I’ve always wanted to go to music festivals. When I was growing up in the country, I’d see Homebake or Big Day Out roll around each year and I’d think “one day I’ll be grown up and have my own car and go to music festivals all the time. Well I’m (sort of) grown up, I have my own car, and I’ve yet to go to a music festival. My friend Cat and I are thinking of going to the Coaster Music Festival next month in Gosford, and if that fails, we’re making big plans to do a group trip to Splendour in the Grass at Byron Bay next year. I’ll keep you posted with my progress. Hoping to buy Coaster tix when I get paid next.

How I did it: Saw an ad in the paper advertising missy higgins and jason mraz who were performing in bonython park. Got really really excited at this, as they are two of my favourite artists in the world :) Then bought the tickets about a month later.

Hostile exists in defiance of all logic.
How I did it: My first festival was Download Festival '04, I went with some classmates who had organised it. I saved up for the ticket and bought it online, packed all my shit the night before and then got a lift to Donnington with my friends. It's a pretty easy thing to do. After that I started going to festivals in Europe which is slightly more difficult but if you've got experience spending a day just travelling then you've got all the experience yo… Read how I did it…

I went to my first one ever, yesterday, and it doesn’t count. I got the ticket free and it was a good event but, had I had the choice, I would have gone to see artists I like.
Starting in ten days!!! Stevie Wonder, Cuban All Stars and Ben Harper- all free! And another 350 free performances besides them!!! I can’t wait!!! :)
..Rock Werchter! This is the first time I’m going to a festival and it’s even more exciting because I’m traveling to another country with just my friends and no parents! And none of us will be 18 by then! It is definitely going to be a summer to remember :D

I am still so excited! :D In two weeks I am going to see two of my favaourite artists, missy higgins and jason mraz and two others as well.
Sonshine, Lilith Fair, Earthdance are the music festivals Ive attended.
Glastonbury is a definite wish. Perhaps also the New Orleans Jazz Fest and SXSW…and any other festival that I hear about that sounds interesting.
Definitely trying to incorporate more live music into my life. Every day I listen to streaming EDM on the net, and I attend famous DJ shows when they come to town, but Im trying to get more concerts – and festivals of course – in there too~

it’s obviously too late to go anywhere now, but I went to the Newport Folk Festival last year and I’d love to go again, or someplace similar. It was gorgeous there, right by the ocean, and it was HOT! But I did get a nice tan, and listened to some good music, and I still can’t get over how gorgeous it was that day(: There was one stage that was right by the ocean, and there were boats all over the harbor that were just docked there, with people out on the decks just to listen to all the music for free.
Point: it was great, and I’d love to go back. :D
Yesterday I went to a music festival in Newcastle called “Fat As Butter”. It was AWESOME! There was so much music, alcohol, dancing, food, stalls and people. Its such an extreme overload.
I would suggest people don’t drink to much or it all flies past so quickly and you don’t remember all that much.
On a random note my gorgeous boyfriend told me he loved me whilst standing on a hill listening to music and eating over-priced food. It added to the original experiences of the day.
