The Festival thread

[Lucky Pierre]

Just got home from Leeds queuing in M*nchester, 8 hours in the freezing cold outside HMV. Got the tickets though!

[WaltonRed]

i got some too

[Chris]

Oh my fucking god. That's the worst line-up in the history of ever. It's almost Glasto-shit. Thank the Lord I can't afford a ticket. kthxbye.

Festivals are a sad state this year. Thats the best line up bar possibly the Old Chill and thats saying something. I'm just spending my pennies (£40) at the Brighton Great Escape, small bands but millions over 3 days over the city. Including Fanfarlo woooop. Possibly Loop festival too which inlcudes the joy of having to walk across a dual carraigeway to get to stage throughout the day.

Also £170 for a festival?? Fuck off.

[WaltonRed]

Suprise suprise, someone who isnt going to a festival having a go at the line ups.

 

Shame on you Chris, shame on you and your household!

"I'm not going! The lineup's shit! It's shit because I'm not going!"

 

Something like that?

Im thinking of going to rock people in checz republic. Tickets are about £40 for 3 days festival. Beer is 1.2 euro a pint and Placebo are headlining.

 

cant be bad

[Scott_M]

I'm not going as I'm not keen on the line up. Too many wimpy indie bands.

 

Of all the Leeds bands annouced so far, I'd go see Brand New, Deftones, Funeral For A Friend & The Gaslight Anthem.

 

4 bans in 3 days doesn't equal value for money, I'd be leaving the arena at 5pm everyday!

[WaltonRed]

I'm looking forward to it.

 

Its my fifth on the bounce and it'll be my testamonial festival overall.

[Carradona]

Get in, MGMT have just been confirmed for Ibiza Rocks.

 

I went to see them at Oxegen last year. It was mental. After about 5 or 6 songs, the tent was absolutely rammed and people started to climb those rafter things that hold up the tent (to get a better view). MGMT walked off the stage and refused to play until calmness was restored. One girl actualy climbed the whole way to the top of one of the rafters (at least 50 foot high). When she made her way back down, she got all sorts of things thrown at her. There is a short video clip of it here:

Anyway, after 15 minutes, MGMT came back out on stage and sang 3 more songs: Kids, Time to Pretend and Electric Feel.

 

Class.

The exact same for me dude. It's woeful.

[WaltonRed]

I fancied Oxygen but its just getting over to Ireland and back.

 

It adds loads of money on the overall cost.

 

One day though.

[Chris]

Enjoy Radiohead, pussy.

[WaltonRed]

Its probably got something to do with the fact you both like woeful music to be fair.

[Woo]

Enjoy Radiohead, pussy.

 

Hahahaha!

The lineup this year is decent enough (not to different from last years lineup mind you) but I just can't be bothered forking out mopney for a ticket when there is a chance I'm going away on a las holiday again this year.

 

You can get to and from Ireland for pretty cheap (on the ferry).

And the fact that Leeds isn't an emo/metal festy.

[Woo]

Rock Werchter :: Line up

 

Very, very tempting.

[WaltonRed]

What ferry company do you reckon I checked one and it was loads.

 

Ryanair was a rip off as well.

[Chris]

Suprise suprise, someone who isnt going to a festival having a go at the line ups.

 

Shame on you Chris, shame on you and your household!

 

I've been to Leeds for the last three years and was fully planning to go this year, but dude... come on? It's atrocious.
