Going to Benicassim, anyone been before? I'm pretty sure of what to expect but looking for opinions from others.

2013 is the first Glasto I missed since 2002. I'm gutted to be missing it especially as the line up looks better than it has for a while.

I used to go to V and Carling Leeds but have given them a miss in more recent years since they're more of a rip off/less well organised than Glasto.

I tried Latitude in 2011 which was another rip off. I hate those festivals where you can't take your own drink into the "arena". There you couldn't even take your own water even though the taps weren't working.

I enjoyed DeerShed in 2010, The Wedding Present headlined. Smaller festivals are great but I like to have at least one band on that I like. No idea where to go this year, a mate recommends the Wicker Man Fest.

I don't see the point in festivals, or how you can enjoy them anymore? I went to Leeds 2 years ago and it was just full of 16/17 year olds off their heads and just generally pissing everyone off!!

In seeming contradiction to my previous post, I'm now off to 'Specialized - The Big One Two' in Dorset in November as I've kindly been gifted a press pass.

I love festivals now as much as I always have.
I'm in my mid 20s and been to at least one festival every year for probably 8 years now.
While the music is probably slightly worse (will always happen with the sheer volume of festivals bands have the option of playing now) I don't think the atmosphere is generally any different.
I've been to Leeds and TITP regularly and I don't buy into this 'kids are taking over at festivals' stuff. 16/17 year olds have always been at events like this.

Gutted I couldn't go to Glastonbury this year, never been and always wanted to. Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling and Kasabian in the week at Brid Spa certainly softens the blow though.
