anyone ? im particularly excited about iron maiden . or was that last year ...


back to the topic . aside from perez and tal and so on who is braving this uk festival ?

[TheNew]

Ben is going? Ooh, lovely.


I am indeed, and I know Nia is too.

[nia]

IM GOING!!!!!!! woohooooo!!

and no one is going to stop me!

[rosemary's baby]

I'm going and can't wait. I think I'll just take some shrooms when Maiden come on, to get through it.

[nia]

only four people going? :( ....dammnit! i was hoping to raid your tents and eat your food.

[TheNew]

You've give this thread a few hours! Not everyone is on all day, Nia. ;)
Plus it is six, not four.

Why anyone would go for the line up is beyond me, in all honesty.

[jackl]

I'll go if I can muster the funds.

Anyone for Glastonbury?

I'd love to be there just to see if you are real :lol:

[madonnaxii]

I'm going to either Reading or Leeds. Most likely Leeds though.

Oh, the lineup is laughable. The thought of Interpol prospectively playing is tempting though.

Come!

That's quite decent of you, thanks. I just may resort to busking - any requests?.

As for Jayne - what do you mean the Glasto lineup is crap? Kylie alone pays back the admission price!

[rosemary's baby]

Sarcasm no? Always loved a bit of busking though.
I won't be going to Glastonbury this year. The line-up is a joke.

[Cherb]

I may actually be stewarding at Reading - I'll let you break the rules if I do :ph34r: - but I'll definitely be there...somewhere...probably dying for a decent cup of tea.
Wooo!

fightstar?..... well i might take a peek at them, i wonder if Matt and James will be in the crowd too?

[Cherb]

I really don't see how Roots Manuva on the Main Stage is gonna work - last year on the dance stage thing was bloody perfect for him, why move him, why!?
I'm very happy about the addition of BSP; Reading festival wouldn't be the same without them. And I haven't seen TCTC for an age, but it looks as though they'll clash with Queens...meh.

I am stewarding, ha, brilliance.

[youresocutewhen...]

I want to go. I am going to NO festivals (so far).
i wish to cry and curl up as my first ever free holiday which is long and free is going to be less fun...best start looking for a job
any body want to roll me up in their tent/sleeping bag/strange foam mattress thingymajig?

Same here.
I could never go to the UK for that but there are some real ace ones in Germany, too.
Well I can't really blame my mother for not letting her 15-year-old daughter go to a festival on her own. :rolleyes:

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB. Wow.

This is what I hate about festivals. I'd have to see BRMC but the Pixies and Qotsa, too.
