Hehehe... what do you want to know? I'm not going this year, going to be in Stockholm that weekend. Plus I'm feeling a bit "been there done that" with V. Much better festivals out there.
 
This will be my 1st year not going in about 3 years and I have loved the past couple of years! Summer highlight for me.

For some reason I dont feel too gutted about it?

Yeah I don't really either. I went last year for the fourth time, bit of a last minute decision, and although I had a good time I was just a bit like :rolleyes: BORED! The queues at V are ridiculous, I must have spent half my time there queueing up for the toilet/drinks/entrance to arenas.

Plus I spent an absolute fortune :evil:

We just found last year to be full of Kate Moss wannabes, more worried about their outfits then the actual festival!

The years before last I think I enjoyed more.

Its too commercial now!

Festivals like the big chill are 1000x better arnt they?

Much better for organisation, facilities, atmoshpere etc. They don't have the massive names like V do.... but maybe that's a good thing!

I quite like the fact they dont go mad for big names. It stops it being rammed and you can discover some great new music that you would of never heard otherwise.
 
V is the anti-christ of all music festivals, a festival for people who don't do festivals
 
It wasnt so bad years ago but its definitely changed.

When I read Katy Perry and The Saturdays were here this year that put me right off......almost as bad as Girls Aloud last year who couldnt sing :rolleyes:
 
it's a horrendous experience, squarely aimed at stereophonics enthusiasts, the kinds of people who might buy one dance album a year (probably faithless greatest hits discounted at some tesco service station) and think they're being edgy, the people who let girls sit on their shoulders and obscure the view for the poor kunt behind, the kinds of people who get all their festival information from the Telegraph weekend colour supplement, who drive volvos and dress like Clarkson and who think smoking pot is something 'like really radical, maan' that you might sneakily indulge in once a year. It's a prolonged, stomach-churningly awful naked exercise in corporate masturbation so blatant that even coldplay fans sneer at its commercialism. It's the absolute arse end, the nadir of festiville, so wretchedly bad that even the crims stay away.

It's clearly not comparable to proper festivals but it's a day out in the sun (usually), with (some of) your mates.

I've never paid more than £20 to a scouser to get in, not sure I'd go if I had to buy a ticket. This year I am fully coporate festivaled-up as my visit is a freebie sponsored by Strongbow!:lol:

Olly, have you ever been?
 
I cant slate the first few years I went, just thought last year was going a bit down the pan/bit too commercial/too many "wannabe hippys" :p
