Good Music Festivals!

[AlexOC]

Hey Lovelies...

Anyway, i've come to the conclusion that concerts are turd nowadays so i wanna go to some decent festivals... Apart from Glasto and the Wireless festival i don't know any..

Which festivals are good... (no age limit like 18, im 15, looking for this year and next..) 1Day or a few days, anywhere in the UK..

Thanksies.

[Smits]

Leeds festival is decent

[AlexOC]

Just used this amazing thing called Google and looked it up..

2009's line up was decent, TING IS bruv, i need a over 18 to go with, as with wireless festival, and a lot other.. I need to find a cool 18 year old friend who likes music haha

[Imagine]

Pretty sure most festivals will be over 18 unless acompanied by an adult

Y Not Festival is pretty good, I went last year and will be returning this year, no age limit I believe. Relatively small, just 3,000 people and not the biggest of bands (Noah and the whale headlined) but if you like stuff which is borderline mainstream it's good, I discovered a lot of new artists there.

It's in some remote region of the Peak District btw :P

Isle of wight festival isn't looking too bad at all this year.
V Festival usually looks good as well.
One that i'm going to this year, it's only one day but the Slam Dunk Festival, just loads of Pop Punk bands really. www.myspace.com/slamdunkclub it's only about £20 ;)

reading/leeds is 16+ without an adult, not that they ever ID anyway. either that or latitude if you want something chilllllllll

[Black_Apalachi]

Glasto is the best but next to no chance of getting a ticket now and Reading looks pretty good this year.

Yeah, that's why me and my friends decided to go to reading this year. The line-up hasn't been announced yet but I think it's coming out sometime late march :) It's not cheap but it should be funfunfun.

On twitter they said it was fake but omg that would be like my dream line up (minus linkin park, urgh)

[Black_Apalachi]

Omg Link Park are epic :( But T in the Park's is pretty much the same but a tiny bit better (Kasabian, Stereophonics, The Coral) :8

[danzooo]

T IN THE PARKKKK!!!!! (http://www.tinthepark.com/)

[Black_Apalachi]

T in the Park looks like the best line-up so far. Not much info out about the others yet though.

Linkin* Park ;l

[AlexOC]

Would love most of them acts, always wanted to see Paolo, eminems first show in europe for 5 years and im his biggest fan, ive even got the underground **** that he did with skam.

prodigy, muse, kasabian!

Its in Scooooootland though... Might try and make it up there.

[Andys]

T in the park line up is actually amazing.
******* gay that im not 16.

[Wahey]

T In The Park is normally good, this year aint that amazing imo
Lucky for me i just live about 1 or 2 miles from where it's held, go me

[Japan]

Reading rock festival is awesome.

[untrustus]

all reading posters you've seen so far are fake. line-up is announced on march 31.

Thought so lol :P

Can someone explain one thing to me please; how are Reading and Leeds the same thing when one's in London and the other's more Northern than me?

[AlexOC]

Haha, T in the Park and Oxegen are on the exact same days and have like 90% same line-up..

[Alexx..]

Cause they're the exact same festival with the same line up (different days obv), by the same sponsor and everything. Theres two so the northerners can go to the leeds one and the southerners can go to the reading one. Its that good loads of people wanna go to them.:)

[Black_Apalachi]

Oh i see, cheers :D

Seriously?! definitely a fake line-up then!

[AlexOC]

Seriously?! definitely a fake line-up then!

the acts will be on diffferent days, they are both the official line-up posters

you silly turd!

[Black_Apalachi]

Oh OK well whichever performance is second by each act probably won't be amazing then - with all the travelling and stuff immediately between two performances about a day apart.

you don't know what you're talking about. you're basically saying when a band goes on tour the shows get progressively worse?!

[Black_Apalachi]

I knew someone would come up with that, but I would have thought during tours there's more time between shows.

[Jordy]

Even when it comes to tours they perform one day after another, often for five consecutive nights which is pretty considerable stuff. I don't really think there's any sense to that statement tbh, the likes of V Festival and Leeds/Reading are very successful under that format.

[Black_Apalachi]

Alex was blates suggesting something similar to me along the lines of it not being possible to have the same acts performing well at both! Leave me alone :'(

[RhianonS]

For anyone that hasn't managed to get hold of tickets to some of these great festivals coming up, I'm currently working on a great campaign called ‘Summer of Give’, launched by v this year.

The campaign offers 18-25 year olds in England the chance to get FREE festival tickets this summer – we're simply asking people to volunteer their time and talents in return for festival tickets at Isle of Wight, V Festival, T4 on the Beach, Relentless Boardmasters and Creamfields.

If you have a skill to share and show other festival go-ers, then log on to www.vinspired.com/summeofgive (http://www.vinspired.com/summeofgive) and tell v what you can do. So whether it's music, dance, photography, writing or even fashion styling skills that make you stand out from the crowd, v needs your help to entertain at each festival for just four hours a day. That’s it!

18-25 year olds looking for more general volunteering opportunities at festivals can still visit vinspired.com to see how else they can get involved in the festival scene for free this summer.

All the fun with none of the costs - what more could you ask for?!

amazing bump there
