The thing about festivals - they nearly always book loads of people you wouldn't actually cross the road to go and see. Unless the festival is actually in a nice place - somewhere as you say Foolestroup where you want to be, somewhere pleasant! with your mates - it can work out as a bloody expensive miserable business.

if that makes me seem a tight sod, i'm sorry. But I prefer concerts and clubs. I don't know about anybody else, but I nearly always find myself looking round for other stuff localy than what's on the festival that I've paid to see.
