Glasto doesn't appeal to me really, none of the 'big' ones do tbh.

Reading this weekend.

Going to pitch my tent up after work today, go home then go straight after work tomorrow and meet all my mates there

I'm going to Reading on Sunday.
Just to see Muse, don't care about anyone else tbh.

What sort of time will Muse be on?

You've got that well planned! Last year we got earlybird tickets so we went down on the Wednesday afternoon. It was a loooonggg festival!

I went to High Voltage festival last month, which was brilliant despite a few issues with the sound. That's it for me apart from stewarding at Weyfest like I do every year (a fairly small local festival).

I've been to and enjoyed v and glasto, I've also been to bestival and thought it was terrible in.comparison and wouldn't go again.

Just Sonisphere for me, I might go to one or two others next year.

Sonsiphere was awesome though

Outlook festival in Croatia next week, can't wait.

Only one I did was the second day of the I'll Be Your Mirror festival at Alexandra Palace, which was an ATP event curated by Portishead. I saw Godspeed You Black Emperor, Swans, Grinderman, Liars, S.C.U.M. and Portishead.

It was... awesome! To see Godspeed and Portishead on the same day was just fantastic.

Excellent! NJ line up looks good!

Swans was an intense wall of noise - I recommend a lie down somewhere quiet afterwards!

Not been to any myself but GF gone to Leeds fest this week Weds to Monday so I get 5 days of peace and quiet

Went to Exit in Serbia last month and it was probably one of the best things I've ever done.

Will consider Croatia next year I think.

Sorry

The one and only festival I've been to was Secret Garden Party 2011. The vibe and set up was out of this world.

Anyone else been, what did you think and are there any festivals like it that I should be checking out?

Garry1990 · 25 Aug 2011 at 19:09

Creamfields!! Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday

mattjd · 25 Aug 2011 at 19:18

Leeds tomorrow!

Looking forward to Enter Shikari, Panic! at the Disco, Elbow and Muse ofc!

Hope I can get a semi decent place to pitch my tent :S
