Tall King Blox Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just been on you tube looking at previous Glasto highs and found myself wishing i was going there again this year, sadly due to the hopeful sell of my gaff and the patter of interested or otherwise punters treading my hallowed boards my heart cannot be satisfied, That said who's off to a festival this summer ? What festival and who are you looking forward to enjoying and why ? I have added my favourite Glasto moment, twas left of stage near an ice cream van, still sends shivers all over to watch it again, c,mon peeps....share Sorry mods, move if you feel it right but to quote, " Seasons end " ( Marrilion ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I shall be making my 'double hattrick' pilgrimage to Worthy Farm this year, can't wait! Its double exciting as its my honeymoon!

Well Glastonbury is a bloody good place to blow off a bit of steam after such an event. I just hope your Glasto-Divorce is not apocryphal for my Glasto-wedding!!!

Gazred Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I can recommend the Paleo festival in Nyon. Been a couple of times over the years. Its clean, well organised, good selection of bands and the food and drink available is always excellent. They even do day passes so if you prefer not to rough it with the masses in the camping areas you can stay in downtown Nyon where a free train will take you to the festival gates. Lovely backdrop of the Alps too! http://yeah.paleo.ch/en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Was considering V but the line up was diabolical. Can't even remember who it was, Beyonce or Rhianna but either way, nah. They sold themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Been to the Isle of Wight festival. Great friendly vibe. Only downside is travel. Obviously having to use the ferry companies to get there. Kind of extortionate prices during festival period if driving. Foot passenger prices seem reasonable. I tend to do the smaller festivals these days. Am looking forward to Lakefest up in Tewkesbury this year and The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Been to most festivals barring Glasto, never got the opportunity really but looking at the line ups and in recent years it really isn't for me. Best festivals I've been to is The Big Chill and Reading (although I'll never go again due to poor lineups imo) Seeing At The Drive-In at Reading a fair few years ago was pretty awesome mind! Would like to goto SONAR in Barcelona, not sure if they still hold it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Download, Glasto and V for me this year- Perhaps some others if I can score some freebies through some contacts (get me!!). I don't normally do as many but this my last summer before I hit 30 so want to spend it complaining that festivals are full of over 30's one last time! If anyone ever gets chance to go I would highly recommend Roskilde in Denmark. Not quite as good as Glastonbury but the closest I have found.

SaltfordRed Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Was considering V but the line up was diabolical. Can't even remember who it was, Beyonce or Rhianna but either way, nah. They sold themselves.It looks shit when you first look at it, but it's not actually that bad. The Vaccines, Beady Eye, The Courteeners, Pigeon Detectives and Fratellis are all very decent bands. Calvin Harris will put on a good show as will Steve Angello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Do you like drugs? Ooh yes, they're delicious. But very moreish. Speaking of narcotics, anyone else go see Happy Mondays at the Harbourside last weekend? SUPERB gig, with 808 State and The Farm also on the bill.
