I'm graduating on the 17th of July and so far at least four festivals I want to go to are on this damned date. My parents are coming up specially for the weekend of my graduation as is my family and thus I cannot skip graduation (don't really want to either).

Anybody else having this problem? Anybody know of any good festivals that aren't on the weekend of the 17th of July?

    A lot of those have already sold out or aren't really my cup of tea. Bestival is a definite maybe though. It's just convincing my friends as many of them are going to festivals on that weekend and say "One is enough".

    I tried signing up for Glasto but it wouldn't let me :(

    Might help if you said what you thought were good festivals :p

    Fair point. It was more a point of annoyance to be honest. But thanks I'm getting tickets for Bestival asap.

    Oooh thanks. Just to let you know I've booked my Bestival tickets. It's going to be sooo good and my sister lives in Portsmouth and has offered to put me and my friends up for a bit of TLC from er... our "hangovers" haha,

    May check out the Electric Picnic too. Thanks guys!
