So, if the worst comes to the worst and I don't get tickets (SOB) for this year, which other festivals would other people recommend? I was thinking about either Beautiful Days or End of the Road...

Bonnaroo! (Which is in Manchester, Tennessee, and in three weeks.......)

At the risk of sounding like a selfish prick, I'm glad there was no sale yesterday as I was completely out of action. However I'm here ready, sweating my arse off in my hotel lobby leeching the free wifi and missing out on the gorgeous Jamaican sun all in the hope of bagging a ticket. So come on See, bring it!!!!!

2007 was brutal! Still i preferred the pools of water everywhere in 2007 to last years deep sticky mud. But that rain was relentless.

I vividly remember watching Bill Bailey in the driving rain. It was coming in sideways. So grim.

I wasn't there last year but have heard all about that mud. Ain't no mud like Glasto mud!

Both are ace. I've done 8 BD's and 3 EoTR's. Beautiful Days has a more Avalon feel and EoTR is like the Park. Both have nice sites, although EoTR is flat and has peacocks.

I went there for the first time in 2013. It was great, I saw so many startup bands that have come so far now

Thankyou! EoTR is literally 30 minutes away from our house in Dorset so I'm very tempted. But Beautiful Days just looks really fun!

T'is for me! Last year we had a tornado warning, and then 100 degree heat.

I went to watch Bill Bailey too, late set outdoor somewhere if i remember rightly. Apparently 2007 is one of the worst for rain according to people around here.

I'm pretty sure I'd have given up on Glasto tickets if Jamaica would have been the alternative! Enjoy!

Festival No6 is quite nice. A bit on the small side but it's in a lovely location with a beach & woodland. 

[basicminds]

As a back up some friends are suggesting festival number 6...anyone been? Not that I have given up but have a very risky car drive now!

We are doing BD for the first time this year - heard nothing but good stuff about it 

EOTR - a friend went last year and loved it. It is like Larmer Tree (held in same place) only more like a grass roots festival and less 'middle class'

Yes, that's the one! Super late, super rainy. I just remember endlessly wandering as there was nowhere to sit for the whole 5 days!

It's a lot different to Glasto - much more commercialized and you can't take alcohol into the 'Centeroo' (the stages area - sort of like V Fest), but their whole thing is radiating positivity, so everyone is happy and high fives are a thing.

You should give it a go! It's very picturesque and relaxed. Beautiful setting in the woods and each year I've been the weather has been stunning. It's not too large yet it doesn't feel crowded either. It's a nice place to be!
