2018 Festival - Glastonbury replacement

With Glastonbury being on a fallow year in 2018, it has been slowly dawning on me that there is a void fast approaching my life.

Within a matter of months, the lineup would have dropped, clashes will have been dreaded, the weather will have been meticulously watched (and verbally threatened), maybe a headliner would have broken a limb or two, and far-fetched secret gigs will have been rumoured and dismissed in the very same sentence.  Then the festival hits; you get memories you could never have planned for, and a warm glowing feeling that will last until the anxiety of ticket day sets in (and so begins the next cycle)... unless the next year happens to be a fallow year.

In order to fill this void I have began wondering what other festival(s) I could go to; I have been to Green man so this would probably be one but any advice on any others worth checking out either in the U.K. or elsewhere in Europe?

A few people have recommended a few other festivals to me, and was originally going to do one or two others this year (finances permitting) but makes more sense to do them next I suppose.

Maybe Beautiful Days, End of the Road or something similar?

They also mentioned avoiding Lattitude but haven't researched to find out why yet. Maybe I have to take my own butler and a copy of the financial times with me?

We keep talking about this.... Could only do it in a fallow year.... maybe.

Would probably have to blow all my savings for it, tickets alone are around $400, that's not including flights to LA, accomodation before hand, food for the week, tent etc.

Is it really worth spending all that cash for a week at a festival?

Really wanted to go to the World Cup, but the prospect of a load of angry Russians jumping on my head doesn't appeal.

That was my thoughts too, wanted to go over for Euro's but saved for the states instead.

Why not go Vegas too? Burning Man is the festival curated by the attendees isn't it basically?
