The General 2014 Music Festival Thread For Music Festival Chat

[tristy]

40 plus festivals for a freshly reunited OutKast is pretty big news, considering the past few years it seemed like it was never going to happen.

[Cymbols]

Anyone ever been to Tomorrowland? A few of the guys from school are considering going and I'm fairly tempted.

[K]

Fuckin kings of Leon are back at werchter again. They were only there last year. Pull your finger out rw.

Sooooo psyched for this!

Holy shit that is a wonderful line-up. I'm heavily considering doing an American festival next year, a few friends do The Fest every year and they come back with such wonderful stories (and I totally got bought a Weatherbox t-shirt. Boom).

Are One Night Stand In North Dakota going purely by ONSIND now? I haven't seen them use the full name in forever.

Also I'll be picking up tickets to ArcTanGent when they go on sale on the 30th. Grillstock also seems like a likely possibility because BBQ + Hayseed Dixie + £20 a ticket is far too good to pass up on.

[LittleDaniel]

I need to go to Fest in the next few years. I'm living like two hours from there now and I've got a guaranteed place to sleep in Gainesville. But now it's like a fucking week! And the first four days or something this year was like 100 miles away from the rest of Fest.

[K]

Baby shambles confirmed for werchter. I had no idea they were even still a thing.

[Matt]

I had no idea that Pete Doherty wasn't dead

[Jimmy]

Baby shambles confirmed for werchter. I had no idea they were even still a thing.

A couple of my friends saw 'em in September and said they were great. But I'm pretty sure they're the kind of band you're only going to get anything out of if you really, really love them already.

[Lowerdeck]

This looks very solid. Can't afford to do the whole weekend, perhaps one of the days though.

[tristy]

A good chunk of that line-up will likely be at Bonnaroo. I'm hoping, anyway. It's a given 'Roo is getting OutKast, but I really hope for a Jack White appearance. I'm sure Skrillex will be back on the farm, and I'm really hoping I get to see Disclosure and James Blake. No one else here goes to Bonnaroo, do they? I know you've been a few times, Lowerdeck, and damshow always wimps out. Other posters should try and make the trek!

[DFF]

Download looks fucking weak as hell, there isn't a single band I really want to see, sure it'd be cool to see Aerosmith and Status Quo but I won't lose any sleep over missing them.

If you want a metal festival, head to Hellfest in France. They've gone fucking mental this year and the line-up is insane. I'm considering it as a third.

Maiden, Rob Zombie, Queensryche, Therapy?, Slayer, trivium, Sepultura, Turisas, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Status Quo, Skid Row, Buckcherry, A7X, Soulfly, Hatebreed, Monster Magnet, Clutch, Sabbath, Soundgarden, Megadeth, Annihilator, The Misfits.

It's crazy.

This.

Seriously just look at the variety, size and quality of bands on offer. Also, what other festival could you go and see Status Quo and Carcass on the same day - let alone at the same festival weekender!?

I'll try and get ArcTanGent tickets as well. I didn't know ONSIND were even still going. I got a couple of albums off YI way back, not heard anything about them in ages.

[tristy]

Kanye West headlining Bonnaroo

[LittleDaniel]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Andrew Jackson Jihad were added to pix fest. Hells yeah.

[Cymbols]

Arctic Monkeys headlining Reading and Leeds. Bailed out on tomorrowland and got a ticket for Reading instead!

[DFF]

For those into heavier stuff, Damnation festival announced Bolt Thrower as their headliner.

[tristy]

Sasquatch released their line-up for the May and July weekends, and I'll be goddamned if both weekends don't just absolutely rule. I think I'd have to pick the Memorial Day weekend line-up over the July 4th one, though.

I'm getting way too antsy for the Bonnaroo line up announcement.

[Cymbols]

The first weekend of Sasquatch looks really good. The second is also good but the first is on a different level imo. Does anyone know when the rest of Reading's lineup is announced usually?

[Matt]

March.... Well all the remaining big acts (read: most of the main stage, most of the NME and the headliners/subs for the 3rd and 4th stages) will be March. They never usually announce anything until then but in the last couple of years they've started announcing a couple of names early... I guess they've had problems selling all the tickets which seems insane given that the weekend used to sell out in about an hour 4 or 5 years ago.

[DFF]

For those into heavier stuff, Damnation festival announced Bolt Thrower as their headliner.

Damnation just announced that Raging Speedhorn are re-uniting for a one-off gig at the festival too.
