English: There are also a few things that clearly need sorting: the toilet facilities rely on the plumbing on the railway site, and on two nights this year (so for three of the six I've spent at the festival) they went out of order, leaving only a block just outside the fence available for use. Not the end of the world, but something needs to be done – much as I enjoyed coming to recognise the guy who makes the toilet announcements, and his cameo during the Hidden Cameras' set! But let's not take anything away from the organisers and everyone involved: it's really a bit special, is Indietracks, and I was particularly impressed by the calibre of the headliners (indeed, the whole line-up) this year. Even when things went wrong, like the toilets or the generator for the main stage packing up, the team sorted it out seemingly calmly, and certainly in time for the next day's action to start. I really really hope I get to go again next year – indie kids across the country (and beyond) look forward to it like it's Christmas.
