Was considering bringing the kids to Westport this year and heading to Electric Picnic by ourselves, as it's getting less family friendly in my opinion. Our 10 year old is bitterly opposed to this plan though. Having been to EP twice, do you think he'd find WP underwhelming?

Having been to sea sessions and never to the westport festival....

I'd stick to westport!

Sea Sessions was a massive let down, poorly organised, and very meh. Wouldn't bother with it again unless the headliners were Led Zepplin, The Who, Pink Floyd and Nirvava
