Just do what I do, camp in the Green campsite, its further away from everywhere, but the trade off being that come Sunday night, you can can just chill out around your campfire and have an early night (essential for us old gits) while all the idiots destroy everything in Red. Mind you, having been to Leeds for the past few years, it has gotten a lot better, they no longer allow gas cans in and any fires that look like they're getting out of control, they put them out pretty quickly.capper42 said:
On topic, I already have my ticket for Leeds brought, I'm hoping that the poster with Kasabian and Greenday on it is the actually lineup, it will make up for the less than stellar lineup last year. Some nice weather would be nice too.
Will probably go to Download as well as I have the time off work, the lineup is shaping up nicely with The Prodigy, Metallica, Terrorvision and Devin Townsend being highlights for me. Some nice weather would be nice there too.

I don't know how legit it is, though - it could be a complete fake for all I know. I do hope it's true, though. Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, The Cure... I might not actually go to the festival, but I sure would watch it on TV.

Underground metal festivals are the way! (most of them are)
I should move to Germany and settle down. They got all the good stuff.
I am doing these:

22-24/06/12 Graspop Metal Meeting [http://www.graspop.be/nl/bands/index.html] (Only care about Twisted Sister and Possessed to be honest)
13-14/07/12 Bang Your Head [http://www.bang-your-head.de/images/billing_2012.gif] (a lot of crap on that bill too)

I think this is fake, I don't see Blur being under The Killers, Jay - Z and Kanye West being anything other than headliners. I also doubt that Radiohead would be under The Foo Fighters. I also don't see Enter Shikari playing for the 4th year in a row.OhJohnNo said:This image seems relevant:

I'm hoping that the other lineup poster is the real lineup,
Just seems to be a bit more realistic in my opinion.
Well that still has some bands I'm interested in (Twin Atlantic appeared in one of the tents last year, we caught the end of their act - they were pretty good). I've also heard good things about The Black Keys, so it'll probably still be worth a watch on the telly.Catfood220 said:I think this is fake, I don't see Blur being under The Killers, Jay - Z and Kanye West being anything other than headliners.

Possibly going to Kendal Calling, Feeder are playing there awesome also Dizzie Rascal although I'm not big on him.
I would rather go to T in The Park though the line up made me jizz in my pants( Metaphorically)

Download tempted me, but it's two days before my exams begin in earnest, so I can't.
Might do lots of one-day trips rather than going just to one. Depends on the line-up for Reading and Latitude, those are the big two to choose from.
(Sonisphere doesn't interest me, except maybe Sunday)

Me and my friends ahve been to Download the last 3 years, but I doubt we'll be going this year, or at least, I won't. No money for tickets for a start, and I've already seen quite a few of the bands on the lineup and the rest don't interest me.
I'm holding out for Hevy fest this year out of the usual Bloodstock/Soni/Download none of them take my fancy, went hevy the year Black Dahlia Murder were there (I got to meet Trev I was so happy xD) So here's hoping! 
I've bought download tickets and I'm getting a saturday ticket to sonisphere because Gojira are that awesome.
After that I'm torn between bloodstock and hellfest. Hellfest has the better lineup but it's in france :/

Waiting for the Global Gathering line-up to be announced... I have never been to a festival, but that one really interests me! There was some awesome stuff on last year, hopefully will get to see Sub Focus, Skrillex and Infected Mushroom this year... or one of those will do!
I would love to go to Download but too expensive for me this year so going to the Rory Gallagher festival in Ballyshannon =)

Kinetik, and Heavy MTL. Both are in Montreal, Quebec. Kinetik is for aggrotech, and heavy MTL is for metal. I went to Heavy MTL last year, and it was probably the best weekend of my life, but I missed Kinetik.
The bands I want to see at Kinetik are Combichrist, Blutengel, Hocico, Grendel, FGFC820, C-lekktor and Shiv-R. As for Heavy MTL, I heard a rumour that Slipknot is going to be the headliner, and I've wanted to see them since I was 13... This is going to be an expensive summer.

Looks like fun, though I admit I'd only go for a handful of the bands. Namely Gamma Ray, Hammerfall... Wait, no Blind Guardian? I'm not as jealous as I originally thought I'd be.RanD00M said:
I went to Big Day Out, which was good, but slightly spoiled by the fact I decided to go alone. Really took a lot of the fun out of the day.
