They're not at NASS this year IBLC, They're usually always there

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I'd say Global Gathering has a bit more strength in depth than Creamfields.

They're both pretty much on a par though.

[Samilktray]

Creamfields looks weak, to me anyway.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

You'd go to Global Gathering in the hope that Skepta did Oynama Sikidim Sikidim.

[Filbert_Ross]

Personal preferencereally, Im not a fan of the Global lineup. Although alot of my favourite DJ's are at Creamfields, the chances are the best one's will clash so it won't be as good as I would like.

Chase & Status announced for Benicassim.

Wasn't a huge fan of their latest effort, like a fair bit of their stuff though, and I reckon they'll be cracking live. My brother saw them not long back and has told me very good things.

One more big headliner just to ice the cake would be special.

Nah it's about a 2 hour flight from where, i live but i'm going to try this year. $500 for 5 nights camping and 3 day festival isn't bad plus flights definetly a goer and i've heard good things.

[hairy]

Saw Kele last year and it was one of the best gigs I have been to

Saw Kele last year and it was one of the best gigs I have been to

Likewise, was one of my Leeds festival highlights from last year.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Leaving for Benicassim in the early hours of Tuesday morning with Joe. and Tilley.

Can't wait.

[ousefox]

Off to Leeds Fest now, first ever festival so what should i expect?!

[James.]

Lovebox in London tomorrow and Saturday. Soundwave in Croatia next weekend.

[Samilktray]

Lovebox in London tomorrow and Saturday. Soundwave in Croatia next weekend.

The line up for Lovebox is fucking fantastic.

Who you aiming to see?

[Bugg]

Anyone who's been to Global Gathering before recommend it?

Probably not going this year, but next year seems appealing.

Also, I'd recommend the Relentless: NASS festival in Somerset to someone as a good festival to go to if you are into Dubstep/Drum and Bass as they had a good line-up this year. Not an expensive festival either at around £80.

This years line up is incredibly good

[Bugg]

This years line up is incredibly good

It does look really good, but I don't have the money and don't you have to be 18 to go aswell?

Hopefully next year has an equally awesome line-up so I can go then.
