Never been to one
Which is a bit irritating. Closest I've been to is an outdoor concert and nothing particularly QOTW-worthy happened at those.
I mean my first one was the British Philharmonic Orchestra- there's not going to be a moshpit for them- and my second was Radiohead so the only harm I could have come to was from my self...

However, as I'm not a "I don't like it and I've never tried it" type, I'm planning on going to a festival next year. Any idea on which one's the best? Or which ones to avoid?

Come to Damnation Festival!
It's £30 for a full day of bands!

I've only ever managed to get to one day of Reading in the 80's so thought it was about time to do a full festival and Reading and Glasto don't look so appealing to me these days!
Though it does sort of depend on what you like to listen to!

is brilliant. Good music, great comedy, theatre, cabaret, free smoothies in the kid's section. It's smallish (15k), so the traipse back to the tent isn't too long.

Especially if you're a festie virgin. I went last year and it's the best one I've ever been to, really relaxed - sadly however the lineup this year is shit.
Should it improve for next year I will definitely be going.

The only decision I have left is do I take my good tent or do I pick up a cheap one from Argos...
I like the look of this years line up over last years but each to their own.
