MAYBE THE BEST SHOW EVER?!
We're still reeling from what was truly a weekend of epic proportions. IDLES and the whole line-up brought all their musical energy and a lot of love to our little Cornish valley.
Only YOU lovely lot could match it, and boy did you - we couldn't be prouder. 🏴☠️
AND it didn't even rain. It's an end of July miracle!
A PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

FROM YOUR ANGLE
You took over our Instagram stories over the last couple of days with snapshots of IDLES' show, from where you were standing. You picked out all your best bits, and we shared as many of your favourite moments as we could for all the world to see. Check out our IDLES highlight reel on Instagram to relive Sunday.
THE REAL STARS OF THE SHOW - YOU!
Wylde ones, you make us who we are.
You’re always down for a party, so we’re always up for throwing one (or six). You’ve shown us your unwavering sense of humour, so we can always see the funny side. You guide us towards what’s in style, and we do our very best to match your vision. You dance like no one’s watching, so we make sure the music doesn’t stop.
We say it a lot, but we couldn’t bring these shows to Cornwall without you folks. So the BIGGEST thank you goes to you.
We've already heard so many of your stories from Sunday, and we've also had some comments that have brought a tear to our eye:
'You guys know how to organise a party and deliver the best sound. Friendly crew and way better than any other venue for live music.'
'So so good! What a gig. The Wyldes looked and sounded magnificent.'
'IDLES were incredible. The sound on both stages was amazing. Excellent venue. Can't wait to return.'
'Absolutely amazing gig. First time at The Wyldes...what a gorgeous venue.'
'My first time at The Wydes, really impressed. Excellent sound and what a performance from IDLES!'
We also had the pleasure of catching a rather glowing review of the show on Cornwall Live, you can check that out here.

It’s about time for a BIG thank you.
This one is especially to our teams across site who work tirelessly to make these shows run smoothly year on year.
From the crew who keep our stages shining, to the team who keep the pints flowing and the pizzas sizzling; from the first friendly faces you see in our campsites and car parks, to the ones who capture your smiles in our photo albums; to the ones who look after our artists, and the ones who look after everyone else, and to the tiny few who are here all year round, coming up with big ideas and making them happen.
It has truly been a HUGE events season this year, and every one of you deserves a high five, a big pat on the back, and an extra few hours lie-in. These shows just wouldn't happen without you, so to you we send the most heartfelt thank you.
Until next time,
Team Wyldes
