The Fallow Year

[shuttlep]

I know it's a way way off, but what are your plans?

 

will you be doing another festival? 

[lucyginger]

Roadtesting Boomtown next year, if it's as good as people say, I expect I'll do that again

[Andy0808 v5]

There's been some rumblings of a Lollapalooza trip for a few of us in my group and roll it into a a couple of weeks in the US. It's around my birthday too which would be quite decent, although the idea of drinking in a playpen is a major turnoff. 

 

Will probably just end up trying out Boom town or Bestival.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Will probably get round to going to T in the Park

[The Nal]

Youth hostelling with Chris Eubank

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Have a mates stag do next year, so will no doubt just do something extravagant for that.

When I didn't - at first - get Glastonbury 2016 tickets, I registered to work with Oxfam, and had the chance to work the festival with them.

So in the fallow year, I really want to support Oxfam and work at least one of the many festivals they do, I haven't decided yet (WOMAD, 200 Trees, Latitude, maybe), any experience working other festivals I would appreciate the feedback...

Going to do a bunch of smaller weekend fests instead, Solfest, Lindisfarne etc and take the Mrs on a proper holiday during G week.

Actually the fallow year is nicely placed so it allows my girlfriend and I to get married without any fear of a clash!

If it ever returns

Going to give Boomtown a go, or potentially get an extra Ibiza trip in.

[DropBeat]

Hopefully tick one or two European festivals off my list, and Ibiza again.

That's my plan if Ibiza doesn't come off, and trying to get all 20 of us to Ibiza may be a tough ask. So a few smaller festivals maybe one in Europe would make me happy

[ripcurl85]

I'll be getting married and hopefully going away on honeymoon following my proposal at last year's festival. Will probably take that year off festivals and will hopefully return to Glastonbury in 2019.

That shows planning

 

 

step one find out when fallow year is

step 2 ask mrs to get married at festival the year before

step 3 go on honeymoon when festival is on. never missing a festival

[pie_and_a_pint]

Having an Actual Holiday.

[Tommy101]

Decent opportunity to try more European fests for me I think, maybe work them into a larger holiday.

[grumpyhack]

Still trying to get tickets for 2017 (fingers crossed for resale).  But if that doesn't happen then 2017 will also be a fallow year for me.

Maybe a family holiday. I can't bear the idea of sitting at home and watching Glasto on the TV when I'm not able to be there.

These days I no longer have my big festival tent and have become a caravan convert but it's a biggie and I don't favour lugging it around Europe

 

[trevethin]

We'll maybe have a week abroad in the summer.  We don't usually go anywhere in the summer apart from Glastonbury as the roads and M5 are just awful and we have a lot of cricket commitments here.  But I've always wanted to go to Santorini so maybe, just maybe, we'll go there.

[BlackHole2006]

Another one for Boomtown. Or I might just sack all festivals off for a year and go to Vegas. 

[balti-pie]

Bulgaria and its resident crazyass metal festival near the Dio statue 

[stuartbert two hats]

Definitely got my eye on Boomtown.

[BlackHole2006]

Beautiful Days could be another option for me.
