Music Festivals you have been to.

[Herr Tubthumper]

Beck, Morrissey, Weller, Dandy Warhols, James Dean Bradfield, Girls Aloud!!, Fatboy Slim, Phoenix, Regina Spektor, My Morning Jacket (did they cancel though??), Art Brut and a very young Paolo Nutini.

The weather was pretty good as I remember. Around that time V was still very corparate but the booking was much much better.

The girlfirend went the year before in '05 and saw Sonic Youth!

was Fatboy playing in the Hellmans Mayonnaise dance tent? Or was this bizarre sponsorship another year?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

And will almost certainly end up doing at least one day of Jabberwocky

Very reasonably priced as well, I thought. Don't tell too many people though, I haven't got my ticket yet.

That's the year. Great line up, enjoyed Beck and Phoenix as well. Oh, and Imogen Heap.

The only bad part was walking in to Daniel Powter on the mainstage singing "You've had a bad day!" - Most inappropriate soundtrack to that moment.

 

[Worthingite]

Cropredy - every year since 1983

Plus occasional trips to:

Cambridge Folk Festival
Nostel Priory
Knebworth
Reading
Guildfest
Beautiful Days
The Big Session

[BlockDpete]

For me; Monsters of Rock - 1 day didn't camp
V at Hylands Park, for many years
Glastonbury - mud year when The Who headlined
Glastonwick
Indietracks last year
Crawley Folk Festival, mainly for the beer and cider tent

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

Plumpton 1969 (Ginger Baker's Air Force topped the bill, Ritchie Havens didn't show up!)
Hyde park ('Stones in the Park') 1969
Isle of Wight 1970

Went to them as well although Plumpton 1969 was Pink Floyd not Airforce surely, Phun City at Clapham Worthing remember that well. Going to Glastonbury for the first time this year for my daughters 40th birthday, she said I had to. Just hope I survive at my age

[PFJ]

Every Monsters of Rock
Most Downloads (not going this weekend as a weak line up and Sonisphere looks much better )
All The Sonispheres so far including the upcoming one .
All the Ozzfests .
Reading 78-91 and then the odd one dayer , usually Sunday if there is a good metal /rock bill.
The Phoenix Festival. I think there were only ever 2.
Holidays in The Sun (not been to a rebellion yet)
F**k Reading (used to leave the Reading Festival and go back again for this tasty set of one dayers )
The odd Milton Keynes Bowl . Not so much now. Did go to the first ever gig there entitled Regatta Da Bowl. No prizes for guessing the headliners.
A few Hyde Parks as well . The Who was a good one . Will be going this year for Black Sabbath even though it ocupies the first day of Sonisphere .

Might also try Altfest this year . A new festival in the Midlands which seems to span all forms of music . Metal , dance , Indie , Goth. ..Nain headliners are The Cult and Marilyn Manson

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Cropredy once and going again in August and after that it's one called 'In the Woods'
