You do know IOW and Download are the same weekend right

Also cheers for that info Kaos, I'm looking at volunteering festivals too and I was thinking between T and trees but I may apply for trees now

Travelling to all these fests will cost £100s in itself won't it?

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I wanted to do this last year and then realised I didn't actually have the money to put any deposits down, and then was gonna just do Latitude, and then realised fuck paying the travel costs.

[rawaudioinput]

Definitely, if you're going to travel far it's good to try and make some plans on the way to get the most out of your train ticket

[the wonderwhy]

If you're savvy about it you can get to/from places quite cheap- I got to Reading this year for less than 15 quid because I booked the train ticket early & used a rail card (although admittedly I didn't get a return), and I got a coach home to Brighton from Notts for under 20 quid the other day

Isle of Wight and Bestival are always bloody expensive to get to though, no matter what. I sometimes wonder how they manage to sell well enough when you factor in the coast of the ferry/hovercraft.

Hence why I'm planning to do small festivals nearby.

Yeah the only reason I went to IOW was because I had to travel to Southampton to move out of my uni halls so I only had to pay for the ferry

Spent so much money there though, mainly as the festival is so boring I went shopping in Newport town centre to pass the time

Libertines back as SR I see

[Dead throne]

yeah travel cost is why me and my gf didn't go IOW

[rawaudioinput]

Only go to IOW if you love the bands playing, the atmosphere is so sterile

that bad huh?

[rawaudioinput]

They market the festival as having more going on than just the music but there's probably less to do there than R&L; all of the stalls are basically dodgy fairground attractions marked up about 50%

Also the undercard is atrocious; before 6pm it's all major label sponsored detritus and John Giddings' mates

I was considering going to see X-Men at the cinema in Newport on the Friday, that's how bad it is

[dentalplan]

Here's a surprise. No Royal Blood at R+L.

Your not savvy! I've told you guys lots of times, go on the train, book the ticket to Ryde & you get the passenger ferry included. Don't pre book anything! It was £60 this year from Leeds! Edited November 19, 2014 by Couchy

[dentalplan]

Oh right, cheers. I was forgetting it had gone back a week.

[supreme]

Yeah its confused me for a minute. How likely are The Libertines at this moment may I ask?

[dentalplan]

Well I dunno personally but the site re-upgrading them to SR must be something.

[she bangs the drums]

I think those dates pretty much confirm Royal Blood will be playing Reading and Leeds. I've been in U.S for past 2/3 weeks and Royal Blood have been getting plenty of air time on radio, much more so than any other UK rock band.

[TheSilence]

Yeah they'll be playing. Think they're more perfectly suited to R&L than any other UK fest so it'd be weird if they weren't playing it.

What are the 1975 up to next year?
