From what I could make out from the err “young people” it was the hardcore cainer’s festival of choice. But that ended in tragedy at least once I think… it’s still going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you. festivals are fucking brilliant. the ones where people don’t bring their kids, I should add. 48 hours of hedonism, off your napper, dancing in a field. If you get lucky with the weather, nothing beats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the PL thing, only a couple of times like. Hitched there and back. You can do that when you're young. When you're not, just stop fooling yourself*. Genuinely looks shit to me now. * Actually would consider Lindisfarne festival for the hippy vibes but I'm away then. I quite fancied the Lindisfarne festival this year too. Line up is canny and there’s some good local DJs with a bit of a ‘Balearic’ vibe for after dark. But only in one of the ‘glamping’ bell tents. It’s a fucking pain trying to coordinate getting people my age to go though (4 of us that went to school together have discussed going). The other thing is the very real possibility of less than Balearic weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6273 Posted Friday at 16:01 Share Posted Friday at 16:01 (edited) I went to these 4 back in the day. Less than £30 to see a ton of bands across a full day! Was mint.

Think it was a couple of years back and they did a gig at the 02 academy in town with a couple of other bands, I think one was a RHCP act, and, iirc, the tickets were £50 Edited 4 hours ago by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
