If Death From Above 1979, Deftones, Jane’s Addiction, Jimmy Eat World and Henry Rollins were all performing on the same day I’d get a day ticket, but having seen them all between one and four times apiece I wouldn’t pay whatever the weekend tickets costs these days.
I went every year between 1994 and 2004, but I was starting ti feel pretty old by then and I was only 24, reckon I’d feel ancient now I’m 31!
Somebody mentioned 1995 further up the page…that was a great year.
Pavement, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub, Green Day (at the peak of their post-Dookie rise to fame), Smashing Pumpkins, Hole (with a frankly deranged Courtney Love and sexy new bassist Melissa Auf der Maur freshly recruited), dEUS, Foo Fighters in their second UK appearance, Neil Young, Soundgarden, Bjork, Mudhoney, Guided By Voices.
I think that was as good as the festival ever got for me…seem to recall weekend tickets were about £60 too, less than the cost of a day ticket now 😯
