does anyone know of any nice little festivals that are on this year? going to shambala (of course) and secret garden party which is tiiiny this year, and possibly waveform which is pretty new and small, but i'd like to continue this theme. any suggestions? if not, anyone up for a hipforums festival 2009? hehe.. i guess it would be hipfestival 09 really. anyway i digress, i'm off to bed. night!
Aeon was supposed to be cancelled this year, but they've found a new location to put on the festival and it's just outside Crediton (5 miles from Exeter) at Shobrooke Park and about 10 mins from my house http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=93596703
second the Aeon festival, some of us even got there last year. also good words about this one "Llama at Lynton and Lynmouth" weather permitting a group of friends are going http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=60859770
ooo yeah already planning on going to llama, it's free and a relatively short bus ride from my house. i went last year and it's a lot of fun. not a festival as such just bands and things on the green and the beach. but it's cool! babyhead are playing this year too!! *bounces* aeon and end of the road look great, that's exactly the kind of thing i was looking for thankyou! and aeon's vair cheap too, i like it.
ooooo my..conor oberst is at end of the road..*faints* i'm not a creepy fangirl or anything but that definitely makes me want to buy a ticket to that one now.
Yeah tis well cheap. I think my friends and I are just going to buy day tickets as I only live up the hill from the Aeon fest this year. Also, check out Waveform
that looks so awesome... think i'm away then dammit, but wow..next year definitely. so is anyone coming over for LLAMA festival then?
World on Your Doorstep, West Yorkshire 19th and 20th July - FREEEEE!!! http://www.theworldonyourdoorstep.org/woyd/
If I told you I'd have to kill you- they wouldn't stay that small then heh. Personally I can't deal with huge festies- gimme a couple of thousand at most really, you get to make proper friends, everything's a bit more intimate and family feeling and has a proper festie feel not a '£4 a beer, spend, consume, drop your crap on the floor, consume some more and move on' vibe that you get at big events (even big events that I enjoy and have a *cough* 'hippy' crowd) . Grassroots, Wiltshire, should be great this year, only 800 people... A little something in Wales in late July I'm looking forward to also... Small World too deserves a mention... Waveform was good fun last year, not really small though by no stretch of the imagination large but a good atmosphere nonetheless despite the pissup/brewery elements... On a related note; if anyone wants cheap (legit, honest guv) Waveform tickets then PM me, I'll sortyaaaaht, like...
The Angel of the North is 10 on the 22nd of June. They're throwing her party. There'll be cake and face painting and things. Pretty sure there's some music too. Oh, and the first revellers to arrive get goody bags
Llama - Lynton and Lynmouth good reports, a beautiful and entertaining little festival, a good vibe throughout and even had impromptue entertainment from Keith Allen who was there as part of the audience, found him jiving to Babyhead. Shannon spent the next couple of hours entertaining his little daughter, Lily's baby sister one supposes. Thought Yop Knuckle were fun as well.
agreed, llama was a right laugh babyhead were awesome! nice weather too, despite the gloomy weather reports.
you should check out the lamer tree festival! it's not everyone's cup of tea but in my opinion it's a good laugh http://www.larmertreefestival.co.uk/pages/index.html
