A man has caused quite a stir on social media this week after claiming that people of a certain age ‘ruin the vibe’ when the attend festivals.
In a Tweet that’s now been shared thousands of time, Daniel claimed that anyone over the age of 35 at a music festival was ‘weirding everyone out’.
Naturally, a lot of people in that age bracket have responded with outrage, flooding the thread with pictures of themselves enjoying live music events.
The original post claimed: “people over the age of 35 (and that’s pushing it) attending music festivals don’t realise they’re ruining the vibe and weirding everyone out.

“you might think you’re living your best life but you’re actually living your most embarrassing life. try a real ale festival instead.”
Thousands have responded saying people should be free to attend any event they fancy and enjoy life, at all ages.

One person said: “So sh*te to see how many likes this genuinely has, let people do what they want and enjoy their life they’re not bothering anyone?”
Another said: “Please my under-35 brethren, release yourselves from the shackles of giving f**ks about other people living their lives, if it’s ruining your vibe, your vibe wasn’t strong enough to begin with.”

Someone pointed out that the average performer age at some of the biggest festivals in the world tends to be over 35.
That includes Parklife in our own city this weekend, where the headliners include 50 Cent (46 years old), Chase & Status (40 and 41 respectively), Eric Prydz (45) and Jessie Ware (37).
Not to mention Glastonbury, which will be headlined by music royalty like Paul McCartney, Diana Ross and Noel Gallagher – all of whom are well past their 35th birthdays.
One person Tweeted: “@glastonbury will you please tell the pyramid stage they’re weirding everyone out.”

The original poster – who has now changed his profile picture to the words ‘chill out’ – said: “Can’t respond to everyone, but please stop sending me photos of yourself at festivals, you look ridiculous. and that’s coming from me and my marker pen hair. at least I know i look stupid.”
He also said that he ‘wouldn’t show up to music festivals’ personally, because: “I’m in my 40s so it would be ridiculous. i tend to my allotment, read books and walk the dog. let the kids have their fun. my dad wasn’t at the same gigs as me and i won’t be at the same ones as my kids. it’s perfectly normal.”

Manchester has been named one of the most ‘affordable’ cities in the UK – this is why
Emily Sergeant
A list of the top 10 most affordable cities in the UK has been revealed, and Manchester has made the cut for one very specific reason.
On a bit of a budget? Aren’t we all.
The cost of living crisis has been raging on for quite a few years now, and unfortunately, despite how much we all wish for it to, it doesn’t appear to be slowing down – with prices for everyday items, especially typical fridge and cupboard stables, shooting up by the day, even though supermarkets are showing efforts to prevent it.
And it’s the noticeable price increases in groceries that led delivery insurance provider, Street Cover, to uncover which UK cities don’t strain your food shopping budgets too much just yet.
As it was found that food and non-alcoholic drinks inflation reached 1.3% this past summer, a new study has revealed that Sheffield is officially the most affordable city in the UK, with several other northern locations on the list.

The study compared the 2026 Grocery Index for the largest UK cities with the UK average, as well as available 2025 Grocery Indices, to track the changes in food affordability.
The cities are ranked by the index difference from the national average – which is 67.3 – but the report also uses direct monetary values for a grocery basket to provide some additional context too.
Manchester took sixth place on the list, with an average grocery basket price of £23.08, while some of the other northern cities in the top 10, besides Sheffield at number one, include Liverpool, Leeds, and Newcastle.

As the only other North West city in the top 10, Liverpool may have come in third place overall, but the study found that the grocery bill here is the smallest in terms of actual monetary numbers – with it setting shoppers back £22.08 for a regular supermarket basket, which is a whole £1 cheaper than in Manchester.
“Data shows households in the North East of England have the lowest average food spend in the country, around 11% below the UK average, while Yorkshire sits 6.6% below,” Al Taylor, who is the Head of Street Cover, commented on the study’s findings.
“Sheffield’s position at the top reflects lower property costs for retailers, less competition from premium chains, and a supermarket landscape dominated by value-led options.
“The practical implication for household budgets is significant – the difference between budget and premium shopping can easily be £1,000 or more per year for a family, which can be spent on other things or saved for future plans.”
