Well?

So far we have bearded theory booked. But i'm hoping that we can do a couple of others aswell.

The big chill and unsure of which other (but personally i like the sound of shambala).


edit - just noticed we already have a thread quite similar already, bugger.
Olivia
Bearded Theory
Glastonbury
Big Chill
Beautiful Days
Shambala
Bestival

And possibly Wychwood and EoTR, depending on finances, the pay rise I've asked for and also what job I'm in later this year.

I'm also going camping for 3 nights at the end of this month, which is always a fun weekend of constant messiness. smile.gif

*I'm going to buy a ticket but I'm going to have to work out how I can take the time off when I'm running out of holiday very quickly.

Wychwood
Beautiful Days
Bestival

As of 10:08 this morning, I'm thinking I'm going to knock the Chill on the head for a year and give Glastonbury one more go. How utterly cowardly of me.

If circumstances were different, I think I'd be trying for glastonbury now, too.

So far we have tickets for Bearded Theory, which is more of a village fete chance to see some mates and get drunk than a festival, let's be honest.

Big Chill is a possibility, but that depends on other stuff too.

Depending on money/costs I'm going to try for a Reading day ticket on the Friday and/or Sunday, but much nearer the time. I fancy some metal this summer, and that's about my only chance of it, and it's only a train ride away.

I'm sort of resigned to this being a festival-lite summer.

Bearded Theory is definite.
Shambala I intend to go, I should be back by then but am unlikely to have found a job yet.
Maybe another festival in September, depending on job-hunting and whether I go visit my Dad.
Olivia
Does Strawberry Fair count, seeing as I usually just go and get drunk for a day and there's stuff happening which I don't ever see any of?

You're not allowed not to go to Big Chill.

Thats all I have to say on this matter.

Hush now. I'm quite enjoying watching the metamorphosis into Whitey.

Take it you're not coming (again) this year?
jollynolly
Wychwood
Glasto
Cambridge Folk
BD's

maybe Guilfest
Dave
Not a lot this year due to other commitments.

Definate - Glastonbury
More than likely - Reading
Possibly - Big Chill

Toying with the idea of taking the caravan down to the surfer one on a beach in Newquay, which I have forgotten the name of at this time.

Rip Curl Boardmasters

Fistral Beach, Newquay. (Which happenes to be my favourite beach in UK)

The Amazing Bro covers this for Ubisoft and said it was really good last year and I think it would be a bit different so quite fancy it. Need to check the dates though as it is the beginning of August and see if I am free but if all goes well I think we may give it a go.

Just Guilfest and Big Chill for me.

Hope you're still going FC

Just Bearded Theory and the Big Chill for us. I do have a fair whack of holiday time that I'm not sure what to do with, but don't really want to go festivalling without Andy and his holiday days are all booked.
fatal exception
All booked and paid for:

Glastonbury
Endorse It

Now all I have to do is persuade the nice boss man at the new job to let me have the leave ....... rolleyes.gif

off the tracks is good. proper wee like. Its basically a farmy style thing, with a pub and a campsite next door. you enter the "arena" via a door in the pub, and everything is pretty much centred around a stage in the courtyard, and a big tent nailed on the side of it. I think Dreadzone are playing this year aint they? the rest of the acts tend to be low on pop and high on beard. Clientele is unique in a kind of duelling banjos sort of way, but its really chilled out and laid back, and if real ale, drinking in the pub till stupid oclock in the morning, while all sorts of random jamming nd singing go on around you you'll love it. If big screens and the kaiser killers are tyour thing you might want to re-consider.

I really like it, in fact I'm considering going again now...

ooh, and there's proper bogs

Brian Wilson is a big rumour for little ole Guilfest, that made me smile on a miserable day

Thought I saw somewhere that you two were giving Glasto a miss this year?

I can't really make any plans for the summer until I know what's going on surgery-wise but I have booked for Glasto.
