Kicking off on Thursday night, the Tootles Circus tent played host to a range of huge names, including mammoth sets from the likes of Loyle Carner and extremely special guests Everything Everything, before Ghostpoet headlined the evening with a mesmerising electro blend that left the inhabitants of The Neverland in awe. With DJ Luck & MC Neat ringing out the evening in Mermaids Lagoon with a true party-starter set, it ensured that The Neverland was set for a truly unforgettable three days.
In the Mermaid’s Lagoon, the kingdom of colour came to life with a realm full of glitter wrestling, late-night DJ sets and unprecedented drag shows. As the Mermaids stood guard in their caravan palaces (luring in many a Lost Boy and Pirate), the cocktail Tiki bar ensured that campers were well and truly transported into its Club Tropicana paradise. From the late night euphoric sets from The 2 Bears and Horse Meat Disco that burst out onto the Wondersands Beach, the drag shows in the Rainbow Rooms, the Mermaids well and truly made their Lagoon the ultimate destination in The Neverland.
The hub of Skull Ridge was The Goldmine, the abandoned bomb crater turned sweaty rave pit which hosted mammoth late-night sets from the likes of DJ Marky, Midland and a seen to be believed set from GIRLI. From laser-acrobatics to scorching fire-breathers, The Goldmine was a towering figure over The Neverland. With bass lasting long into the light, Skull Ridge was a corner of unabashed revelry that unearthed the dark side in all who entered.
Speaking about the weekend, festival founder Lee Denny said: “We found our Neverland! It’s been two years in the making and I was overwhelmed with the dazzling atmosphere. All credit must go to those that believed and refused to grow old. Crew, artists, pirates, mermaids, lost boys; you worked and partied so hard to bring this spectacular kingdom to life. See you next year :)” With Mermaids, Pirates and Lost Boys all returning home from The Neverland, plans turn to next year, with 2017 dates officially confirmed and an extremely limited batch of super earlybird tickets available now, and a special ticket package available for this year’s Neverland campers!
