The sun is out more, the flowers are blooming, the birds are making all kinds of crazy noises and animals everywhere are doing the naughty stuff! It's that time of year again!

Yes soon it will be Festival season! An excuse to take a break from work/college/school, live in a tent with the hygeine of primitive man, live on instant noodles and fast food, get intoxicated and enjoy some great, rockin' live music! Has everyone ordered their tickets yet?

I've just booked my tickets for this year's Download festival. I'm looking forward to seeing Prodigy, Pendulum (who I saw at last year's festival), Faith No More, Dragonforce, Lacuna Coil, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Motley Crue, Korn, Black Stone Cherry, Opeth, Dir En Grey, Static-X, Killswitch Engage, and Devil Driver. This year's lineup is immense, and i'm especially looking forward to Sunday's classic cheesy rock headliners! As usual there are a few bands who I have no idea why they're there (i.e. Fightstar), however this year looks like it will be so much better than last year. There's also a band called Lawnmower Death... who i've never heard of but have a very amusing name!

So are you going to a festival this year?
If so, who are you looking forward to seeing?
If not, is there a festival you would like to go to?
