Music festivals this year, anyone going to any?

[Latinidiot]

I am contrmplating to visit Hellfest in france. Lamb of god, unexpect, enslaved, and lots more i really like.

Reading Festival.
There will be a band I like headlining, I'm pretty confident of that.
I'm also fairly hoping that Enter Shikari finally headline, but they'll probably either be near the top of the lineup or headlining the NME Alternative stage. Either way, the reaction will be huge and the set mental, so I'll probably go just for them.

However I've heard rumours of both Green Day and Foo Fighters headlining, and either way that's gonna be awesome.
I hope Biffy Clyro go as well.

I'll mainly just go for Shikari and the awesome fun times with my friends.

I'm going to Wacken Open Air this August with my brother. Finally after six years I finally get to go.

First time i've looked at the lineup for this year for Wacken...


Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I really wanna go. Rollins spoken word!? thats enough for me to go.

Machine Head, Opeth, Napalm Death, Rollins Spoken Word, Amon Amarth, Decapitated, Leningrad Cowboys. And lets not forget the one that I actually yelled with joy over when I saw that they were confirmed, OVERKILL!!!!

Don't take this the wrong way. Take it for what it is...mainly jealousy and envy.

You ****!

Nah I kid I kid. but damn that is an awesome lineup. I really need to get my mates in on this one year...I've said this every year since I first heard of Wacken. /sigh.

Soundwave

Slipknot, System of a Down, Turisas, Trivium, A Day To Remember...and more, I can't remember the others. But it's a brilliant line up, I am looking forward to it!

Aye, Soundwave does look awesome. System of a Down are amazing live.
I would have said the same about Turisas if this was 2 years ago or so, but I saw them last year and they didn't have their accordion player because she was off sick and it felt pretty lacking because they used a lot more synth than usual especially in their latest album...and now she's not in the band anymore which makes me think..oh bugger.

I'm going to Bonnaroo this year because of all the rappers. Some of my favorite artists are going to be there and I would be mad at myself if I missed it. I mean, Kendrick Lamar, Das Racist, Danny Brown, Childish Gambino, even Yelawolf. There's also St. Vincent, Radiohead, Battles, and a ton of other bands that I love.

I really wanted to go to Coachella but it's on the other side of the country so...

Im doing Download this will be my 5th download, then im not sure if i am doing Leeds or Sonisphere, i have done leeds 3 times, and never done sonisphere

 

[GoaThief]

well since i live in reading im going to......
Creamfields
iv done the metal/rock thing many times before (download, sonisphere and reading all tried out) and really i've experienced all that before, figured id try how the other side lives

Noooo, don't do that you poor sausage!

Do the Glade Festival [http://www.gladefestival.com/] instead for an authentic electronic music experience, trust me.

Friend of mine went to Creamfields, its pretty good apparently

But lets be honest at the end of the day, minus the bands, almost all festivals are the same, good tunes, good drink, good friends and moderately priced meh drugs... Unless you manage to find that one dealer whos already off of his head on whatever and is happy to sell his stuff extremely cheaply. hehehe

 

[Levi93]

Bought my ticket for download last week, my first festival as well, I cant wait haha.

 

[Loud Hawk]

Skaderborg here in Denmark, because of A Day To Remember

Tomorrowland in Belguim.

 

[suitepee7]

my first festival will be this year, and i'm going download. the lineup looks incredible, another 22 bands being announced next week and i already want to be in 2 places at once for most of the stuff there. i'm pretty hyped for it, and it should be an awesome experience

 

[standokan]

I'm going to Rockwerchter in Belgium this year for the first time, the full 4 days of course. I'm mainly going for the Red Hot Chili Pepers en Pearl Jam but there are a tons of other great bands like the Cure, Snowpatrol, Elbow, Mumford & Sons and a shitload more.

 

[JackThomson1989]

Metalfest in Slovinia, mainly cos it'll be an adventure but also I don't like what Download has become. i.e. a bit of a sellout in my opinion.

 

[BlackStar42]

So, so tempted to go to Download...

 

[iTwitch]

Leeds festival baby! Well hopefully at least, it'll be my 4th time this year.
EDIT: Oops double post, my main one seems to be below this :'(

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I may consider going back to Reading, though last year the alcohol, caffeine and processed concession shit gave me Overactive Bladder Syndrome

 

[iTwitch]

Leeds festival baby! Well hopefully at least, it'll be my 4th time this year.

I've been to Leeds a few times, not last year though, I feel like I've outgrown it a bit and can no longer be bothered with the number of morons who go just to burn stuff on the last night. The rumoured bands have interested me this year though, but I have no money to get a ticket.

I was hoping on going to Glasto, but it's not on this year.

Surprisingly enough there was little to none of the standard "Sunday night riots" last year at Leeds, it was real quiet, none of the usual throwing gas canisters on fires or bringing down the lighting poles. That being said it was quite dead on the Sunday to, I believe alot of people left after Pulp due to what they'd heard about previous years.

 

[Kinarth]

Sabbath, Black Label Society, Soundgarden. 'nuff said.

 

[CrashBang]

For this first time in forever, Download actually looks more promising than Sonisphere so I'm tempted by that.
Also, Hevy's line-up is always brutal so there's that too!
