V Festival: rip-off-tastic

[Firky]

GOOOOOOOVINDA JAYA JAYA JAYA

fuckin' bollox

 

[Firky]

Festivals are rubbish anyway

Yeah, there is an awful lot of shit festivals now

 

[killer b]

the divine comedy and kula shaker *spits out tea*

please say they haven't made a comeback

dunno about the divine comedy, but kula shakers recent uk tour sold out!

i think, like with the recent wonderstuff revival (sold out tour, new album straight to the bargain bins), it's all about reliving those kerr-azy teenage years - so there's no worry of them actually selling any new records...

 

[trashpony]

I saw girls aloud on telly on saturday - they completely fucked up their set - was very funny indeed

I went a few years ago and we took plastic bottles in - wouldn't go again though

 

[Orang Utan]

The only festival I would consider going to now would be one at a holiday camp. With no mud.

 

[Belushi]

Festivals are rubbish anyway

Monsters of Rock used to be good

 

[Orang Utan]

Monsters of Rock used to be good

I could do Glastonbury again but only in the manner of your bruv - stay at a hotel and taxi in and out

 

[milesy]

Were there any good bands on at all?

girls aloud and morrissey.

although i've just seen trashpony's post about GA fucking up their set. oh well, it happens to the best of 'em at some point

Maybe you should try All Tomorrow's Parties - that's at Pontins in Camber Sands, and quite a larf I hear

 

[corporate whore]

Went to V last year. Didn't pay.

Got busted by security for skinning up. At a festival

Meh.

Yeah - the Autechre one looked good - some mates went and had the time of their lives - the indie-curated ones aren't my cup of tea though

You're a thirtysomething professional mate - dont be afraid to live like it

 

[Orang Utan]

Aye!

Meh.

Never going to V, that's for bloody sure.

 

[Giles]

that's surely dangerous on health & safety grounds, what if someone was trying to get drugs in dissolved in water...?
Sounds potentially disastrous to me.

Hmmmm, you could play a really mean practical joke on these people by simply dissolving some acid in a water bottle, and then spending the day walking in and out of the various security gates, allowing it to be tasted by as many security as possible. I would bet some of them would totally lose interest in their job roles after a while.....

Giles..

Surely that's half the fun, getting hammered and then wandering around the fields with your mates till you decide to go back to your tent or pass out from exhaustion in a hedge?

That was my favourite bit last year, anyway.

Really? The one I last went to, 2 people died in a crush at the front

Hmmm... sounds familiar...

I knew a lad who, bless him, didn't have a lot of luck with drugs. Him and some of his mates were sitting in their tent at Reading some years back passing a bong round. Just as he went to smoke it, someone tapped him on the shoulder. 'Fucking wait your turn,' he snapped crossly, pulled his bong and then turned around and handed it ... to a policeman.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I don't think going to V could really appeal less than it did, so this doesn't make a great deal of difference to me.

It's odd that anybody would be surprised though, seems like it's totally in keeping with the ethos of the thing.

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

We're mainly a bit older and wiser ( maybe not ), but if people are prepared to pay the money and keep going back, then they'll keep charging the prices.

Maybe the bands should have a bit more of a conscience for their fans !

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

I'd quite like to see Girls Aloud. Is that wrong?

 

[kakuma]

but...but...

i was only about 16 and i still remember knowing that kula shaker were fucking shit at the time

People sometime die on planes does that mean flying is never an enjoyable experience?

 

[milesy]

no. i saw them at wembley arena at one of their own gigs earlier this year and they were ace.

Bastard!

 

[oddworld]

I go and stand in my back garden to listen V , its right on my door step and I've never been.

Always came across like a festival in a giant Virgin megastore.


Still seems like that's the case.

 

[corporate whore]

E4 had it all live, all weekend this year. I saw Beck, without going to Essex.

As there's absolutely nothing else to do at V except see bands, I really can't see the point of going if you've got a freeview box..
