We're taking the kids to [url= http://www.ynotfestivals.co.uk/ ]Ynot[/url]. It's local and has a decent line up. Chilling out high up in the Peaks on a balmy summer night. Perfect!

For anyone with a young family to consider (or just looking for something a bit smaller and easier to get on with) I can recommend summer sundae weekender in leicester. We've been going the past few years, once when mrs was pregnant, last year when jnr was about 8 months and will be there this year with mrs pregnant again. Nice and chilled out, good acts, clean, family campsite seperate from the wild ones etc. Lots to like.

Been to ATP Curated by PAVEMENT already.

Got Truck (Oxfordshire) and End of the Road (Dorset) still to come.

Really wanted to go to Benicassim, but my friends are all skint, married, old or some combo thereof.

I heard my favourite festival quote of all time at Latitude 2008:

'No India, that's daddy's Yakult!'

😆

Reading again for me, would have liked to get to Glastonbury this year too though. Aargh, there's now 4 simultaneous headliners I want to see at Reading, what a mess.

(hey, I just noticed Ash are headlining one day of the T in the Park Futures stage, and Echo and the Bunnymen another. That doesn't seem quite right somehow...)

Went to Download last month. Going to T in the Park next week. May do Belladrum and will do Loopallu. I would be at Sonisphere if I could get away with it but SWMBO holding meat cleaver to my knackers. Seen heaps of live bands in the last 12 months and loving it.

Sonisphere was cool last year, great atmosphere and some nice ideas (running the second stage into the night after the main stage ended to take the pressure off the car parks and exits frinstance, clever, plus it meant Metallica ended up being the warmup act for festival closers Hundred Reasons :mrgreen: Not going this year but it was just really nice last time, reminded me of festivals a decade ago basically.

went to the hat fair in winchester last night, not a festival as such but good acts, fun, beer in the streets, cathedral grounds and parks, music in the evening with a splash of footy inbetween and no ticket so free.

aaprt from my train home was cancelled and had to pay £30 taxi! worth it though

Greenman in August for me. It's a great family friendly festival also in a great area for mountain biking.

Camp Bestival for me and the tribe again this year, 3rd time and I think it would be easier telling the kids they wont be going on a 2 week summer holiday than telling them their 3 days in Bestival is cancelled!!!

A self indulgent hag tunelessly caterwauling meaningless drivel accompanied by some music.

I agree with this, she was rubbish! Crazy P were good though!
