I always go! I've been lucky enough to play a few times. It's a very special festival.
Never thought I'd see it mentioned here.

Same!
Same!
I'm actually going this year... last time was 2010!
Yeah wish I could too but didn’t have the capital to bag a chalet and sort things out with my silly friends and I think have a wedding at the and weekend. Also I miss it was when later in the year and was sunny outside at you cool just roll around in a pile of minirigs and buckfast. Also the dichotomy of us making our chalet immaculate and some other person throwing a kettle through their window and us both getting the deposit back

It reminds of bugjam.co.uk at Santa Pod in the 90's where we were dancing to www.theprodigy.com* in a poky little marque tent upto our ankles in mud it was that packed, they needed a bigger tent for sure!
Apologies if you were there that weekend and got woken up at 6am by someone driving around in a Porsche with a loaded sound system playing Josh Winks Higher State of Consciousness on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh8POlIHkSI&t=200s) at full volume on a constant loop. That was me! :-P
* They are also touring this year.
Saw the Prodigy on the tour for "Invaders Must Die", when I thought they were over already, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show. Not sure though whether it can still be great with Keith Flint missing.
Wow that is still a thing? I was there more than 10 years a go. Good old breakcore times.
I was going to post that as soon as I saw the article title :)
Amazing weekend.
Have certainly seen some things there ;)
Loads of sets from the festival here: https://m.soundcloud.com/bangface This set is amazing: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/nVY3iw24HDSVBRXt7
I saw Ceephax playing at one of the weekenders, there was a small shuttle bus ride to a beach, and everybody danced in the sand. Lot of surprised locals looking at this crowd of strange people raving in the middle of the day. A ton of fun and a really good time. Super skilled and humble guy.
Went to Bangface Weekender in 2012, an absolutely undescribable experience. If you can go, go!

The monthly London party was incredible too. So much energy, many costumes and experimental beats

People on hn talking about bangface. Things I didn't see coming.
By far the most intense festival I’ve been to and heard of.
