I am going to see an Abba tribute band this Friday 'and' Saturday coming . I believe that this is the very bending edge of what can be described as a 'gig', but hey ho. Anyway, on the first night I am going with my wife, and on the second with a mate. Both will differ experience wise. Of that I have no doubt.

It's my own fault, but nothing booked or planned. Nobody touring I really want to see without travelling to London. Might have gone for Def Leppard but seems a bit steep price wise for what they are. 

Thought about download especially as g'n'r playing but not done that one before and know none of my mates would come.

Killers might have been an option but even then a bit of a trek in to Wales, plus Son finishes GCSE'S then and said would take him away somewhere, sadly he's not one for live bands. Cover bands playing locally might be the way to go this year, save my pennies for Glastonbury next year. (Even though said last year was my last- leave it to the ticket gods to decide).

Got tickets to WelshFest.

I needed something to cheer me up. Not exactly a gig.

Would like to go to a few more picturesque ones - husband works weekends, so difficult for him to come with me, and my friend is already gallivanting all over the place.

Did download once years ago. Got the same problem with getting mates to go to festivals. I only really have one mate into live music.

I've been to a fair few on my own, but it's not really quite the same and getting to point can't be arsed to travel too far unless someone desperate to see (which aren't many). Having said that my mates p*** me off yakking through a band - no pleasing some I know lol.

Thanks, Wychwood is practically on doorstep so might consider that one anyway.

Cool, let me know if you decide to go, it would be good to meet you, and more fun for both of us, hopefully, as my husband's only really going to keep me company - he's not really a music lover.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
