Kent Festival weekend

Why would they organise Booshstock and zoo+thousand for the same weekend? They're both fairly close (Hythe and Tonbridge) and obviously aimed at the same indie kids, this is like putting Glastonbury and Reading on the same weekend.We're not going to ...

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Speaking of journeys through time and space...

The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, W...

Hibbett's Edinburgh festival show confirmed for The Medina

It's all kicking off at the Hop Farm this year isn't it? Neil Young is there on the 6th, and according to the NME, there's a Mighty Boosh festival the same weekend. No tickets on sale for that yet I don't think, so could all be a lie,keep an eye on e...

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...

He's doing a proper fringe show

he's there for a week, details must be on here.

Main (our calendar)

Pulp and Tindersticks, just popped along for a bit, got free tickets from someone. Not sure which day of this weekend......

Reading Festival

Reading Festival 2000

Reading Festival

Blur headlined, not a very strong lineup I don't think. I was working mostly, and managed to lose my first mobile phone that work lent me.

Santa Pod Raceway

I clearly remember David Devant and Holy Barbarians, David Bowie, Sex Pistols and Foo Fighters too I think, must have seen a lot more though......

The Joiners

plus Linoleum. Had to walk back from Southampton after being stopped with no lights on my bike, then head to Phoenix Festival the next day.

Stanmer Park

Super Furry Animals, Kula Shaker, Menswear, Echobelly, Marion, Chumbawamba, Bis and more... missed David Devant, but I did trek there with 16 people in my bus....

Avon Park Raceway

VW festival. I'm sure there were bands, can't remember which ones though. Was it Beetle Bash or Bug Jam that had The Prodigy, with Keith Flint rolling across the crowd in a big hamster ball?

Stanmer Park

Carter USM, PWEI, Teenage Fanclub, Dodgy, The Charlatans, Gene, Lighting Seeds, Skunk Anansie, Reef. Think I was at this...

Reading Festival

Just went for the day, and we picked the worst day by far looks like, RHCP disappointed. I remember They Might Be Giants and Echbelly and Ginger Wildhearts playing with a broken arm.

Glastonbury

My first Glastonbury festival, went in my van, hard to fault the lineup on the NME stage... Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Manics, etc....

Southsea Common

Kirsty MacColl and Tom Robinson. Honestly, I went to some better gigs than this.
