Any keen campers that are also festival goers?
I started a blog a while ago that was initially camping related but is now festivals and camping.
http://tentsandfestivals.blogspot.co.uk/
I love a festival, an excue to camp, with music and beer!
Anyone else? What festivals are you off to this year?

I agree many festivals are pricey although when you work out what you get for the money they are usually great value. It depends if they are bands you really want to see I guess. Lots of sites now run the camping from weds or thurs until Monday morning so it's a few days too.
I use efestivals website to find cheap local festivals, last year I did three days with subsidised beer tent and music for £20
And don't forget that there are lots of other festivals too, not just music, comedy, food....

I'm 64 (next week)and manage to get to about 7 or 8 festivals a year. Most are smaller, local festivals but a couple are quite big (15,000ish attendees). The camper van does make things easier!
I've been going to festivals since 1969 and, apart from a break in the 1980s when we lived abroad and then had jobs where weekends off were a no no (running pubs) I've been going to festivals ever since.
If you get the opportunity give festivals in Europe a go (though if you are under 30 you might like to give the 'dance and trace' ones a miss). They are generally cheaper than those here in the UK and the weather is often better. They are often town based and can add something different to your holiday. Festival Interceltique in Lorient, France and Pennabilly Buskers Festival in Italy are both recommended.

I've done a few festivals this year. Along with some scooter rallies, where you get good music and beer, and no trouble, always family freindly, some of these cost £5 per night!!
going to Sunshine Festival in Upton in August bank holiday and this was only £60 for four days,lots of retro bands there as well as tribute tent. Lots for the kids to do aswell. Looking forward to it
