The Festival thread

[Joe Strummer]

Anyone hoping to get to some this year. I've always wanted to go Glastonbury but am put off this year by Jay Z and Neil Diamond plus it's always really hard to get a ticket.

 

The T in the Park line up looks good. Maybe I'll go this one. Shame it's so fucking far away. T In The Park line-up announced | News | NME.COM

 

If rumours are anything to go by the V festival looks like being pretty shit.

 

Benicassim would be boss to go to but it's gonna cost you a little more.

[Spy Bee]

I think I'll stay in this year and lie on a comfy sofa drinking cold beer and pissing in a toilet which is clean.

 

Then when they all come round I will regret not getting any tickets.

[loadsoftrophies]

I heard The Verve are lined up for a few festivals, never seen them but i heard they're great live.

[loadsoftrophies]

Oh and My Bloody Valentine are rumoured for a tour as well.

[Spy Bee]

 

Probably will do Wakestock and hope that it isn't abandoned due to fuckloads of mud this year.

[loadsoftrophies]

I'll be heading to electric picnic again this year although i'll be under pressure as i'm getting married 2 weeks after it.

 

One of my highlights from last year

I tell you what mate, I reckon Jay Z will blow the socks off Glastonbury. He'll almost certainly take The Roots as his live backing group as he did for MTV Unplugged, and I reckon he'll also use the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, too. Don't underestimate the bloke. He'll put on a proper show and change quite a few pre-conceived ideas about hip hop at Glastonbury this year, I'll wager.

[Stouffer]

T in the park does have a cracking line up, I'll probably just watch it on the box supping lager cans tho'.

[Lapskaus]

im trying to book tickets for pinkpop festival in the Netherlands. Immense line-up.

 

fucking ticketmaster cunts , cant get through

[Lapskaus]

.....aaaah, oh, yeah sure, of course you dont ship to anywhere else than the Netherlands...Fuck, I need a drink

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

Oh and My Bloody Valentine are rumoured for a tour as well.

 

They were ace back in the day....saw them loads of times. Whenever and wherever they played, we tried to be there. The amount of mates I visited during Uni days in different towns and cities just to see bands like That Petrol Emotion, MBV, Pixies etc...My Bloody Valentine were a good live act, the Isn't Anything time was around the best, saw them on the Loveless tour a good few times also.

Like; it's shit?

[NelCarra]

If the Leeds fest lineup aint as good as last year I'll prob be going V

[Carradona]

I got my Oxegen ticket in the post yesterday morning. I've been told that basically the same lineup scheduled for T in the Park will be the same lineup for Oxegen. Is this correct? If so, I can't wait. REM have already been confirmed for Oxegen, and if The Verve get confirmed then that is possibly my two favourite bands of the 90s going.

Been to Leeds the last four years and Ill be going again, it doesnt matter about the headliners its always quality camping with your mates and they always have boss lille bands on further down.

 

I went to Glasto last year and hopefully ill be there again. How dare you rip Neil Diamond! its one of the reasons im looking forward to it this year, he will be ace because he's so woeful!

 

If the headliners put you off glasto you dont deserve to go so there!

[Remmie]

I've bought my ticket to Benicassim. No Glastonbury this year though.

[Karl_b]

There's one in the Netherlands which CrouchieBoy (or Ghost) were telling me about which RATM are playing, I'd love to go to that but I don't think I'll be able to afford it. Glastonbury would be great, Jay-Z could be a brilliant show.

 

I've never been to a festival, always due to money, I need to break myself in during the next couple of years.

Its one of the great joys in life. Friends and music, what more could you want?

Are there beer and t-shirts/pin badges on sale?

[WaltonRed]

ha ha, yes there are.

 

I have a mate and every year he says ill come, ill come but he never does and he will regret it.

 

Just do it, its worth it.

[Karl_b]

ha ha, yes there are.

 

Woohoo!

I was planning on going to Camp America this summer, but my bastard application got rejected (no childcare experience) so instead I have decided I am going to go to Glastonbury for my first ever festival.

Try applying to work in the kitchens etc instead. A mate of mine did that and said the job wasn't that shit but it didn't matter anyway as he had such a great time there and travelling afterwards.

[mcflynn]

Ill probably go to Oxegen again.
