looking to buy a ticket for Bestival later, I'd ratehr be at Download or Reading but no-one wants to go to them.

Which festivals are you going to this year? Amuse me with Festival based high jinx

and I was considering Download but probably don't have the money

Iron Maiden
Rammstein, Placebo and quite a few others. Not all have been announced yet. Plus Alice Cooper on the Friday
