    I'm not going to any this year I don't think :( My dad has backstage passes for Boomtownfair, but he's not sure if he wants to take me or not because it's crawling with drugs apparently.

    Most festivals do have a lot of drugs though. When I worked at Reading it was a nightmare having to deal with high people being dicks and confiscating drugs.

    Do you think you'd be able to deal with all the temptation? I had a little look at the page for it and it looks awesome!

    Yea I mean I used to go to festivals all the time when I was younger, worked at them with my dad. I think he's just worried about me getting addicted again, and I guess he doesn't want to put me in an environment where it'll be really easy to get drugs.

    It does look great though! I'm going to have to speak to him about it again I think :)

    I'm going to Greenbelt. Rock and roll.

    I always want to go to Bestival and Glastonbury but the timing never works out.

    Larmer Tree Festival starts tomorrow.
    I have the benifit of living within 45 minutes of some of the best festivals in this country. Glasto, Boomtown, Reading, Isle Of Wight, Bestival and various other smaller festivals - Larmer Tree is as good as any of them. Wish I was going.

    Skive have you been to Boomtown before? Is it good? My dads got backstage passes off a mate who's working there, don't know whether to go or not/if I'll be able to avoid drugs.
  • SkiveSkive Posts: 15,282 Skive's The Limit
    Yes. One of the best festivals I've been to. They put some serious effort into making it quite different from any other festival. Loads of freaky looking people there.

    Has anyone been to a festival by themselves?? The 'friend' I was supposed to be working with at End of the Road next month has dropped out because he can't be bothered, so I'm going to be going by myself. I'm quite nervous that I'll have a shit time and that it won't be fun without friends there too, especially as it's a very small and posh festival :(

    Last year I was a bit restricted because it was during the Broken Leg Saga so I couldn't get around much and I wasn't there the year before.

    I'm not sure what my plans are this year I am probably dependent on church people to get there and back so I'm not sure if I'll be able to be flexible x

    On a slight tangent here, but I can never seem to fault the production values on videos like this that thesite produce.
