"… and finally. Lakefest is on the move to Eastnor (site of the late, lamented, Big Chill) next year. If Lakefest 2015 taught us anything, it’s that line-up and location are but small facets of the make-up of a great festival. It’s people, its ‘The Family’ that really matter. Lakefest will carry their people with them. 2016 will be one hell of a year. "
