2012 will probably be the 1st year am going to take the kids (who'll be 5 and 3 at the time) so will probably go to a more family geared one- thinking maybe Camp Bestival or Solfest.

Then looking at doing our 1st family Glasto in 2013

I've started going to Primavera (last year and this year is all booked) so probably that again as Barcelona is an amazing city, the festival is brilliant and it also cuts costs because it means I don't have to go to ATP.

So maybe go to a UK based one - have long wanted to go to End of the Road and Green Man

Bestival, Camp Bestival (with kids) or IOW. All local to me. But also planning our own mini-fest. My friend has a milestone birthday on 29 June, so a great excuse to bring on local bands, cider, hog roast & a mud pit. we think. Our wellies need their annual outing, or they'll die of loneliness :( We'll even charge a small fee in aid of charity :)

Me & Bob (fellow Glastonaut) were talking of going to Bearded Theory with out sprogs as a test run at festivalling with kids as we both realise that taking them to Glasto is only a matter of time....

I'm planning on going to Brazil for Carnival in Feb 2012. If I have any money left, I want to do Sonar again in Barcelona, it's the week before before Glasto normally, and I can't do both together.

We are hoping to have got through the adoption process by the time summer 2012 comes round. We've already been at it a year - it takes so long!

Anyway - 2012 will see us looking for a festival that won't scare the shit out of a pre-traumatised child! Any child adopted by us will need to be ready for Glasto 2013 - it's in our criteria!

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
