Like I said, if I get a huge amount of money for my 21st in May, i'm there.

I'm Your God Now · 13th February 2008, 12:25pm

Aye, dae it. It'll be stuff of epic proportion, truly legend.

That's not too bad at all.

Aye, WFF's looking pretty solid (I could add Converge, The Red Chord, 7 Seconds and Heaven Shall Burn to that list), and the Hellfest line-up I posted on the other page is decent too. What WFF has in its favour though is that I'd definitely be able to go to it, while the others I can't say for certain, because I should be visiting my future school around the end of June.

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for word on the Pressure Fest bands. I've never seen a bad line-up for that damn Festival and last year's was all-in-all probably the greatest live music experience of my life.

I legitimately check the website every day. I'll probably shit a chicken the day it's actually updated.

See to be honest, I saw Incubus at the arse end of last year and they were such a boring band. I really like them aswell but after going to see them I would inform any of you looking forward to seeing them are gonna be majorly disappointed.

I can't believe people still listen to Incubus in 2008, about a decade after they had any relevance whatsoever. Same could be said of the Offspring as well.

I've seen both bands at Leeds a few times and they're both deathly boring, Incubus in particular.

Zippy · 14th February 2008, 8:03am

I can't understand why any straight male would ever listen to Incubus.

Rosco · 26th February 2008, 8:45am

Is that Korn officially over then?

I'm Your God Now · 26th February 2008, 8:48am

Hopefully.

Download just looks totally crap, its the worst line up I can remember for it.

Semprini · 26th February 2008, 7:36pm

With each passing announcement, there's less and less there that makes me want to go.

fallen_nemesis · 26th February 2008, 7:38pm

Rockness the weekend before is doing it more for me tbh. My birthdays on the Wednesday and it was between this or Rockness for it.

The lineup for this is just gash this year though.

I think the company has blown all their money on getting KISS to play, and really can't attract the same caliber of bands they have done previously. I mean i'd rather have 10 pretty good bands, than 2-3 amazing ones and the rest being shanners.

I'm starting to change my mind about this, I could go else where and catch Metallica and RATM, and probably for cheaper.
