Not one there I'd want to see....

I'd give Neil Young a look if he was on at a festival that I was already going too...

Yes and I know, it's all about the vibe not the bands....

I'm off to Download this year - camping with my son. I'm looking forward to it as there are plenty of older bands on that I liked and a few new ones that I want to hear.

Download looks pretty good. My neice will be there.

Being of a more punk persuasion I shall be at Rebellion in Blackpool though I will be lodging int he Imperial so not as punk as I was.

Anybody else??.............................. thought not.

My kids are right in the age range. Great thing about Glastonbury is the range of stages and music. There's no way i'd listen to anything my boy listens or him mine. But that's why it works. I don't think I ever ended up seeing all I thought I'd see and have always found something new to get excited about.

And yes IKEWYM about the rest.

So chucking plastic beer bottles half full of p1ss will be frowned upon then?

[NickNick]

Me too (never paid ), I've not been to Bestival but I've done the Isle of Wight festival 3 times but like many people of my age I'm a bit stuck with a toddler now.

This looks good mind: http://www.campbestival.net/

It's organised by the same guy (Rob D Bank) who also does Bestival but it's aimed at people with young kids, Dorset isn't too far to go either.

Yes, it's Camp Bestival I'm off to with my Toddler. Mr TUmble is playing don't cha know? (How times have changed)

Leeds/Reading festival has got a good line-up this year (depending on your tastes of course). I'm hoping to get to Leeds myself.

[leeperry]

Nah, I like smaller festivals these days, It's just too big and crowded.

[Alf W]

In my day you went for the entertainment off the stages - IYKWIM

Mind you it was the mid 80's

Lord that makes me feel REALLY old

Agree with you. Full of accountants these days with stupid hats. My first one was '85 when you risked trench foot and cholera and not eating for days and the police wouldn't dare come within a mile of the site. I think we saw some bands but can't really remember who.

Happy days.

I'd go if :

1) There were any decent bands to see
2) There was a No Kids rule

ah well...

humbug

[Ruprect]

Nah, didn't think I was allowed after getting a leave pass for last year. Except the missus dropped a bombshell the other day and said she'd have no issue with me going again (Cheers for telling me two months too late!)

Edit. Dude.

lol, exactly the same scenario here. "I don't mind you going to Glastonbury"... after its sold out

Mrs Ferret let me get a ticket for my Birthday so as long as the pig flu doesn't get it cancelled I will be there. Fingers crossed a mate has sorted some backstage camping too so could be a luxury weekend.

Looking forward to:

Eveson
Stanton Warriors
Skream
Caspa

Will be dupstep frenzy this year

Sod the headliners and big acts, lots of interest to see this year.
