which ones will you be attending this year?
any recommendations?
i will be going to the vegan fayre (ok, not really a festival.. as such..) and ladyfest in bristol and maybe brighton too. i was thinking of going to WOMAD- i have heard it is pretty cool in terms of atmosphere and lots of things to do.
i didn't get tickets for glastonbury. in fact i didn't even try. i mean- if someone gave me a ticket of cours i would go.. but i wasn't too bothered.. i don't think it is as good these days anyway.. i even heard rumours that they would have a McDonalds stall in the future (?!?) and if carling are buying it it is sure to get a lot more corporate.
i would also recommend the TDK festival in london. it is a dancey(but not in a chav way..)/electornica/new wave kinda festival, and it was very good when i went.. good atmosphere and lots of different stages means it is more intimate and you don't get the horrible arena style crushings and huge spaces between the barrier and the stage- the kind of thing that puts me off the mainstream festivals like reading etc where the soul is lost.. reading has been great when i have gone to the smaller stages or the radio1/xfm tent (i think it changes) but the mian stage- blah
there is also a new age 'healing weekend' not so far from where i live, close to glastonbury.. which is nice..
