Leaning towards Download but that's mainly because of Aerosmith and Biffy Clyro and Of Mice and Men.

Arcade Fire only main draw for me at Iow.. Though can heartily recommend Nothing but thieves, Texas, rag & bone man is superb, sherlocks get better every time I see them... Kaiser Chiefs pretty good too

Download... If evil Scarecrow play, go see them!

IOW for Arcade Fire & Kaiser's are always a good festival band, Download not my genre of music tbh. Pity, as it's only down the road.

It's gotta be the iow for us, mainly because we love going abroad

Although the lineups of either aren't really inspiring as yet .

Yes, there is not really anything on either list that makes me want to go.

Though to be fair I'm not a big fan of festivals. I leave that to my daughter. At least she is old enough now that I never have to go see "All Time Low" again (she's grown out of them too).

Which small festival has the best chilled out hippie vibe? I'm not into folk, but I love blues and bluesy rock. Love a bit of Zeppelin and proggy rock but not metal.

Chagfest, Devon is good little one...

Or head up to Keswick for their jazz and blues festival or Burnley for their blues festival

Efestival website list hundreds and may have something small closer to you

Ive never had any interest in going to Glastonbury, Maybe if I was a first year student wanting to try dope for the first time, then I could keep my wrist band on for rest of Uni, or if I was a juggler on stilts I may enjoy it, I could even get married in a blow up church?

Kendal Calling is very chilled out, even had a shisha tent last time I went. Not too expensive either, around £120 for the weekend including camping... Compared to the £200+ some charge!

Download and Glastonbury have been comped to me again this year so that's a no-brainier. Campervans or the popup hotel are the only way I stay at festivals.

Iow for me , purely for Arcade Fire . Cannot understand what Ricky has done with the new kaisers direction they aren't a draw anymore to me.

Considering Rock Werchter in Belgium , that has a belting line up
