melt festival 13 - 15 th july
Last year we went to Melt, and the year before because 'hands down', German festivals piss all over British ones. Wanna know why?..
heres 5 good reasons to go to the Melt Festival this July:
1. Being able to Leave beer outside your tent with out it getting robbed (even if it does its so cheap people give it away)
2. Having the option of running 5 metres from your tent to a lake with cute nude german girls.
3. Getting out of your mind in the company of hundreds of pacifistic like minded party heads.
4. The scenery is industrial maaan.
