that'd be cool...and thanks again for letting me know about it - had the best time ever and wouldn't even have known it was happening without you mentioning it on here!
(actually it's quite possible junior was conceived there...certainly sometime that week. sorry if tmi
)

I had fun at the big chill last year, but I doubt I'll be going next. I may well just stick with the trowbridge punp festival and leave it at that.

take me to the feeling
I can recommend Primavera - I went this year and last year, and both times it was superb. Great line-up, excellent organisation (especially after the 2003 Sonar debacle), friendly crowd, hilarious hi-jinks had by all.

Having spent many late hours drinking brandy coffees in the Smallworld tent I may try and catch them at some other events. Noubt listed for 2006 as yet but check it out at http://www.smallworldsolarstage.org/

I was answering Helga's post -- Beautiful Days is a definite for us
Other plans not yet in place.
All dates, details, weblinks, etc. of promising festivals to be included in January's thread.

Not so, it happens every year and it's called the Glastonbury Refuseniks picnic and is well-publicised every year...no fence but there was a pyramid stage this year but Blind Lemon refused point-blank to put a bandanna and string on the dog.Velouria said:I remember suggesting to Rubes that we should have a mini-Glasto festival in Brockwell Park, with a pyramid stage and a dance tent and all the rest ... but ... it would all be to scale. Including a 'superfence' to scale) in the mini-stages. Great idea, but nothing came of it
Swollen attendance of non-refuseniks possible in 2006!! 
Alternatives to make up for the absence of the real one next summer may not exactly fall on Glasto weekend ... if not, Brockwell here we come ...

About time William, you NEVER come to the Country Show either and and it's bloody brilliant.
Mrs Magpie said:
GRRRR!
Thats not my fault!
It's because of bloody Lambeth's insistence on holding the Country Show the same weekend as not just one but TWO other festivals.
(Or maybe it's the other festivals' fault, but whatever!!)
Festival date-clashes piss me off ...
, and Homelands - but I could only go to Glastonbury

I remember reading something about this a while ago... some bands (not particularily 'typical' fezzie bands either) are playing in Ibiza in the Summer and I seem to remeber a completely bollox article by some journo trying to draw similarites (or Manumission getting some publicity off the back of it)... here we go The Kiazer Cheifs and Radio 1 do not make a Glastonbury!
A couple of my friends are getting married the w/e Glasto would've been on... nice for them because they always go to festival
Beautiful Days is a definate... we had a scare a few months ago thinking that some more friends were getting hitched on that w/e too, but in Devon. So we were just going to miss a day of the festival and then come back to it... but thankfully I don't think it's the same w/e
Yeah, it's my favourite festival!May Kasahara said:
Barcelona is great and primavera has been absolutely wicked both times I've been (04 and 05)- and you don't have to live in a tent, which rules!
I'm definitely going again next year.
But it's nothing like Glastonbury, it's all clean and stuff

HAVE to go to it at least once in a lifetime.

Mate, if you're serious about it let me know when I get back from NZ in February.

Apart from the river of piss flowing down from the top of the hill when the Pixies were playing...it was so funny watching everyone bunking over the fence, straight into the piss.
Did you see Ginferno either time? Fucking awesome.
I'm thinking about going to the Isle of Wight festival, on 9th - 11th June next year.
Anyone been to this in the last year or two, and got any stories or experiences to relate, good or bad?
The Prodigy are apparently already confirmed for one of the nights next year.

Hehe, I know someone who went to that this year, he said it was hilarious (also had the advantage of being within 30 minutes' drive of his house and nice clean bed after staying up all night getting munted).
