    If anyone is going to T in the Park, I'd strongly recommend going to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

    Would go see the yeah yeah yeahs but by the looks of things they are going to clash with maximo park, never seen them live but love a lot of their stuff. Other picks for the weekend will be calvin harris, white lies, the specials.

    That's quite annoying as I'd like to see Maximo Park too. I suppose I could go to a few songs of each band.

    I went to Glade two years ago and it's the last festival I'll go to unless I'm actually playing. The whole place was a swamp after raining for two days solid. There were rivers running past our tents. An absolute nightmare!

    Here is a typical Glade 2007 scene:

    Jesus Chappie and I thought Sloxegen was bad, that puts it to shame.
    Ive never had a consistently hot weekend at a summer festival, its ridiculuous.

    Kindly disregard all talk of festivals not happening due to the 'swine flu' as it is - total media perpertrated bollocks. Thank you.

    Yeah. There's a bus of about 20 of us setting off about 7.00am on the friday. Hopefully get down and set up for 1 or something. I remember last year that there was massive queues to get in.

    Same here, I have seen alot of the bigger bands. Ones I will be trying to catch over the weekend are Maximo Park, The Specials, Calvin Harris, White Lies, The Airbourne Toxic Event, Doves, Pendulum, Starsailor, Razorlight. Will no doubt venture into the slam tent at some point too.

    What about yourself, anyone you are looking forward to catching ?

    The band I'm most looking forward to seeing is Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Definitely want to go see Jason Mraz and White Lies too. Maximo Park if they're on at a time when no-one else I want to see is playing. I'll probably go see a bit of Franz Ferdinand too.
