Anyone of you crudites hitting any festivals this year?

I managed to get tickets to the Isle of Wight this year after failing miserably to get through to the eavis money making hotline for glastonbury tickets!

The line up for Glasto looks awesome, but it'll rain (hopefully) and then it'll be sunny at the IOW as always and i can sit in the sun down cider to my hearts content!

    Hopefully going to Loveland festival in Amsterdam while we're there in August, but that's the only one this year I think.

    Next year though is Boom again so more than likely wing our way over to Portugal

    Reading and T in the Park... Think it's my 10th Reading, that calls for some sort of celebration, perhaps I'll get pissed in a field. Seems like the last night campfire ban is still on though, what a downer. Decent lineup so far, not legendary but not too shabby.

    And T in the Park, well, it's just up the road. Only going for the main weekend, lineup looks excellent for TITP as long as they don't put too much good stuff on the friday. House of Pain!

    Man I love festivals!

    I like FLC... Weezer are my recommendation, they were ridiculously good last year at Reading... band of the weekend without a doubt.

    I was never a fan of FLC until i saw them at Leeds and i was simply left with my jaw wide open they were that good. As for Weezer i was a massive fan in the 90's but i doubt i'd like to see them thesedays as they just seem to be another band jumping on the retro band wagon :cry:

    None for me (they don't do them down this way) but planning on being back in Europe next summer for a trip. Will look at Rockwerchter in Belgium as that always has good lineups (this year is prob the weakest i have seen and it's still good). http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/home/
