Times Online - The top 100 music festivals.
THE BIG EVENTS
Isle of Wight
June 12-14, Seaclose Park,
Newport
The summer’s first big,
mainstream festival has bagged
Neil Young before he sets foot in
Somerset, plus the Prodigy,
Razorlight, Maxïmo Park, the
Pixies and Pendulum. The
original Isle of Wight’s reputation
was for rock, but the revived
festival caters equally for pop
fans — McFly, Will Young and
the Script share the bill. If you
can’t face the ferry, the festival
will be broadcast on ITV2,
although a 10-minute trip on the water is surely preferable to hour
of fluffy host Fearne Cotton.
Times Online - The festival survival guide; our top tips.
...How will you live?
Is a basic standard of living tied into your enjoyment of a weekend
of music and, optimistically, sun? I met someone last week who
went to Glastonbury in 2005, the year the camp sites were wiped
out by flash floods. “It wouldn’t have been so bad,” she mused,
clearly still scarred, “but I’d been there for six days before the
festival even started, so I was already miserable.” The lesson?
Pace yourself. And don’t pitch your tent next to a river. Or the
toilets. Or floodlights.
Or the car park. Or the cast of Hollyoaks. I’ve tried them all. If
camping really isn’t for you (and there’s no shame in that), then
you could try one of the wonderful All Tomorrow’s Parties
weekenders, which take place roughly three times a year at a
Butlins holiday camp. Not only do you get bemused redcoats
mingling with earnest Sonic Youth fans, the chalet
accommodation means you also get a kitchen, a bed and a
bathroom that isn’t shared with several thousand other people.
Where reliving Hi-De-Hi! isn’t an option, there are still plenty of tent
alternatives — rentable pods and seaside shacks make a happy
medium at Glastonbury, most sites will let you bring in a caravan
for a few extra quid, and if you choose a festival that’s within
walking distance of a town centre, such as Reading, or London’s
Wireless, you can cheat and stay in a hotel, like the bands do. I
once shared a lift with Frank Black and Kim Deal. I’m a big Pixies
fan. I didn’t say a word and they didn’t acknowledge my presence,
but still — the Pixies! In a lift!... |

Bizarrely, the link doesn't seem to work now.
The 15th June London one seems interesting. obviously to tie in with the 'Minotaur' release |

| Rang the venue, and they said "Private gig. No tickets available", although they weren't sure whether it was actually a performance or not. |

| Good luck getting in... it's invite only, no tickets for sale. It's a launch party for Minotaur. Lots of artwork on display, Vaughan Oliver will be there, Simon Larbalestier as well, and all 4 Pixies. |

| Three, at least. You'll probably be allowed in after loitering outside for an hour and they'll be playing 'Where Is My Mind?' as an encore. Ha. Serves you right, you loiterer, you. |

| A good clip of the band playing 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' at the Isle of Wight Festival. BF was interviewed beforehand, in which inexplicably popular British comic Rufus Hound asked a bunch of questions. |

pixies playing cecilia ann, dig for fire, allison, boom chicka boom...
just a few songs extra can make a lot of difference.

| From the clips of recent performances, BF seems really into it, playing guitar quite violently etc. Good to see. |

| I was thinking of going down anyway, but it's unlikely anyone would get in, sadly. Seems a strange way to run things. |
