The reports and photos are in! Here what the Habbo Reporters had to say about this year's top festival.
As we were too old (steals Lost_Witness’ blanket and mug of cocoa), members of the Habbo staff were not allowed into the Underage Festival.
Instead we sent our competition winners into the fray with just a camera, pencil, paper and keen eye for information for company.
Here is their own rundown of events, top pics and a very special Habbo-eye view of the day.
Habbo name: GEOOOORGIA
As I approached the Underage Festival queues of people were stood there, the biggest queue I had seen in a long time so I could tell it was popular! As everyone went in, the music got louder and everyone started to get excited. Most of the teenagers were dressed in eccentric clothing and mostly everyone had their own style! There were stages where bands were playing which people crowded around, not forgetting the Habbo tent!
In the Habbo tent it was very "disco-like", people crowded in as they danced to the latest and oldest tunes around! It was like one big party! Luckily, the tent was quite big! There were numerous DJs livening up the mood, even dancing around sometimes! Inside the tent it was dark, flashing lights, and even a smoke machine! As it was the Habbo DJ tent, it obviously had to have something to do with Habbo inside... the disco lights were pictures of Habbos! A picture of a Habbo doing the Pogo Mogo spun around the room and pictures of different styles of Habbos flashed on the ceiling!
During all the dancing and the music Habbo gave away free retro clothing, surprisingly people went mad and started grabbing it as fast as they could! Within three minutes every piece of clothing had disappeared, I even managed to get myself some retro shorts which I put over my trousers, trendy, eh? If you were lucky enough to go to the Underage Festival you may have even been lucky enough to get some free Habbo credits from the Habbo DJ tent as they were being given out! Altogether, I think the Habbo DJ tent was one of the best tents at the festival as it was very unique in the way it was done (mostly all the music at the festival was rock, in the Habbo tent this was completely different and added a bit of change!), fancy lights and hundreds of people loving it.
Through the day I also popped into the Pollyworld tent, this was Habbo visitor, Polly Scattergood's tent! Earlier on that day I had seen her sing on a stage around the festival and I thought she was amazing. She sings in a very unique way which captures your attention and people loved it! Later on in the day she was singing in her tent, people were dying to get in and it was very popular! I was lucky to have a one-to-one chat with Polly and have found out some interesting information for you lucky Habbos! Polly was giving out a free CD at the festival, this was going to be her album but she then changed her mind, there were only a few hundred made, so keep yours safe if you got one! Also, Polly would really like to take her 'Pollyworld tent' to other festivals, I think this would be a good idea too as it looks pretty good and gives you a good impression of Polly as it looks like it has been planned and thought about. The Pollyworld tent was quite small, but was decorated really nicely. The floors were black and white, the ceiling was red with 'amputated dolls' hanging from it as Polly described them! It had two sections, the bigger second was dark, this was where people, including Polly, were playing their music. In the other second it was quite small, it had a 'homely' look about it, you could even get information about Polly in there by sliding bits in the wall! Overall, the Pollyword tent was very eye-catching and made Polly stand out amongst the crowd!
Catch some of GEOOORGIA’s videos!

Leeks:
This summer I was sent on a mission by the Habbo Staff! A mission only suited for the best and well frankly the best ‘raver’ there is. No wonder why I was chosen!
The line-up was massive this year with Dizzee Rascal, Gallows, Foals, The Maccabees, Frederick Blood-Royale and many more.
Here is my journal of the day:
1130 hours - The doors opened. As soon as I arrived I was handed a goodie bag which contained a t-shirt, headphones, a Habbo clip badge and other free goodies!
1200 hours - Straight to the food! Curly fries and tomato ketchup, a taste from heaven.
1343 hours - After a long time of moshing I came across a wonderful, pretty shed (which unfortunately cannot find in any gardening centre catalogue) called ‘Pollyworld’.
1401 hours - After exploring the magical world of Polly I galloped along to a new tent and I must say it was pretty hip! Yes it was the Habbo DJ Tent and it was very delicious with the Habbos floating the tent roof…
1404 hours - I received a Habbo postcard with 5 credits!
1532 hours - The Habbo wardrobe was opened and there was the vintage clothes (thanks to ‘Rokit‘)
1727 hours - Mostly everyone was at the main stage whilst Dizzee Rascal was performing, a lot of Pogo Mogo similar dances happening!
1818 hours - A huge amount of people visited the Habbo DJ Tent - There was conga, limbo and more games…
1956 hours - Legs ached and had no energy left - it was time to go home!
The best part of the day was the competitions and games at the end of the festival hosted by the DJs in the Habbo Tent. The DJs were offering prizes for the winners in each game; we played limbo, musical statues and even had a dance-off! Unfortunately I was too good and had to be disqualified which meant I couldn’t enter! Though I was disappointed I didn’t win…I mean couldn‘t win, the conga line made up for that!
The day after the festival I was searching around Habbo to get some feedback off some Habbos who went and this is what I received:
“The festival, at first, was a little boring and it took a while for it to get into full swing. Towards the end was where it really came alive; mosh & circle pits, people being lifted above the crowds, jumping for hours on end. It was one of the best days I've had in ages, I'd definitely give it a 5 out of 5.”

“I enjoyed the festival, however the more 'well known' artists were towards the end of the day. It would have been better if they were all mixed about and been through start of the day. I'll rate it around 4 out of 5”
- Bexter.…
“What can I say? Music, friends and freebies! What else could you possibly want? I‘ll defiantly rate the festival 4/5 - the weather cost the last point”
- Ews
It was definitely one of the best days of my life and I am glad Habbo gave me the opportunity to experience that; so thank you!
I hope you enjoyed the festival too - at London or in Habbo! Who knows, maybe there might be another one next year…
