As festival season is slowly creeping up on us, I thought I'd do my usual and tout my TITP tickets to the bidder mug with the most cash.  Thereafter I'll go online, book flights and take in a festival with better weather, women and beer.

 

Have done the obvious ones so far:

 

Benicassim (nr Valencia) - http://fiberfib.com/en/line-up/line-up-2008/

 

Roskilde (nr Copenhagen) - http://www.roskilde-festival.dk/2008/frontpage/

 

Summercase (Barcelona/Madrid) - http://www.summercase.com/indexen.html

 

But prefer to keep on, keeping on and try something new, rather than hitting the same one every year.  Anyone been to any weird and wonderful others they'd recommend?

 

Ya got me!

I was reading that Benicassim is in chaos because of the weather.

 

'High Winds'

 

I laughed, all those people going from the UK for the guaranteed nice weather in Spain.

Benicassim is the place to go. The line ups like TITP. WELL CHEAPER! Weeks camping

Big fan of Damon Albarn are you?

 

I'm going to both, probably the only festivals I do next year.

Nah, Neil Young is my man!

 

Aren't they the same weekend? Or two following weekends or similar?

 

I'm doing Glasto and either Reading or Leeds

Did you get Glasto tickets this weekend?

 

I didn't even realise they'd gone on sale until I read today that they'd sold out

Yeah I got a ticket.

There's a weekend in between Rockness and Glastonbury.

 

 

 

Outstanding!

Strokes confirmed for Rockness, can't say i'm over the moon about that.

Aye its a pretty dire first announcement.  Most of the rest of the acts announced play every year.

Was hoping for Primal Scream and LCD Soundsystem.

Kasabian headlining T.

 

How original

Are they not really quite small to be headlining T?

I've not checked their penis sizes.

 

It's more that they will have played it 7 times in 8 years (or something like that)

Not that much but quite a few times. been excellent the three times I saw them at T.

Rockness for me I think, headliners are The Strokes.

You do realise The Strokes are a terrible band with only 1 good song?

Death is too good for you!

Mini, you could take a jumper to the Duthie Park and start you own festival.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Strokes, but see Bruce Springsteen and "Born 2 Run".
