Far too many to remember, but my first ever festival was Reading 1976 when it was called the "Jazz, Blues and Rock" festival. My first Glastonbury was 1981, been to most Glastonburys since and normally do 4-5 other festivals a year.

No idea how many festivals Ive been to, been going to them since I was a child started late 1960s Im 48 now, been working festivals for the last 14 years average 10 a year sometimes more so in the last ten years 100+

I intend doing less of them maybe just glastonbury to keep in touch with some friends who still go , most of the friends I used to go to festivals to see have settled down and dont do them anymore, and festivals do feel a bit like going to just a place full of memorys

I'm really impressed that people who have been going a while can remember the years.

I'd say something like...

9 readings

5 V Chelmsfords

3 glastos (i used to be a teacher who couldn't get the time off)

3 benecassims

2 latitudes

2 primaveras

2 sonars

1 fuji rock

1 tokyo summer sonic

1 Isle of Wight

1 rock en seine

1 optimus alive

1 sos murcia

1 bestival

1 summercase

Plus countless days at hard rock calling, wireless, british summer time etc. Glastonbury is by far the best!

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
