Matt Posted 2 February 2008 Share Posted 2 February 2008 So who's going where? Me and my mates were talking the other day and we are considering going Global Gathering (I'm more into indie but don't mind my dance, Besides theres rumours bands may be appearing at Global this year), Download (A few of my mates went last year), And as soon as I mentioned the RATM rumour at Reading/Leeds we want to go there, and one of my mates normally going V so may tag along. TBH doubt we'll go Reading/Leeds although that would be the main one i'd want to go to, Download is the weekend of my birthday and family are organising a party (I think) so not sure if i'll be going there...I pretty keen on all 3 though so hopefully i'll be doing a few festivals this year.

Went to Reading a couple of years ago when Wolfmother an The Subways were playing, was decent weather and plenty to do around the campsite. Also alot of stages so if there is something on one stage you don't fancy there is bound to be something on another. My older brother went to Global Gathering last year, and said that there is a really vibrant community feel, with a tonne to do if none of the acts interest you. Like you, hes not that much into dance but he said that the atmosphere and excitement that some of the performers provoked made it a memorable experience. I'll see who is at where first but most likely to be Reading again. Go to all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finchy Posted 2 February 2008 Share Posted 2 February 2008 Been Reading for the last 2 years and i'm definitely going again this year, regardless of who's playing. It's just an amazing weekend, the best bits about it aren't even the music. Although their are some interesting rumours going around about the bands playing. Couldn't care less about RAGE but The Verve would be incredible and so would Kasabian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Smuts Posted 3 February 2008 Share Posted 3 February 2008 No festival has tickled my fancy yet but im a line up junky, ill wait till a silly little festival with a half quality half comedy line up appears and go to that, like last year when i went to Mad Dogs and Englishmen headlined by The Holloways and The Hoosiers. Support from Look See Proof, Blood Red Shoes, iForward Russia!, and a bunch more. Was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted 3 February 2008 Share Posted 3 February 2008 Hoping to get to Leeds this year, should be a great weekend with mates. Would be my first festival as well, just hope I can a. get tickets and b. afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finchy Posted 4 February 2008 Share Posted 4 February 2008 Hoping to get to Leeds this year, should be a great weekend with mates. Would be my first festival as well, just hope I can a. get tickets and b. afford it Both times i've been i have gone for the 'Coach and weekend camping package'. It's about £30 more than the normal weekend ticket but you get taken and brought back But anyway these packages don't sell out for weeks after the release, i don't know why more people don't get them. It's really convenient, and your probably gonna spend about £30 getting there anyway. But the money bit, well i can't help you with that . It is a very expensive festival, and the price goes up every year! Worth it tho IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman of the Bored Posted 4 February 2008 Share Posted 4 February 2008 I've booked a chalet for 6 at All Tomorrow's Parties in Butlins, Minehead. The one curated by Explosions in the Sky. Still thinking about going to Roskilde again. Will go to Summer Sundae as on our door step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 4 February 2008 Author Share Posted 4 February 2008 I've booked a chalet for 6 at All Tomorrow's Parties in Butlins, Minehead. The one curated by Explosions in the Sky. Still thinking about going to Roskilde again. Will go to Summer Sundae as on our door step. I've never been but my mate always gets flyers through about it, The line-up always looks pretty weak for that. Godiva Festival seems abit better if your looking for a local festival (And it's free - I think) was gonna go last year till some mate pulled out, Yeah it's in Coventry so that's the bad point, Last years main bands were Human League, Super Furry Animals, The Enemy, The Cribs. Hmmm actually just looked at last year Summer Sundae - Didn't realise The Pigeon Detective's, Malcolm Middleton played last year. And I knew Magic Numbers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kate Nash played but there abit popish for me. Expensive for the whats there really though 85 quid for a weekend ticket.

Finchy Posted 4 February 2008 Share Posted 4 February 2008 Good thing about summer sundae is the new bands that are on, they always have bands on that you haven't heard of at the time but by the next year they are pretty big. In 06 Jamie T and Larrikin Love played on a really small stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 4 February 2008 Share Posted 4 February 2008 I can't imagine I'll have the money for Reading or Download by the time the tickets are on sale, but if I can it'll be a case of whichever my friends prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 February 2008 Share Posted 16 February 2008 I think I read somewhere that all three headliners at Reading this year are American, and I vaguely remeber hearing talk of Rage, Metallica, and the Killers. I'd like to see a British band up there myself but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
