Hucknall Ram Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I tried to see Kasabian, they was headlining the radio one tent at Leeds festival, but the closest I could get was between the radio one tent and the jungle tent, so I was getting half jungle and half kasabian, so I gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrdinary Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Saw them in leicester before they became famous, at v twice and a couple of others well worth it Notable other perfrmances, the specials, the ordinary boys (before big brother) and friendly fires (well worth a watch if you get a chance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby_Dave Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Nearly all of the music at Glasto doesn't suit me at all I'd only see about 3 or 4 bands I actually like, plus I don't think I could be doing with the veterans they seem to put out every year. To me, you still get people acting like hippies, and the most annoying thing of the lot is the general 'stuck up' attitude by alot of people, mainly posh Londoners who think its the cool thing to do. Like I said before, give me a northern festival anyday - no trouble whatsoever, everyone is in a brilliant mood and you can talk to anyone! We had some southerners with us one year (not our choice) and all they did was moan. That's the thing though you only get fed the main stages by the bbc and they are a tiny part of what is on offer. Have you been and experienced this 'stuck up attitude'? I have been to many different festivals and although you do get the odd nimrod that is inevitable when such a large group of people gather Glastonbury has by far the best atmosphere. The other festivals do not do it at all for me. I like to go to bed when I have finished my evening/morning not when someone tells me to. Anyway to answer the questions. 1. Blur - Amazing!!! 2. Kasabian - Was so looking forward to them but just had no presence at all. The crowd stood around talking through half of it. 3. Rod Stewart - I was talked into it but once it got going was really good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were just sitting down talking/playing cards. It was embarrassing. They (and the Libertines) were overrated anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there mate, i did like their 1st song ("bang bang" or something like that), they came on stage played that 1st, next couple of songs was crap so me and the wife fooked off for a burger and beer.

ESR Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've been to too many gigs and quite a few festivals so I can't really put whos the best I've seen or worst. For me, Kasabian are my ultimate band, they are always my number 1, I love every song and seen them 6 times last year. Kasabian aside (I'm biased so I'm not including them) the best band I've seen would be Kings Of Leon, they've blew me away when I've seen them, epic is the word I'd use to describe them live. Worst would be 1 of many support acts, mainly because I either aren't interested in the act or they have been poor The act that has surprised me most would be Biffy Clyro - I had seen them support Muse and I was a fan of them but a month or 2 later I went to Leeds festival - must have been 2007 - and they were by far the best band of the weekend, even eclipsing RHCP and others. I've seen them about 4/5 times and they sold out Rock City both times I went, 1 of them were before the over exposure by Radio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at Leeds the music in the campsites go on til 3am, or even further? They have a number of places where there are DJ's playing music, some of the best banter happens at night anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 a lack of hygiene facilities puts me off from attending festivals.I also cannot trust myself to not punch the annoying gits who sit on peoples shoulders,thus blocking the view of many.

Bristol Ram Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I went to Glastonbury once, in my late teens. The Levellers were headlining. Now that was a bloody good show. Feeling old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
