Basingstoke

If you consider Radio One Big Weekend a festival, and with Bearded Theory currently underway, festival season is now upon us.

Who's participating? Where are you going? Could there be an opportunity to meet new friends in a relaxed environment enjoying the performances (I mean the artists on stage you filthy lot!).

Why not post here and take the opportunity to make some contacts before you get there? You never know where it might lead...

IoW or Victorious anyone??

None of the mainstream music festivals for us - Fantasy Forest is the only non medieval or Steampunk festival we're going to.

Bit of both, I hate I can only afford one this year, but I also don't have any must sees on the line up. Having been to each year its been on over the past 10 years I just don't feel the changes they make improve it for me

I just bowed into peer pressure and got a ticket with my friends as they still love it

Been 3 times with an ex - had a great time. Hopefully it's kept the small festival feel...

I've never been to Glastonbury. I've never felt that - for me - the lineups justify the cost/stress of getting a ticket, and having to camp. My back can't cope with camping and I'd be in agony all weekend! I'll watch what I fancy on iPlayer instead

It's a shame you couldn't persuade your friends to go to an alternative festival that you wanted to attend... Maybe next year!
