Mark the Quiff Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 13 times. 1989 to 1994 then 2013 to 2019. Big gap was marriage, children, career and life in general. Came back when my daughters were old enough to enjoy it with me. I met a guy there this year that had just done 30 years straight - 1990 to 2019. Like me, 2019 was his last.

Benj Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Every year since 97, so 23 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_478 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Every year since 2008 (although only one day in 2015 since two of my good friends had the temerity to get married on the Saturday!), so 12 in total. Will keep going as long as the lineup justifies the cost, this year was a cracker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_W01 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 2019 was my first year. was blown away by the acts, the food was rubbish it's a completely different vibe from Glastonbury though, definitely going again though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomised Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 1991 was my first. I think having come this far I owe it to myself to do my 30th in 2021 then give it up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy2913 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Only been twice, Leeds 2018 and 2019, but had an absolute blast both times, made some memories I'll never forget. It's a bit of a shame there seems to be a shift away from rock bands, but I've still seen plenty of bands and artists I've waited years to see, so can't really complain I guess. Out of the two festivals, 2018 was probably my favourite. 2014's lineup makes me envious though, would have loved to have went to that one.

Dales Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Only went twice to the full festival with camping at Reading in 1995 & 1996. On reflection, I wish I had gone a few more times as I have missed some cracking lineups over the years. These days in my old dotage, I prefer to sleep in a hotel and go to the festival to watch the acts and not spend all night drinking and listening to techno. These days the Reading lineups don't really do anything for me. There are always plenty of bands I want to see but also plenty of artists that don't interest me. The mix of genres frankly does not appeal and the thought of the full festival is a bit daunting now. The odd day ticket is still an option. I do enjoy going over the Reading/Leeds line up threads even if I dislike a lot of the artists people are hoping will play. I also doubt many would like the lineup I would want to go back to a full Reading Festival. I'm hoping, you all get the artists you want in 2020 but it will be another year I don't go as off to Victorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) This will be my 18th year in a row As a rock/metal/punk fan it’s getting harder and harder to justify going but I always have a great time when I’m there. Many more days like Saturday of 2019 and my run will come to an end, though ironically the Sunday of 2019 was one of the best ever lineups for me personally.

heartsink Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 07, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 so 11 for me 16 was the last decent all round line up, glory years for me would obvs be 09-14 in terms of best line ups 17 and 18 is where I feel it’s started to go downhill for me so missed 19! Hoping for a good line up this year to pull me back in and take me back to my favourite festival bar glasto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
