Splashy Fen’s more than just a lineup of bands in a glossy program. It’s a quarter-year escape from the world. A no-questions-asked opportunity to just untie, unplug and go feral. It’s an adventure.

The 20th addition was no exception and I quote Yusuf Laher who wrote:” Splashy Fen 20, just like the nineteen before it, was always going to be the weekend the earth stood still (and stupid)”

Here are some pictures of this awesome festival:
