Mastodon
Trivium

Have these festivals been yet? I really want to see FNM live! Have you ever seen Muse live? Mastodon were absolutely unbelievable when i saw them, i wasnt even that big a fan before the show.

Trivium however, remain the only band i have ever walked out on during their show.

Nope they haven't been yet! Unfortunately I had to sell my ticket to one of them as I'm moving overseas, but I'm still seeing Faith No More at their own show in New Zealand in late February! I can't wait, it's definitely the band I am looking forward to seeing the most.

Muse I haven't seen yet either, that festival is at the end of this month. I've never seen them live but I'm a pretty big fan so I'm looking forward to it, plus I've heard good things.

Unfortunately due to selling one of my tickets/moving I won't be seeing Mastodon or Trivium or a few of those other bands! Looks like I won't be missing out with Trivium, though. I was never really much of a fan of them to start with.

So yeah, none of them have happened yet... I don't know what it's like over there but here you always have to buy your ticket months and months in advance!

Its the same here for festivals. Glastonbury even make you apply beforehand and you just have to hope that you get one. You pay for your ticket before you even know the line up.

Trivium were awful. Ive seen some God awful gigs but always stayed to the very end. Not with Trivium though, i just couldnt take any more. I went back to the pub over the road from the venue and it was full of people who had also paid to be at the gig.

You'll love Muse. I wasnt a Muse fan when i saw them live for the first time in 2001. I had Showbiz and really wasnt very fond of it at all. I was a fan after the show though.

I'm thinking of going to a festival called Rockness which is located at eh, Loch Ness. Only part of the line up has been released.

The Strokes
BBC1 Radio is their official radio partner to the festival.
2MANYDJ'S
SoulWax
Justice

Yay!

Rodrigo y Gabriela
The White Stripes
The Police
Tortoise
Gogol Bordello
Stanton Moore Trio
Flight of the Conchords
Demitri Martin
Dave Attell

and enough drugs to kill all of mainland Europe and the Shetland Islands.

I'm reeeeeeaaaallly hoping to go to The Fest in Gainesville this year. I turn 18 and therefore it becomes legal for me to attend! Seriously, the Fest looks like the most amazing thing ever. This is the website for the Fest 2009:

Glastonbury, thats all I want and need.

After seeing the lineup this morning I definitely think I'm going to go ahead and book a trip to Coachella this year. The last time I went was in '04 and thought it would be my first and last time. The following years' lineups definitely weren't worth the treacherous trip but me thinks I have to see Thom Yorke in the flesh (finally) and Sunny Day Real Estate who I unfortunately missed when they rolled through here. All in all, I give this year's lineup a big thumbs up.
