Has anyone here ever been to a music festival? Where did you go? When did you go? Who did you see?

Has anyone got tickets for festivals this year? (IE festivals where you camp there for a weekend) Whos playing?

Does anyone actually ever want to go to a festival? Is there a particular band you would go to see it for?

Obviously i didnt see all those acts, the ones i saw (from what i can remember, there may of been more) where Radiohead, Paul Weller, Beck, Gavin DeGraw, The Divine Comedy, The Dead 60s, Daniel Powter, Razorlight, The Charlatans, James Dean Bradfield, The Feeling, We Are Scientists, The Cardigans, Orson, The Beautiful South and James Morrison

I would definitely go to a festival again, i just haven't got around to it, as they can be expensive and you need to plan in advance, and often book tickets with no idea who maybe playing

I would love to go, but have never been

Would you go to any, or would there be someone playing that would really make you want to go?

I'd go to any of the commercial ones, and there'd have to be plenty of names that i'm interested in.. and some big massive names there that i'd want to see just to be a part of

am thinking of edinburgh festival this year

whos playing?

I dont remember seeing tents, portaloo's and people rolling around in the mud at the Edinburgh Festival

Just like all other festivals

Its an atmosphere i've really fancied experiencing, and not even just the music but the little stalls all around the site I'm just not sure how i could do without my straightners lol

Wear a hat, thats what i did

At the V Festival this year, i see they have loads of great people. Of the line up, I'd love to see Oasis, The Killers, Pendulum, Ting Tings, Happy Mondays, Fatboy Slim and James Morrison


Decent idea

Reading Festival this year they have Kings of Leon Radiohead, Fall Out Boy Placebo Prodigy

Bruce Springsteen is at Glastonbury this year. Would be pretty cool to see him

I'd love to go to Sonisphere festival this year.

They've got Metallica, linkin park, nine inch nails, bullet for my valentine, avenged sevenfold, machine head, anthrax, lamb of god, alice in chains, airbourne, killing joke, thin lizzy, mastodon and the sword

(bold are the ones i want to see most)

Never heard of that one but it sounds great. Where is it?

Knebworth, its the first ever one and will be touring throughout europe

Ah yeah music festivals in europe - I've heard that Rock Werchter in Belgium and Roskilde in Denmark are excellent

I never heard of any really outside UK, but i've never gone looking lol

I didnt go looking lol I remember when we had "MTV Europe" that they used to advertise the european ones and also you get them mentioned in music magazines as well

like this so fantastic,,,,,

Is there any other festivals this year??

Download, V, Reading (we went last year), Isle of Wight, Oxegen and loads more.They happen every year.

I'll be at Download and maybe Sonisphere this year.

Looking good so far

The Big 4 at Sonisphere should be an absolute cracker (not sure what Diamond Head are there for though).

Mr Big at Download I'd go to dwonload just for Bullet, Zombie (although I prefer his White Zombie stuff "La Sexorcisto" era) and Danzig to be honest, not sure what Linkin Park are trying to achieve nowadays

Good to see Thin Lizzy back but what they are like now I don't know? Have they released any new stuff? The Danmed Things sound promising but they are a super-group of sorts (although Black Spiders could sue them for robbing their sound).

P.s Parkway Drive - ho yes!

Bullet were brilliant at download last year, will be good to hear them play some stuff off their new album though. I'm really looking forward to System of a Down, just hope they're not too rusty after their break. Rob Zombie, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn and Buckcherry should be pretty awesome too. I think Thin Lizzy are just having a comeback tour but not writing any new material, a bit like Billy Idol did last year.

I like music festivals
Does it have now?
