I'd like it to be 3 days but it won't happen I don't think :-/ wonder why V don't go 3 days. If they make money on 2 days they should be able to make money on the third. Hendrix Beatles and Clash wouldn't be my dream 3 but I'd watch them to say I was there :-D

Yeah which they could bill as 3 days. The money they would sell for the extra day would help them, although it would mainly only be day tickets extra to the normal sales. Roughly what percentage of tickets are day tickets for each day. I would pay a bit extra for the extra day but not over £205 as that's glasto price

Yeah true plus I got a coach ticket that tool it up to £250. Does glasto price include booking fee or not in the 205

Blindly that's a lot my rock werchter plus travel came to about 260 and that's a 4 day fest and pukkelpop with travel came to about 200 for a 3 day fest.

It was 260 including travel :-0 I'm going the wrong place :-P pukkelpop is same weekend ain't it? Something is same as V :-P

How come European feats can be a lot cheaper

Yeah same weekend.

People say less competition, pay the headliners less etc etc. You get free travel once your in belguim which is fantastic and in my opinion alot better lineups than uk fests And I get editors as headliners.

I actually think all round that Bilbao BBK is great value for money this year.

Werchter is decent, especially Sunday I'd say although not fussed on Editors as closer but it still wouldn't get my money.

I like V line up more than pretty much anywhere else. There's people I want to see in every slot and I'd rather have Beyonce and Calvin Harris than editors and sigur ros :-) although you get more days

Taken out green day and put in the mighty sigur ros for ya!!!

Aren't green day playing there? I thought they were :-P I havnt checked any of the line ups in a while I got bad phone signal here.

Who is at Bilbao

Yeah green day are headling the thursay, I will be watching sigur ros who are headlining another stage. Great three on the smaller stage with biffy/bloc party/sigur ros following each other.

Ahh right thought I saw it somewhere :-P biffy headlining reading but third on pukklepop does that show they don't deserve a headline slot :-P

3rd on 2nd stafe at Werchter not pukkelpop, no they deserve to headline in the uk just not popular elsewhere. It will be goid to see them in a hot sweaty tent, kasabian play low on the bill in belguim aswel.

On the flip side though editors headline over there, so its what your tastes are.

Yeaahhh. Looking at the T splits they are real similar to V. Different days but courteeners subbing second, Beady eye and Calvin heading second, script and stereophonics subbing main. And people tried telling me dizzee wouldn't sub second as he is subbing glasto :-P if he does it at T he would at V I think.

The Friday is the only day I wouldn't have gaps on, Saturday has a gap in the middle and Sunday has a gap at the beginning for me so I'm glad I got V ticket

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
