I've always had a soft spot for Electric Picnic in Ireland. Lots of mad drunk Irish people and some great little stages outside the main arena.

Went to that last year, hadn't been in about 5 years and had a really good time!

Beat-Herder... it's where all my Glasto mates go in July and they've been nagging me to go for years as it's such a similar vibe, apparently. Some say (quietly) it's better than Glasto. I find that hard to believe but am going for the first time this year... worth a look at the pics/vids here: http://beatherder.co.uk/

I've been to beat herder I would say its similar vibe to the glade and west holts at Glastonbury, so if you like those areas you will love it. I spent most of the weekend in a church playing the cow bell dancing on the furniture.

What's the best non Glastonbury festival you've been to? I'm thinking of volunteering at a different festival this summer - any suggestions of ones to go for?

End of The Road Festival http://endoftheroadfestival.com/ looks great this year, oh and Festival Number 6 is a beautiful little festival in Portmeirion. It's actually in the town, so it gives a really lovely and surreal feel to the festival. Right by the sea too.

Morning everyone, will today be the day?

I love West Holts so much. If West Holts last year was a festival by itself, I would have gone. Such a ridiculous lineup.

Probably not. This agony will continue into next week, I feel.

I went there a few years ago - it was a fun little festival. VERY small though although I think it might have expanded a bit since then. 

ignoring the size, does it have a Glasto feel to it?

Me too but last couple of years we've spent more time in Avalon as well which had some surprisingly good turns. Including Michael Eavis karaoke.

I went in 2013..was awesome! But the toilets weren't as good as Glasto. Also randomly met Eavis's grandson there! Enjoy!

In recent years, Farr festival.  It's very dance/ edm but small with a great (young) crowd.  I felt like festival dad though

Last time I went was the last Glasto fallow year in 2012, this was the lineup;

 

Was absolutely ridiculous. Watching Bob Dylan with a spliff and a mojito as the sun went down was a proper once-in-a-lifetime vibe.

(Florence cancelled, so De La Soul got bumped to the main stage)

I was there that year too. Didn't Arctic monkeys play too? Im 34 and showing my age hahaha.

Iwasnt keen on a festival in car park
