Music Festivals

[Calvin]

Does anyone know any decent festivals in England or Wales in the summer? +REP for suggestions :)

[Judas]

depends on what you mean by decent :P what kind of music are you into?

cos theres the obvious ones like glastonbury (but that's sold out i think), reading & leeds, V, isle of wight, which a lot of the time have a broad range of genres available, but then you get things like download and sonisphere that are for more rock and metal bands, or wireless is quite good because each day usually caters for a different type of music fan take a look at the line up i'm going to the friday :) http://www.wirelessfestival.co.uk/2011/lineup/

heres a list that you can pick from

reading/leeds
V festival
isle of wight
download
sonisphere
wireless
radio 1's big weekend (usually in may)
latitude
bestival
t4 on the beach
capital fm jingle bell ball
wakestock
underage

and i know you said in england or wales, but t in the park (scotland) and oxegen (ireland) could be worth a look at too :)

reading festival was insane

GLASTONBURY

a m a z i n g !!!

[FlyingJesus]

Creamfields if you want one that's constant good music at a decent price, you will have to be over 18 though as it's not one where kids run around with their WKD and band tees

And I'll have a look at the others too. The only thing thats gonna be bad about this is getting there aha. :P Oh and I'm mainly into Dance and stuff, but I like the latest music too.


reading festival was insaneYeah, Reading looks amazing. Wouldn't actually mind going there!


GLASTONBURY

a m a z i n g !!!I've always wanted to go to Glastonbury but isn't that hell of a lot to stay there for the weekend or whatever? I'll have a look anyway!

Thanks everyone! :)

Go to "Oxegen" in Ireland ;) I know a few freinds coming over from the UK for it although it's kinda hard to get tickets since there are a ton of big names performing at it.

[Judas]

well wireless isn't that difficult to get to, well it depends where you're from i suppose. but it's in hyde park so it's pretty accessible by train/tube

[Judas]

oxegen is in july, it's just in march they are announcing the whole line up :)
and ohhh i see, well i hope you find somewhere to go then :)

[The Don]

Reading Fest!!! Can't wait, gonna be mental.

[Inspiration]

Oxegen Will be amazing you should head to that. Some big acts already confirmed :)

[redtom]

Wakestock was pretty good for the rare, dubstep scene last year. I'm thinking of vFest this year the line up looks insane

[Plebings]

Last year's Leeds killed me (in a bad way) :(
Won't be going again I think.

Headliners for it are Strokes, Muse and someone else though - not bothered

[Muppet]

Lineup hasn't actually been announced for Reading/Leeds yet - Strokes and Muse are only rumours.

However, Reading will be ******* awesome, is every year.

If I hadn't already bought my Reading ticket, I'd deffo be heading to V fest, lineup looks great :)

[Lost_Addict]

Depends where you live. i live in surrey and Guilfest (fairly local) is amazing. Not much on the lineup this year apart from James blunt and razorlight. But local festivals like this are often cheap and great!.
If you want a bigger festival Reading last year was better than glastonbury IMO and the Isle of White festival is looking great.

I was offered a job at the IOW festival and i'm still deciding whether to take it or not XD

[T@R]

Creamfields seems to attract an older audience but I prefer the music at reading...
guess it all depends on your taste really!
V festival line up is looking good though this year

[Plebings]

Muse have pretty much self confirmed, I'll eat my poop if the strokes don't play

[redtom]

I've always imaged Creamfields as being a pill fest?

[The Don]

Yeh, after seeing the v fest line up, I'd recomend that, rhianna, eminem, plan b, scouting for girls, dizzee rascal, loadsssssss more.

What this guy said GuilFest is a decent small-middle festival. Last years line up was pretty good with Tinie Tempah, Nero, Hadouken, The King Blues, Sub-Focus, Chase & Status (DJ set) for £120 and this year i'm hoping it to be just as good.
