I just found Benicassim on See Tickets and I am sooo god damn tempted! But I don't like the other two headliners so I'm thinking perhaps I'll just stick to seeing them at Reading or something (fingers crossed)

[meelottie]

oooh i wanna go. i don't mind franz ferdinand but i've seen paul weller and was not to bothered. but i don't think i'll have the money damn it!

[sarah///]

I can afford the ticket but nothing else, which suxxxx

[meelottie]

i want to go to reading too so i really don't think i'll be able to get both sadly.

[sarah///]

Yeah and my friends wouldn't go to this, but I already know people going to Reading, I have a feeling they'll headline

[Meh]

They better had headline Reading. I gotta go....please do the Sunday Kings...my birthday woo!!

Haha we've taken over this thread with Reading chatter.

[meelottie]

yeah i think they will too. my mum wants to go to reading cos she thinks they'll be there.

i'm lucky that my brother would go with me but i still can't.

[Jigglytuffy™]

Those tickets are expensive! Then, I'd have to fly, then find a place to stay, then find someone to tag along? Man...

[meelottie]

£140 is the lower end of festival ticket prices.

[sarah///]

I think they're well priced, it's just the fact it'd end up being double that with flights and spending money :/

[Meh]

It all adds up doesn't it!!

Lottie: how come you can't go to Reading?!

[Jigglytuffy™]

I'd better off waiting for them to play over here for that price. And not to mention, I'd rather pay my money to see one good band than pay too much for one good band and a load of shitty bands too.

Oh sorry, got me wires crossed!!

[likelyladtom]

Oh yay! That Southside one is a distinct possibility, and maybe Benicassim too if I persuade my mates to book our holiday to 'accidently' co-incide with it

[brightlights]

gah, i was googling Benicassim this morning before the announcement! i have always wanted to go!! fark, now i have to con someone to go with me. Love love love Franz Ferdinand too! Woop!

[whitewickerchair]

[handsintheair]

Anyone on here been to Southside and/or Hurricane?

Seriously thinking about going to one of these two festivals. Especially since Editors have now confirmed they're playing as well.
