Well it's festival-lineup-announcing season anyway. Where's everyone going? Hopefully I'm off to Leeds.

Glastonbury has U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder, Reading/Leeds has Blink 182 self-confirmed, My Chemical Romance (probably) and according to efestivals, Arcade Fire. T In The Park's too far away for me to care about, and V has just announced one of the blandest lineups in living memory - http://www.vfestival.com/lineup/index.html

It's not so bad. I count four decent acts. Possibly five at a push.

Outside-left

I've completely fallen out of love with festivals in the past couple of years for a few reasons, mainly because I haven't found a single line up that genuinely excites me in that time. Needless to say, it's almost a certainty that I'll be saving £200 by not buying a Leeds Festival ticket this summer.

Typically, there's already a 'Downfall' parody of the rumoured Reading/Leeds lineup.

Blink, MCR and Arcade Fire? Nigga please.

Decent acts maybe, but none that make you

and have to go.

I've already got a ticket for Kendal Calling, but that's pretty small. In terms of major festivals I really want to go to Download this year (AC/DC, RATM, Aerosmith) and that's about it. Went to Leeds last year cause Radiohead and Faith No More were there, it was ok but the general behaviour of the people there was just unpleasant, no time for them.

What's a little sin to see us through?

Green Man for me, with a bit of luck.

Whiskey, painkillers and speed will carry me there.....

Winter Is Coming

I'd love to go to Download. Affording it is a different matter entirely

If Download had booked Black Sabbath, they would have involved every metal band I actually like this year. If I can find the cash, I think I may go there.

If I could afford it, I'd head to Burning Man. Or SXSW

A bit before festival season proper, but with a bit of luck I should be heading to this. However, Primavera's line-up is extremely unlikely to be bettered this year, I would say.

What metal bands do you actually like?

Also, I was painfully jealous of my friends who went to Glasto last year. I'm not going to be this year. U2? F*ck off Bono.

Download and Kendal Calling hopefully.
I'd like to go to Leeds and Glasto, but I feel like I've missed their peak now and I don't want the inferior experience.

Kendal!
Quite a few people I know are showing interest in it

IT'S THE NEW GLASTONBURY!!!11!!!1!!!!!1!!!11 /hyperbole

Libertines, Blink 182 and Guns & Roses for Reading/Leeds according to the latest rumour mill. Interesting...

the doc:

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.

the doc: Wow, a proper old head

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.

satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.

Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.

satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.

satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.

Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...

I Cunt Spell: YOU'RE ALL OLD

I Cunt Spell: SO VERY VERY OLD

Captain Stupendo: SRD made an appearence holy moly haven't seen him on here for years

Maeby: JIM!

the doc: Wow, event Starws isn't here tonight

the doc: Straws ^

the doc:

the doc: *whistles*

the doc: Ah well, off I go as well then

Rayanne Graff: Sorry, Stu; i was busy tidying things. xx
