    There's also the Holtsfred Festival in Sweden from the 16th - 18th June. It's also camping and has an excellent line-up.

    which festival is this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Oral Slang


    Sorry - its Graspop - I thought I had put it in as the title, but obviously not!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 Static-SC


    Never heard of that... The lineup rules..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Oral Slang


    Yeah its a class line-up.. Its on in Dessel in Belgium & well worth going to.. Tickets are pricey, but flights & trains are cheap enough, as is beer & food.. Fury Fest looks great too, but think I'll stick with Graspop for this year.. Most bands are playing both anyway as its on the same weekend!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 Static-SC


    I think i will be heading for Graspop this summer.. Furyfest is great but this rules...
