festival season is approaching so I figured I'd make a topic in here just incase some of y'all have summer plans to go to any? 
I went to Rebellion in Blackpool last year but it was more something I got roped into going to rather than a festival I really wanted to be at but I did have a good enough time 
this year however I am making my Slamdunk debut at the Leeds date and I couldn't be more excited! 
it's been on my list of festivals I've wanted to do for years along with Reading/Leeds and Download, would also probs do a Big Weekend but that would depend on the line up 
Pls tell me there's some of you going to Slamdunk next month too as that would be cool

Just going to Isle of Wight this year (hoping to see DMAs, Gerry Cinnamon, Lily Allen, Courteeners, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Sam Fender, Picture This, Bastille, George Ezra, Mystery Jets, Idles, Biffy Clyro and Richard Ashcroft).
I was going to Slam Dunk south but can't now. Insane line-up though - I'd be by the mainstays all day with Waterparks, As It Is, All Time low, Neck Deep and more!

literally where I'm gonna be most of the day! I had a look at the schedule and thankfully there's not any major clashes although there's a few I'll be disappointed to miss but I'd expected that when it's only the one day :') if all goes to plan I'll get to see Milk Teeth, Hot Milk, As It Is, Waterparks, Simple Plan, Neck Deep, Lights and All Time Low! Lights, Hot Milk, As It Is and Waterparks are my must-sees tbh, I also wanted to see Grandson but I can't if I'm seeing Neck Deep and also Seaway but they clash with Waterparks I think. Boston Manor, The Story So Far and Real Friends too but I can live without seeing them live. I've seen ATL like four times before so I wasn't too bothered about seeing them again but I don't think there's any other bands I wanna see when theyre on so I may as well!
most of the group of friends I'm going with are all into punk music so I'm fully prepared to have to go off on my own to see the band's I want to That Isle of Wight line up looks great as well!!

The Story So Far aren't there this year - so I'm hoping they will be next year when I do go!
Forgot about Simple Plan as well - they perform the What's New Scooby Doo theme live sometimes
Posted by: linds 18th April 2019, 12:34 AM
wait who am I thinking of it it's not the story so far?! doesn't matter, I won't be seeing them anyway

On my way to Coachella again for the third time! Driving there tomorrow 😁
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th April 2019, 08:42 AM
Coachella is always hyped up - but the crowd is always so dead.
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 18th April 2019, 02:11 PM
Hasn’t felt that way to me the past two times I’ve been there
Posted by: Mattias 18th April 2019, 02:14 PM
I've never been to a music festival lmao - just been to a bunch of individual concerts!
..and I've been to like, the local annual arts festival which has music included but that's not rly the same thing ha.

I’ve just got All Points East and Field Day this year. Christine and the Queens, James Blake, Beach House, The Strokes, Pusha T and Diplo are the ones I’m most excited about.
APE line-up couldn’t compete with last year’s though—Björk closing the festival was insane, best live show I’ve ever been to. (Ha Mattias I still need to reply to your PM about that, sorry it’s taken me months 🙃)
Gutted I’m not going to Glastonbury this year. I’m not impressed with the line-up at all but it’d still be great regardless of that, really hope I manage to get tickets again next year.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th April 2019, 02:34 PM
Well looking at the videos from the last weekend compared to UK festivals it definitely is!

I'd love to be there on the BMTH headliner day - Nothing But Thieves, Architects, Idles, While She Sleep and Yonaka as well!
Posted by: Mattias 18th April 2019, 03:19 PM
ahaha it's okay, I'd forgotten about that! I went to see her at the Eden Sessions myself, was great to finally see / hear her live :3 It was a Utopia show but she finished with 'Notget' which I found strangely fitting and beautiful in its own way.

I'm going to Glastonbury again this year, and I'm looking forward to it so much. You're right that it's great regardless, think I'd love it even if there were barely any acts I wanted to watch but personally think this years lineup is loads better than 2 years ago when I went, there's going to be so many clashes. Already praying that Hot Chip aren't headlining a Saturday stage at the same time as the Chemical Brothers.
Posted by: Bjork 19th April 2019, 06:38 AM
going to a medium-sized festival in Denmark called Northside, 6th year in a row, they always have some of my favourites
this year Bon Iver are headlining so it's gonna be great
Posted by: Riser 20th April 2019, 03:06 AM
I'm going to this one on my birthday weekend. Hyped to see both headliners and Lake Street Dive!
Posted by: Klaus 20th April 2019, 10:05 AM
Big Weekend if that counts
Posted by: linds 20th April 2019, 10:28 AM
sure x
that's one I've wanted to go to in the past when they've had a really good line-up, not too sure on who's playing this year tho
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th April 2019, 10:31 AM
It's my fave Big Weekend line up in years this year!
The 1975 (headlining), Catfish and the Bottlemen, Bring Me the Horizon, Two Door Cinema Club, Pale Waves, Vampire Weekend, Foals and Twenty One Pilots are all there!
Posted by: linds 20th April 2019, 11:21 AM
oh man, bmth and pale waves especially 😍 the latter are incredible live!!
Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th April 2019, 11:39 AM
I'm going to Primavera next month and I'm really looking forward to it!

i made a huge playlist of all the artists i wanna see at slamdunk but i included ones i knew clashed so i'm now in the predicament where i dont know who to go and see!! my biggest issues are grandson or neck deep? hot milk or tillie? real friends or simple plan? waterparks or seaway? (tbh i'm probs gonna go waterparks) i also want to see the interrupters but their set starts 20 mins before As It Is' finishes and then Waterparks are on 5 mins after the Interrupters finish but on a different stage (the same one as As It Is) so idek that i'd make even half their set because i need to go between stages 
festivals are a great idea until you remember just how indecisive you are lmao
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 21st April 2019, 04:49 PM
I’ve never been to weekend one and havent watched the videos so I can’t comment on that but the crowd has been anything but dead so far this weekend. I’ve heard that weekend 1 is just influencers and celebs pretending to have fun while weekend 2 is just us common folks actually having fun. Been an awesome weekend so far and tonight is bound to be the best night.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st April 2019, 04:52 PM
Ah fair enough! This is what I meant about the crowd being dead at weekend 1 
Pretty much no-one moving!

Go see Interrupters. Trust me.
Also, check your messages

Damn State Champs are performing an intimate show in Southampton on the Saturday on the IOW Festival - bit annoyed I'll miss them
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 1st June 2019, 11:00 AM
So I've gone through the full lineup and just the 50 acts I'd quite like to go and see!
Posted by: linds 1st June 2019, 10:33 PM
v late but I'm gutted for you!! ive seen state champs twice now and both times they were incredible, one of the best live bands I've ever seen honestly
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 2nd June 2019, 12:20 AM
More acts have been announced for IOW and I'm going to have to move very quickly from Sundara Karma to Palaye Royale!
Posted by: Bjork 2nd June 2019, 10:27 AM
for the first time ever Im volunteering at a festival (Northside), have to work for 1 day in recycling and I get a free tix, gonna miss 1 day but still get to go the remaining 2 days which is when all my favs are playing (Bon Iver especially)
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th June 2019, 12:42 AM
Just been to my fave festival set ever! Yungblud at IOW put on an insane show right from the start. I was right at the front so involved with the mosh pit during Machine Gun.
Then at the end he ran up to the barriers and was signing and talking to his fans. And I was right at the front! He signed my hand and phone case and he told me his second album will be out in September. Really nice guy who clearly cares about his fans.
