Description: | "To the British festival goer, used to the scenic, landscapes of Reading and the like, the Positivus AB Festival in Latvia comes as something of a shock. Buried deep in lush, seemingly never ending woods (looking like something out of a Grimm’s fairy tale), the site is located on the shores of the Baltic sea a couple of hours drive from the stunning capital city of Riga. The site is beside the undulating sea (it doesn’t lap the shore so much as wobble towards it like jelly), festival goers sit getting pissed watching the blazing sunset over Sweden, just out of sight on the other coast. The perimeter fence is patrolled by angry looking dogs, like an Eastern European Burns Manor, a far more effective deterrent than a ten-foot high superstructure and probably a damn site cheaper too. When we walk off the path to the beach, a security guard runs over to warn us that if we don’t get back on track, we’re highly likely to get mauled. This is more like it." - Manic St Preachers |
