I like going to musicfestivals, take the tent and watch bands play all weekend but i can't imagine that i'm the only one here. so where are you guys going this year and who you're looking forward to see ?
are you going all weekend or just one day ?? what festival you want to visit someday ?

my plans for this summer :

- Pinkpop, the Netherlands may 30-june 1(www.pinkpop.nl)
just one day, RATM is the main reason i'm going. nice line up this year but have seen a lot of those bands already and it's not my fave festival

- Rock Werchter, Belgium july 3 - july 6 (www.rockwerchter.be)
all days, every year a great line up. and i like it there

- Cactus, Belgium july 11-13 (www.cactusfestival.be)
depends on the line up, but if i go it will be just 1 day. love the food over there

- Lowlands, the Netherlands august 15-17 (www.lowlands.nl)
all weekend, my fave festival :worship:

Sziget festival is the one i'm the most curious about from the ones i haven't been to btw

Sziget festival is the one i'm the most curious about from the ones i haven't been to btw

only festival I've been to, went there just to see Radiohead but it was a great experience with Franz Ferdinand, dEUS and some other bands
List of artist is not as good as western festivals but the main stage has good acts. There are 4-5 other stages for different genres (metal, world music, electronic etc)
The venue is fantastic, an island on the Danube. It's rather cheap and the good thing is that it's very near the city, 3 tram stations. There are enough showers although you gotta hold the line for round 30 min sometimes. It goes for 1 week though i stayed only 5 days. There are also many discos, there's a jazz tent, ambient tent (where you enter without shoes and there are no seats but you lay on the floor, great place ), silent disco (everyone has headphones, so from outside looks like people are dancing without music), base jumping, and great bars that stay open all day and all night (best time to go is in the morning when everyone is drunk from the night before http://youtube.com/watch?v=Cij2Y19mOS4 )

If I had money and time I'd surely go there again. I like also the festivals in belgium (Werchter and Pukkelpop sp?), they usually have great artists

Silent Disco :yeah:

Radiohead and dEUS are both at Rock Werchter this year btw. I think i will go to Sziget someday, i only hear great stories from people who've been there

Heineken Open'er in Sopot :rocker:

But this year's list is probably the weakest ever. It used to be a decent event. Still I think Massive Attack will come.

 

[Clashcityrocker]

Chemical Brothers are here every year I guess lol. I like Beirut, would like to see them live.

Gentleman was in my city not such a long time ago :yawn:.

I wouldn't mind The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand and Skin again, this is some good stuff live.

who wants to go somewhere else when you've got Lowlands ??
don't know where you live but there's Pukkelpop in Belgium, Haldern in Germany is august too i believe, and England has Reading/Leeds and V as big ones in august

 

[justClaudia]

Duncan, all of those bands are comming here as well, like every year.
& you go to the same damned festivals every year.

ugh, travel to other place that not Belgium is also an option. Just saying, luv.

I was talking about this year
but I can think about it anyway.

Oh, btw I took my brother to see 30STM ...he is 12, don't you forget that.
It was so damn painful, I swear to god I felt old. Emo is um, how do I say ..unique? :bolt:
