festivals this year

we went last year, and stomped off in dis-gust after 36 hours - really badly run, and full of very young and very violently drunk and nastily drugged people - very much on the "one to miss list"

Been going to festivals for years - this really was dreadful!

we have booked our tickets for earthwise and party neuf. Keep forgetting about cropredy - but until boys are older, or I feel able to leave my babies with someone else, we need festies that are about more than music. Went to Cropredy YEARS ago with a jolly good friend.

See you there then! .....oops, just worked it out - must need more coffee!

Would love to go - but a bit too far, and don't think I can get that time off, either.

And I need more coffee, too.

Can'tdo Party Neuf...not yet anyway. Got to wait til new person starts at work and see if i'm allowed to go.

I'm going to Spratton Music Festival with Nik, and to The Big Sessions in Leicester.

Me and t'other half might be stewarding

I've not even looked to see who's playing!

Anyone know of a decent online list of festivals and/or organised camp-type things for this year?

festival eye magazine is the best. http://www.festivaleye.com but im not sure how much they have on the website. they havent really released the glastonbury line up yet although some bands have self confirmed. it gets released on the 1st may! looks set to be a quietish glastonbury this year though - nobody seems interested!

efestivals (not sure of the site name, google it!) are pretty good, gives a quick description of festivals.

hope that helps!

the.fee.fairy, if you go to Sunrise, make sure you come along to Green Innovations area, we will be helping with an eco laundrette and running a small stall to promote handmade crafts sold via www.etsy.com

looking forward to sunrise, I've never been before :)

green innovations is running a daily forum to discuss various topics such as Biofuels/ bioplastics, Green Consumerism and Renewables. They start at 2pm everyday, so come along and join in the debates!

sounds good, I was hoping there's be more "discussion" type things at BGG last year but either there wasn't or we just didn't find them! Tis our first time at sunrise too... getting quite excited now!!
