[xkirstyx]

im going to Reading festival this year it will be my first festival is anyone going or have gone to any festivals and could anyone give me any tips?

I'm going to a few local festivals.

 

[Ian]

I've been to a few festivals - dance festivals - but not been to one for many years now.

However, I may be off to the Isle of Wight next weekend. A few people I know are going and one of them is really ill! If he doesn't recover in time, he said I can have his ticket at half the price.

I'd go for the atmosphere and to smoke loads of pot more than anything else. I don't like live music and camping that much.

I went to Isle of Wight last year, was good, even if the headliners were a bit before my time (Sex Pistols & The Police, I enjoyed them though), I did want to go to it this year but I can't afford it!

Maybe next year!

Got a guest pass for Reading Festival, private camping area and bar ftw. Just going for Radiohead really, the rest of the lineup is just okay. Unlike Ian above I pretty much just go for the music, i don't really like the atmosphere or camping.

Also going to Truck Fest. Supergrass and Ash are headlining, it's in my old village where I used to live and has a much nicer atmosphere.

im too old for that sort of malarky.. my poor back wouldnt be able to cope with camping nowadays

T4 on the beach

And anyone over the age of 10 is too old for that malarky...

word of the day : malarky

That's why I invested in a lovely inflatable bed for my tent, best thing I ever bought. Plus pretty much everyone wants to sleep in my tent, which at a festival is not always a bad thing. Eh. Eh.

I was going to go to Oxegen but am not going to bother now because for the price of a ticket I can just go away for a few days and we're not allowed request that weekend off.

at a festival - you REALLY dont want ANYTHING in your tent which might be worth more than a few pence...

Never been to any concert/festival or anything in my life. My first concert is this July cause Im going to T4 on the beach cool)

I've been to Reading 5 times now and to be honest I've never had any trouble with stealing. I agree with you though, i never take anything valuable, and while I wouldn't put it past some people to steal something as large as an airbed, like I say i've not had that happen yet.

My brother is going to that! He's been busy at the gym for the last three months as he doesn't want to be "another fat British tourist in Spain." :lol:

I don't think he understands that he can't get camping stuff in a carry-on cabin bag.

Haha.. yeaaaah..me too .

I also have that camping problem...

I desperatley want to go to Download this year because the lineup is so varied. They have Pendulum and The Prodigy, they have Motley Crue then they have the heavier stuff like Slipknot, but also some underdog bands like Skindred and then there is the almigty Korn.

Sonisphere is just a wet dream. Metallica, A7X, NIN, LOG, Machine Head, BFMV and Linkin Park always a good laugh, manufactured though they may be.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Err, the Freedom Festival.

That's it.

 

[Ben]

No.

 

[Gangster4Life]

No, I don't wanna go to no hippy fest cool)

 

[divvie_dave]

Sonisphere is the only one most likely... If not, then of to Amsterdam I go.
