    I went to Glastonbury this year, have been to V and Reading before too.

    Glastonbury is by far the best.. already looking forward to next year, the 40th anniversary!

    Best acts this year was Prodigy.

    Glastonbury is about a week and a half after the AAT exams, perfect timing!

    It wasn't too muddy, I actually got a really nice tan as the sun was shining so much!

    Tickets were 175, which sounds pretty pricey but the amount of acts which were playing made it well worth it and we were there for 5 days.

    Doesnt appeal to me personally, festivals I mean. I would probably enjoy it if i went but would never even consider spending £175 to go to one

    Well if you work it out on average your paying 10p per band and accomadation thrown in.

    Went right in the crowd sounds so much better that way but avoided the mosh pit (not that brave :lol:)

    Unfortunatley its always in June, why not give Leeds or reading a try?

    Because download has THE BEST bands.
    Also ACCA exams are the first week of June.
    Downloads the 2nd week isnt it?

    im like you.
    Not so bad if ive got seats though.
    However clearly no seats at festivals so not so good

    yeah but the problem is if you have a seat then you have to pay an extortionate price for your tickets

    Completely agree with you there Chris. Kinda embarrassing that 49 year old Bono still seriously believes he can identify with "the kids of today" yet most of 'em don't know who the frick he is and care even less for his music, politics, causes etc...

    The Joshua Tree a classic? Was always just a load of bipolar b*llocks to me.

    My first festival was ZZ Top, Marillion, Bon Jovi (before they were huge), Metallica (one of their first ever gigs in the UK), Ratt and Magnum. Castle Donnington, August 1985, cost about £13 for the ticket.

    Stuff I'm currently listening to; Machine Head, Kasabian, Opeth, AC/DC, Phantom of the Opera OST.

    Love Bon Jovi and metallica.
    AC/DC, Kasbian and Opeth.

    As for the rest :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

    Well Marillion (who I hated) were a bit like an SS stormtrooper appearing at a barmitzvah, but the rest were okay.

    And how can you like Metallica and Opeth but not Machine Head, the singer of whom sounds like he's just massacred an entire village by hand?
