IF Glastonbury never existed........

[jamseyboy]

So in an alternative realm there is no Glastonbury....imagine if you can.....which festival would step into its shoes as "the best"?.

[vicky=)]

would there be somemany other festivals if glastonbury never came about?

[bazakin12]

there is no other

[cookywooky]

BESTIVAL (mini glasto) imo

[RichieSpenno]

Blatantly obvious there'd be 'Flastonbury'. Exactly the same as Glastonbury but no one would know cos there wouldn't be Glastonbury.

Probably worth taking a look further back in History instead of those which exist today.

I'm not old enough to be an expertise on this, so veteran festival (all fests) goers, enlighten me :angry:

[Mr Ploppy]

Well, since Glasto is so amazing and nothing could equal it - I would probably force myself to become addicted to alcohol, drugs, curly whirlys, garlic pasta, southern comfort, mayonaise, bungee jumping and stuntman work just to try and get my body into the same pleasure zone I feel when at Glasto!

:angry:

What about Lullapollullaloozooloolaaluuza, is that any good? If it's really to succeed I think it needs a rename (Lustonbury?!), but otherwise, supposed to be a good fest, right?

Interesting line-up... think most here would be happy with.. And with some sort of clever Facebook integration where you compare planned attendance with your FB friends.

Burning Man Festival in US has pretty alternative style to it - ie not mainstream.

More arts than music oriented though. Lots of crazy partying for days in the desert :angry:

Not easy to get too as in middle of Blackrock desert (Nevada - I think)

Check HERE for information. :angry:

Had a ticket a few years back and was set to go then friend let me down at last minute and I didn't make it :angry:

Actually it would have been Spalding in lincolnshire......read on for the most amazing story....

It has to read to be believed......the greatest rock lineup there has ever been.

no festival could. But i reckon i'd be going to WOMAD or Big Green Gathering. Something i've never done but would love.
