival map - need I mention suspect bathroom facilities, power tripping security guards, the feeling that you are just another chicken in a battery hen cage earning the farmer lots and lots of money every time you buy an over priced beer?!

Smaller festivals achieve something that the large festivals can only boast about on over sized bill boards, they give us back a sense of community: a community with a mission: to go nuts, dance and celebrate the local talent showcasing their wares. Here we have an alternative to the musical cash cows whose talent, in many cases, is not in proportion to their hype. Give me B ‘n’ L Dubclub over Franz Ferdinand any day! Especially while I’m chowing down high quality meat!
