Sturtpot Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Going to Download this year, Faith No More baby!!!! For those going down to Download, how are you getting there? Was at Roskilde last year for my stagger and totally agree with Dave-IRL it was totally well organised and the line up last year and this year was pretty special. Would love to go back!!!Well I think i'll be getting the Happy Bus again as it was really good banter last year. My mate bought a ticket from OneUp for 79 compared to 72 on the website. I was thinking of driving down for a wee while but I only passed my test 2 months ago so thats probably not the best of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Aye, it's great! Fantastic atmosphere, less neds, quality local food and drink, decent bands (mostly found in the wee tents).Fully recommend it Agreed! You could probably bump into one of the other bands in a tent too.I'm still wavering on the idea of going to End of the Road again, because it was awesome last year, but I dunno, it seemed all of the bands we were pretty much there to see toured and played Glasgow anyway, so I might just wait for their individual tours to be announced. Still want to go to Roskilde/Primavera/ATP/Benicassim at some point too. Maybe next year if I've got the dollah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA the brando Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I haven't been to T in the Park before however I've heard from my mates who are regulars that its just kinda degenerated over the last few years into a musically predictable, drug infused, unsociable, stab-fest... QUOTE]Yeah but there`s bad points too!Its just got too big really, but i still find it hard to resist - still get the buzz when i get there.first year i went was 96 at strathclyde park and just feel that each year since has been slightly different, obviously through age and atmosphere.really like the smaller festival idea, but at the moment they cant compete, line-up wise,but they have the better atmosphere for sure.

It's pretty much the dirtiest thing in the world, althooough; even though even if the line-up doesn't look so great it's rare that two bands you like out of the hoard of shite will be on at the same time so it's still usually got an awesome money paid to get in:worth of bands you've seen ratio.As for Benicassim; I tried so hard to get my friends to think it was a good idea to go there instead of on their 6th year holiday, but they're rubbish and thought Ayia Napa was a better bet. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just Rock Ness for me this year so far, though Wizard is a definite possibility as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-booking booze as well essentially means just carrying in a bag of clothes...good times. But aye, TitP can be full of dirty minks but I can put up with that prospect to see Blur, Doves and Elbow.

*Amy* Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The Lock-Up Stage at Leeds/ Reading is bloody brilliant but I've seen most bands I'd want to see there already and know a few of them are doing headline dates around it, including The Flatliners, Streetlight Manifesto and and A Wilhelm Scream, so I'll hopefully catch one or two then!I'm going to Rebellion in August after touring for a fortnight. Really can't wait for it, and it's going to be the first festival I've been to. The line-up is fab, most excited for Jaya the Cat, Chief, Sonic Boom Six (& Baby Boom), Suicide Bid, Chris Murray, Babar Luck, The Skints, Babylon Whackers, JB Conspiracy, The King Blues & H20... H20!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
