Usual round of scooter rallies, no doubt watching second rate covers bands massacring classics, although I do get to see the brilliant Dirty Revolution at Tenby, and the highly acclaimed (usually synonymous with 'over rated' IME....) Buster Shuffle at Scarborough.

I can't be arsed with festivals, I like to go somewhere to see a particular band, I don't need overload.

I'm wanting to experience a European festival within the next 2/3 years. Something like Benicassim (bit obvious), Pukkelpop or Groezrock would be lovely.

As for UK festivals there are only a handful I'd be interested in. Field Day, Arc Dan Gent and Beacons.

Just a fortnight ago I went to Holland to see Marillion play their bi-annual fans convention to 3,500 folk at a centerparcs exclusive to the band & it's fans. The gigs are played in a specially built tent with two or three support bands each night & Marillion play three different gigs with almost nine hours of music. It's the fourth time I've done that trip & it's out of this world, a big three day & night party.
In a fortnight I'm off to Hard rock hell "prog" at Rotherham's Magna centre, two days of old & new up and coming bands, it's almost a festival i suppose.

I don't do the corporate pi$$ take festivals nowadays, the fences are too high for me to climb over at my age....
