Thanks for the heads up on Sonar

I'm trying not to think about a year with no Glasto!

The Olympics - just for something different

[eFestivals]

As for The Big Chill, that has to be my fave festival apart from Glastonbury. It's a great vibe, friendly people and good music in a beautiful location.

As the Big Chill is now owned by Festival Republic, it might turn out to be a different beast from now on.

Bearded theory is less than 10 miles from here, so I guess I will finally check that out!

[eFestivals]

It might, but the previous owners are retaining creative control, so hopefully Festival Republic will just provide a little more financial clout and allow the ethos to remain the same.

But it can't remain the same.

It will need to not be making the losses that it has supposedly done in the last two years, and on top of that it will be needing to make a profit.

Changes in the financing of the event will mean changes to the event itself.

None - will go on holiday instead

[FunkyDenz]

As I won't be going to Venice Carnevale in 2012 either, I might go to Brazil Carnival in the February, then wouldn't have enough money to do any festivals.

[Ashaz42]

Might go back to Reading festival. I live there... but this year...

Anyway, Latitude, Bestival or Sziget are my most likely ones.
