Best Festival

Glastonbury for me, wouldn't miss it for the world. Once yer in yer in, none of this camping on the outside of the event.

Why I like it;

Cider Bus Always a diverse line Up John Otway always plays System 7 Always play Cabaret Marquee Outside Theatre People I meet People watching

Yeah ,deffo Glastonbury.Only been a couple of times- 94 and 95 but there's so much going on in a great part of the countryside.Nice bonfires too:D

reading is ok ish.V is a commercial hell and Wireless is only good if NO are playing .My Bro goes to that Glade fest.I think he saw System 7 there last year.

Liquid Connective /Little Green planet do some great illegal parties in woods in Sussex and Kent, too.

Are you joining John Otway on his world tour? £4000 books you a seat on a plane of 300 like minded souls.

PS. any festival within travelling distance of a 5 star hotel is OK by us.

Yer not staying with the posh coonts next year then Diggy?

Fcuk camping

Done V and Glasters last year, my first and second festivals ever.

Glastonbury was better, but then it was much harder work. As someone said to me at the time - V and T and the rest are like a mad sprint to get off it, see bands and generally have fun. Glastonbury is a marathon.

Next year I will plan it a little better. I'd take a proper drink and other provisions for a start - those burger vans are no good after a few days. I'd definatley go for the full week again, but I wouldn't plan to leave on the Monday - that was shit. I wouldn't get my head burnt on the Sunday morning and I would not get so pissed that I missed the Scream (not that they will be invited back).

Oh, and I won't be spending quite so long at the cider bus next year - that stuff bends your mind!

If they can find 300 people with the same mind as me, they can have £8,000.

No its not. Well, not at the moment. They are having seemingly massive difficulties with the council and the council aint budging. Which is a shame, as I was really looking forward to it.

And the best festival is Glastonbury. many a fond memory of the last two years. :)

Isle Of Wight is quite good as well.

Then vote Liam !

Done!

Did you ever show the picture of that kid you took a picture of next to the cider bus? I cant remember why you were taking a picture of him.

I think Doves were mooted to play Deeply Vale.read it on Doves' site

I'll dig it out !

Listen to me, i know what i'm saying...

there was supposed to be an annoucement last friday, but there wasnt:

Apologies to all concerned. We were expecting to have everything signed, sealed and delivered today. However, negotiations did not go as planned. The local authorities have made a number of 'interesting suggestions', which we feel would compromise the feel and ethos of the event. We have decided to try and address those issues in the best way possible by coming to a compromise (if we can).

We hope you will bear with us. We are, after all, trying to create an event that will be a memorable, pleasurable experience. The new Deeply Vale festival is all about the punters (you guys) and we want to get the 'formula' as 'right' as possible. As it stands, we cannot hold the event we want to hold and so we need to find a way to deliver the event in a way that won't disappoint but will also satisfy the relevant authorities.

Please feel free to continue posting questions and we will endeavour to provide what information we can.

Thanks.

The Deeply Vale Team

Lollapalooza. It's not the best festival but its probably the easiest for most Americans to get too. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article\_display.jsp?vnu\_content\_id=1001996465

It was a horrible traveling show but last years weekend fest wasnt bad. Some good acts and a great location.

Think we have very different definitions of "shit", Michael!

Guess I'm just a closet Hippie

yeah they're all full of scruffy twats & dirty lookin minger birds, especially that drainwater infested mudbath Glast. fuck stayin in a tent round there. you'd have to be barking.

Would argue that Werchter and Les Vielles Charrues are at least the equal of any of those listed above!

Also, a lot of the laydeez are very easy on the eye..

What are the dates for this year AL
