It is an event that is a “happening”, an experience - who doesn’t want that?īut enough of the hype about the site and vibe, it is after all a music festival - was the music up to scratch? Swim in clear waters, under waterfalls and while the music plays get drawn into the psychedelic light trip provided by Sector 7G who deliver classic and mind-altering visuals that elevate the band’s performances and make the made sculptures around the ground dance in the light.īear Stone is truly a festival that inhabits a special place, so far removed from the corporate, money-grab in a damp field that is the majority of UK festivals.

It revels in the riffs and crushing ambience of stoner and space rock - it’s like all that survived hippiedom was Hawkwind (and that is no bad thing).Īnd it does this from within a screened canyon on the Mrežnica River, a safe haven for music fans to truly lose themselves in the immersive experience that this new festival is making its calling card.

Monterey, Woodstock, Pilton Pop, all those events that we still can’t move in from over 50 years later!
