Why exactly?? Who in their right mind (ie over 10, possessing musical intelligence) would wanna see Linkin Park, Bizkit and Iron Maiden??

You're damn right the K! Weekender sucks. Minimum six people booked at a time. £90 fuckin each!!! Reading's the same price, and way better. And you can see Glassjaw on April 16th @ London Astoria (I know I am) and Amen you can see anytime in April on their Wildhearts tour. The rest of the bill is turgid bollox.

I'm going to Reading for the bands (and nightime drugs) and V for the drugs (and nightime...um, drugs).

Leeds for music and Drugs?


How stringent are they about 18+?

[truthaddict11]

I want to go see Audioslave on Lollapalooza but the nearest show is 4 hours away

[pixie]

Me is going to (b)lowlands baybeee :D

[mentalbunny]

The thing is I might get carted off to some christian thing instead of reading :sad: I'd love to go to V2003 but I'll probably be in France.

[hawarameen]

V is good, ive been the past 4 years but i think i will go to Reading this time cos its the same price but an extra day.

V2003 so far, Red hot chilli peppers (as last year)
Coldplay headlining

[mcleodstickle]

Good job i could beat any SOuthern softy who tried to stop me no?

Nice result GR by the way, thought Mr Wenger really knew what he was doing taking off Henry with a 1 goal lead.

Leeds still looks like the best bet for me.

*Ahem*

Iron Maiden founded nothing. Modern metal is just a combination of Faith No More and Metallica. Punk has fuckall to do with Iron Maiden and grunge is their ideological opposite.

What's wrong with them?? They suck, they smell, they shoulda split ages ago, and their fans are invariably ****s.

[Invader Zim]

Thanks now im a **** even though you have never even met me, and also songs like Run to the hills are now shit... right that shows what an open minded, liberal person you are...

Yeh i know fuck all about music right but at least i dont set my political idiology by it.

If you dont mind i will simply take every thing you say as the ravings of an opinionated twat.

[socialist2000]

erm i will just be ignoring this thread now before it becomes a shouting match, between you and AK47

[hawarameen]

GR - ive been to staford every time but like i said i fancy a change this year.

there are some good festivals in holland also

[mcleodstickle]

no offers on buying me a ticket for any of them yet ??

damn it was worth a try dont you think

illl just sulk now until the fetival ok?

right.

*goes off into corner*

[guerrillaradio]

*Ahem*

A round of applause please for AK47 totally missing the point of my post. The last sentence of my previous post was quite obviously tongue in cheek. It's the kinda thing I say to my 6ft 6 goth-metal mate who'd kick the shit outta me if I was serious...

And by ideological, I meant more in terms of morality and artistic beliefs than politics. I reckon you should open your eyes more. You never know, you might see something...

[pixie]

Sorry for bringing this thread up again, but i'd like to ask if anyones going to lowlands or werchter, i'd love to meet some people from the board :D

[mcleodstickle]

you should be sorry. Since no one has offered to pay for a ticket and given me an excuse for my parents, i shant be attending any.
still.

[pixie]

Get a job :P

[mentalbunny]

I hope I'm going to reading, when do tickets come out?

[rumblefish86]

Im going to the manchester move festival in July! The best band in the world are playing! MANIC STREET PREACHERS! I cant wait!

[themanwill]

I've already got my reading tickets coz I missed out on weekend ones last year so I just had to go for the day. It stilled ruled though. The proper tickets will probably come out around may time I should think.
You're right about putting festivals in during exam times as well last year I missed the Ozzfest so I didn't get to see Tool which sucked and this year Download its the same. But this is the last year of exams for me, so no such problems next year.

[pixie]

Meh, i'm going to see ... Radiohead
Take that :P

[Invader Zim]

seeing placebo in 2 weeks....

[mentalbunny]

I'm so jealous, pixie!!!! You'll have to tell us how good they were and stuff.

AK47, where are you seeing them?
