2 festivals to do next year

[ourkid1984]

Hi there,

Me and my mates next year would love to get a camper van go to a festival around June/July time then straight onto another festival the following weekend.

Has anyone got any suggestions of what 2 festivals follow each other at that time of year?

We are thinking of going to a big messy one first, something like Glastonbury/Isle Of Wight/T in the Park, the doing a smaller one the following week but don't really know what to go for.

Any help would be much appreciated,

thanks

This is a good idear I do it every year but later in august when this year after Beautiful Days I stayed in the area for Watchet the following weekend this makes the long trip down south worthwhile as campers are thirsty beasts.

the three you mention are all widely spaced so to some degree its depends where you are starting from and how far you want to travel

How about something more adventurous? The www.synch.gr festival in Athens followed by www.sonar.es in Barcelona the next weekend.

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far.

I like the idea of Blissfields as it's just up the road from me, I'm from Southampton and nearly went this year.

I've had a look at this years festivals and July seems to be a good month to do what we want to do, I'm now having a look at going to Lattitude and then a festival the week before or the week after. The stand out ones for me would either be Wakestock or maybe Guildfest and the one that appeals the week after is Camp Bestival, ooo the choices

This year I went to the suberb Pukkelpop in Belgium and went to Rock Werchter the year before and ideally I would be looking at going to either Lowlands or Pukkelpop then off to Reading but that's a lot of driving and I'm not the person driving, also both festivals would be really hectic.

Could always go to Reading then off to something like Bingley live, seems like a good festival for a bargain.

Well if you fancy Latitude... go to Secret Garden right after - one of the best fests I've ever been to!

But Glasto/Blissfields combo is a good one if you want mayhem then chilled.

Glasto for the big festival for me next year. Absolutely 100% going.

Reading I think I've grown out of, but I'll go if I can volunteer.

Smaller/European festivals wise I'm thinking Rock Werchter/Sziget/Beni and UK wise 2000 Trees and Y-not/Lovebox/The Big Chill (one euro and one uk from that list)

I liked Rock Werchter when I went last year especially all of the bars outside of the venue and the top acts.

I liked Pukkelpop this year as well and although the choice of acts was outstanding and so was the atmosphere, I think there could of been more choice for drinks outside the venue and camping area could of been better/more spacious.

I like the sound of Siziget but am a bit worried about the language barrier to get to site and the cost to get there.

We're seriously considering going to Optimus in Lisbon next July. We went last year and it was brilliant - great weather - not too expensive - would really recommend it! What a great way of combining a summer holiday with a fessie! We considered blitzing it and doing Glastonbury - but got fed up of having our photos rejected!

Another vote for Glastonbury then Blissfields

I done it this year, and despite the valiant efforts of Mr Bliss to wear me out before the weekend, I still had a great time

Will be doing the same next year too all going well

[Guest Flip]

Mr Easyride has it spot on! Go to Glasto, then wander up to Lancashire and go to Beat-Herder. Beat-Herder will amaze you, so much stuff, such a 100% sorted lovely crowd and such a wonderful location...

Glastonbury and Green Man !

[Rufus Gwertigan]

2 festivals mm. So hard to choose but from my experience I would say

Beautiful Days and Sunrise

All the others mentioned are good quality as well

Think the idea was to do 2 with a week inbetween
