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?

Born to run is a terrible song.

 

I was going to go with Philadelphia, but thought that would be too cheesy! 

Leftfield have just been announced for Rockness.

 

First gig in 10 years!!!

 

 

Cool. My son was at the first Rockness. Leftism will ensure my first this year. Thanks for info, cunt.

Looks fucking sheeeeeeeite

Someone who failed to see Calderwood for what he was, who prefers fucking dead babies to live infants, who chooses to reside in the "second city of the empire", you don't get a fucking say mate.

AC/DC playing Download.

Looks fucking sheeeeeeeite

 

Agreed.

 

Although, it does mean i'll have lots to moan about when I actually go.

U2, MUSE and Stevie Wonder for Glasto

I concur.

Jay is one weegiefaking motherfucker!

I'd go to Rockness for Leftfield and Boys Noize alone, but I'm hoping that one or both will play Exit this summer. That or LCD Soundsystem!

Cheers for the tip off Manc.

Some more for Rockness:

 

Fatboy Slim, Doves, Ian Brown, Booka Shade, The Bloody Beetroots, Vitalic, Aeroplane, Plan B, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, The Cuban Brothers, Dub Pistols, and The Japanese Popstars.

 

Rockness line-up is rubbish, it was far more eclectic last year (Flaming Lips, The Aliens).

In two minds about going now.

 

Fatboy fucking Slim 3 years out of 5?  Shocking.

Fatboy Slim is the sort of cunt you are supposed to hate but I've seen him twice in recent years and he is entertaining enough.

While I agree with you - I'll bet that his set was almost identical on those two occasions?

 

Rockness does look fairly uninspiring - shame as it was mint last year.

TITP line up announced at half 12.

Everything else on the lineup looks without exception shite though.

Off to Exit again this summer, Chemicals were announced, as was Josh Wink. A few other good acts are playing and the full line up has yet tbc, but fuck knows why Mika is playing
