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?

 

TITP announced too. Not that I'm going.

Anyone want a Rockness ticket?  What an abysmal line-up. 

 

its alright I thought.

Peaked in 2009, now trying to attract the TITP crowd, hence why perhaps you like the look of it.  No offence of course.

spot on kow, couldnt put in any better!  Didnt go 2010 as i decided to try and raise money for cancer research by watching every game of the world cup.  My pal came back and said it was now T in the parks neddy wee cousin. 

 

may try and blag a day ticket to see pulp and if weezer were on the same day that would be a bonus but the t line up is fucking stinking aside

Apparently RockNess is trying to ban Neds, well ned "attire" whatever that is:

What response?  I refuse to reply to my own post.

I think what you see here is the drunken postings of a man facing up to the realisation that he's actually a ned...

This is the one I've been going to the past 5 or so years, in Florida. Not very well known bands but it's basically my dream line up every year, plus a lot of the bands we put on during the year play it so it's kind of like an annual meet up of pals.

That's my Rockness ticket sold, the line-up is rank.

 

Does anybody know anything about a proposed city centre festival in Aberdeen this summer?  I don't think its a "Free on the Dee" type thing, but perhaps might attract some half decent names?

have you taken the Dolorean back to 1993?  There's no dignity in that mate, despite the summer sun (sic).

Its a good attempt for a first ever festival, hopefully its a success.

I'll certainly go along.

 

I saw Madness at Glastonbury in 2009 and they were excellent.
