Anyone British here going to any of the festivals this year?

 

I got my Reading tickets, and I don't hate the line-up so far other that 50 Cent being lined up.

The Reading line up looks ok. They seem to have let go a little on their nu-metal obessesion of the past few years anyway.

 

I'm going to V, just to see the Pixies really. And maybe throw something at Dido.

Well, by some sort of miracle vortex loophole it looks like I'm going to Glastonbury after all. We'll see.

 

ATP always looks interesting, I can just never be arsed or get the time off work. Tindersticks~!

I picked up my tickets for Reading last night, good thing i did it then as it looks like most of the weekend tickets are sold out however i do expect some more to be released in the upcoming weeks.

Major reason i'm going to this years Reading as its pretty much a tradition now and this will mark my 5th year in a row i've gone.

Aside from Metallica, Slayer and Monster Magnet (just for a laugh) that is a poor, poor lineup.

 

Last year there was the goodness of Iron Maiden, Audioslave and the Deftones, and this year we get poop.

 

I'm thankful exams hindered me from buying a ticket.

I'm sure I can get drunk enough to enjoy the Libertines to *some* extent.

That will require a binge of 'Ben Hur' proportions

God, I'm glad I saved my money on a Reading ticket this year. For every Hundred Reasons or Funeral For A Friend (who I'm seeing tonight, so I don't mind missing them at Reading), there is tat like the Von Bondies or the White Stripes bringing it down. Download looks pretty good (Biffy Clyro, 36 Crazyfists and Akercocke on the same stage!), but I need to save money for my impending move to Nottingham :(

I saw Biffy Clyro and Hundred Reasons at the Astoria/Mean Fiddler a couple of months back, they both were truly worth the money and a bargain a just over a tenner.

I caught Hundred Reasons by accident last year, as I was trying to get a good spot for AFI, and they were excellent, much better than I was expecting. Sadly, I overslept for Biffy Clyro, which I wasn't too upset about until I bought the album a few months later and realised it was excellent

Opeth playing at Download....oh god here comes the wave of wannabe fan boys.

 

And still Bloodstock is the only thing worth paying money to see. Even with the random good metal bands at Download.

I might be going on the Sunday, to be honest this type of rock/metal music only makes up about 10% of my record collection but i'm sure it would be enjoyable. Saturday looks terrible though, I like Monster Magnet's older stuff (Spine Of God, Dopes To Infinity) a lot but I can't imagine sitting through much else.

Dillinger is playing on the same stage as Linkin Park...

 

What.

 

At least I can take comfort in knowing DEP will get booed and ignored mercilessly, as well as make one new fan.

Oh no....you did NOT just diss Turbonegro.

I haven't yet just because I don't want to hurt your feelings.

I'm going to T In The Park, as I do every year, mainly for David Bowie, The Strokes, The Pixies and The Libertines. I would've loved to go to the Isle Of Wight festival and/or the Move festival in Manchester, but unfortunately lack of money/lack of interested friends to go with means that i'll miss out (also, part of the Move festival over-laps with T In The Park, so I couldn't have went to both even if I wanted to.

To make up for the lack of festivals in my summer plans this year, i'm going to spend a week in Amsterdam and sit in my back garden the rest of the time drinking beer while listening to FNM.
