The Cult at wolves civic. Seen them dozens of times but they were really on top form this year. Me and my wife had a meal and a few bevvies before hand and then sat side on , front row about six or seven seats along on the balcony right above Billy Duffy. Got us both a bottle of wine each before they came on. Just about remember the whole gig. 

Bearded Theory (though technically the arse end of May) is the closest thing to Glasto I've been to...

Unfortunately I haven't got sufficient up votes for all of you who have responded above. The information is extremely useful to me.    The above said, there is now a fly in the ointment. I mentioned to my wife, brother and mate, earlier that I had posted a request on efests about getting a suitable venue for my 60th. I also indicated that if any people on this planet that could guide on this one, that it would be all the folk on here. It was then that I was made aware of 'secret' already concluded preparations for my 60th.   I am still very grateful for the suggestions made, and also still welcome any others. I say this because the suggestions so far are drool inducing. So much so that I may have to set up a rival camp for my 60th celebrations. I mean 'who's f'ing birthday is it anyway'!? lol I don't really mean that. I don't actually like celebrating birthdays, but 'experienced' what my wife achieved for my 50th, so thought it would be good to repeat it for next year' s 60th. That said, there's friends I have who have never been to a festival, and really ought to go before it's too late, and 'forcing' them to may be the only 'decent' thing to do. Mind you, that's all a bit fascist too, which is not to my liking.   Anyway, I've had a smoke and sense hat I may be flying off on tangents.   Thanks once again to those above. You may 'win' the day yet.        

Agree. Mucky Weekender is a great festival. Surprisingly diverse range of music. Good vibe too

Went to 35 this year, best was Kacey Musgraves, Glasgow, 10th May (the night of the Northern Lights!)
