I'll take a few more answers like that.

I don't see the point in festivals, or how you can enjoy them anymore? I went to Leeds 2 years ago and it was just full of 16/17 year olds off their heads and just generally ing everyone off!!

In seeming contradiction to my previous post, I'm now off to 'Specialized - The Big One Two' in Dorset in November as I've kindly been gifted a press pass.

I love festivals now as much as I always have.
I'm in my mid 20s and been to at least one festival every year for probably 8 years now.
While the music is probably slightly worse (will always happen with the sheer volume of festivals bands have the option of playing now) I don't think the atmosphere is generally any different.
I've been to Leeds and TITP regularly and I don't buy into this 'kids are taking over at festivals' stuff. 16/17 year olds have always been at events like this.

Gutted I couldn't go to Glastonbury this year, never been and always wanted to. Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling and Kasabian in the week at Brid Spa certainly softens the blow though.

Glastonbury for me, my last one! Too old for five days on the lash and sleeping on rough ground.

My Dad's been going for years and he's just gone 70 so you need to man up

I find an airbed makes it more bareable.

Decided to get a T in T Park ticket with some mates today.
Looking forward to it a lot although I'm not overly keen on the lineup this year.

Not a festival/event as such, but following up my Scandinavia tour last year (Keane in Copenhagen and Orbital in Oslo 2 days later) with a trip to Geneva to see Peter Gabriel in October

Warrington Music Festival have announced their line for 19th-21st July, and it includes MADCHESTER heavyweights, 'The Happy Mondays' playing their only free show of the year! [WAM] is covering the event (unofficially of course!), so can find all the latest information and original media content on our facebook event page! https://www.facebook.com/events/483539838389083 I'd certainly say check out the event if you haven't already, into it's 7th year!!

Great weather and a tremendous line up for those of you at Glastonbury this weekend. Enjoy, I'm stupidly jealous.

Wacken tomorrow, via Hamburg/St Pauli . Although you can find better lineups elsewhere, you can't beat Wacken as a festival as a whole. Well worth going to, if you're into the heavier end of the musical spectrum.
