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?

Off to radio1s hackney weekend today. Looking forward to it, vaccines, maccabees, Eric prydz and jay-z.

Off to Bestival on Thursday.  It's a ball-ache to get to from Aberdeen but another cracking eclectic line-up:

From that list I know of a song that goes "t'was not your fault but mine..." (or similar)

 

Either i'm out of touch or modern music is all just pish.

 

There's an outside chance that both are true.

 

Happy 20th Birthday!

I weep for the music industry.

Says the Coldplay fan 

They're practically carrying the music industry on their own.

Woooo!

 

Killers are the 3rd headliner at T...

Fuck me, Rockness has really gone down hill over the last 3 years.

Fuck knows how, the line up is abysmal IMHO.

Tom Jones being added has got people in a twist. I've never once gone for the lineup personally, it's all about the ambience

Got my glasto tickets this morning.
