Summer Festivals?

[ternur]

Anyone planning to have some summer festival fun this year?

A lot of my fav bands are touring this summer all over Europe, and I'm considering hopping on a plane to see some of them somewhere. Thinking seriously about Download UK, since I've never been to Donington Park and the line up looks really nice to me.

I've gotten too old to think of partaking in such shenanigans

Back in my younger days I've been to Pukkelpop in Belgium 6 times, Rock Werchter once and my most amazing experience is Roskilde in 2004. That was very special and especially muddy. Let me attach a picture I made on the festival grounds at one of the food areas.


I've tried more than once to get ahold of tickets for Glastonbury but failed, it sells out in minutes...

Been to loads of festivals. The so called amazing bands sound shit. It’s over priced and full of students.
Yes Iam now getting old :-(

Never too old to enjoy live music. I still enjoy festivals and I'm older than you both. It's just a combination of adequate level of intoxication and summer. Especially after the dark winter here in santaland.

Good luck trying to piece together anything resembling the festival line-ups of old

Leeds/ Reading of '99 would have Chili Peppers, Blur, Chemical Brothers et al and that's just from purple haze memory

Why on earth would I want to pay £500 to traipse around in mud listening to tone-deaf 'modern' bands/ artists like P. Diddy or Taylor Swift

The festivals I attend these days tend to be indoors, with the artist of my choosing & supporting band

Why would anyone, young or old.

About festival line ups, Hellfest is interesting this year. Some real dinosaurs + a couple great bands.

So people are old and festivals are a drag. Got it I hope I never get old.

Shut it, gramps

Festivals aren't a drag, today's festival line-ups are!

As for Drag Festivals, well, I'll see you there!!

I do agree on that point. We have one of the oldest festivals in Europe right here where I live. Back in the day there were bands like Metallica, Nirvana, RHCP, Massive Attack etc. in the line up, but these days it's all pop and crap.

Sad really.

If anyone ever here has a crew for Burning Man and need one more member, let me know. Thanks

When I went the race was 1 day before I was due to arrive so I couldn't go and watch it

I am 28 and I have never been to a festival in my life. Well Lyme disease and being kind of a introvert doesn't help much.

Feel like I have to make a bucket list and put a festival on the list.

Edit: I like a lot of different music but back before I got sick when I was about 18/19 years I always wanted to see a spectacular Rammstein show, I know it's not a festival.

Well Rammstein kinda is a festival on its own

To stand alongside 10,000 students shouting 'WHOAAAA JEREMY CORBYN' in the mud must be an experience worth paying for.

We have some real pessimists around here for sure.

Must be all that brexit crap and the famous British weather. Why focus on the good when you can bitch about the crowd democgraphics and the weather

I've heard they have those pesky gatherings with music on stage outside the UK too

Brexit's done a number on us I'm afraid. We see a mob of people gathered in one place we think "Ohh, I wonder how that's going to negatively affect the NHS"

Plus the tap-water ain't right here

As expected, they joy of live music this summer is pretty much done. Drownload was my back up plan since Pulp Summer Slam won't happen.

Not quite

I was going to attend Pulp Summer Slam 2020 in May ...

 

[LadyJelena]

Ah right, that's why I was confused. The music you post here is not quite alike Pulp
