When former builder Simon Taffe set about launching End of the Road festival in 2006 off a drunken whim, he had no idea if it would last. It took selling his own home and even convincing a friend to remortgage his house, but in the end he just about brought the first weekend over the line.
Nineteen years later, EOTR has grown to be a comfortable rival to the likes of fellow alt music champion Green Man – despite the Welsh festival being around double the size. EOTR will appeal to people who like smaller crowds, or who get lost frequently (or, conversely, those who want less Welsh nationalism). Set across four main music stages - The Woods, The Boat, The Folly and Garden Stage - each provide a unique setting, never becoming too packed and each just a ten-or-so minute stroll away from each other.
