...what can i say about party in the park 2002 its was great unbelievably great but my feet didnt think so by the end of the 11 hrs of pure standing up. So the wednesday before party in the park me and my partner decide we want to go so we put in a bid for it with ebay and yes we get them for the price of £55 we didnt know wether or not that was a good price at the time but we paid it,we later found out the price wasnt too bad seeing as the man we ...

As a festival virgin I was pretty anxious about the whole experience. I was particularly worried about the washing and toilet facilities due to the horror stories that I'd heard and read about.

...and put them on 2 stages and various tents. The shows have got bigger and bigger for the last 6 years. It is held in 2 locations: Hylands Park, Chelmsford. Weston Park, Leeds.

...thought of going to Rock Werchter in Belgium? It is a four day music festival that takes place a few kilometrres outside of the Belgian university town of Leuven at the end of June. I went this year and can thoroughly recommend it. There was a number of factors why we decided to go to Werchter. I am a fairly experienced festival goer having attended all the major British festivals apart from V. My partner Duskman has bean to a couple of continental ...
...by them. We decided on Werchter as it is not too far to travel from London, had a very good line up, and the dates fitted in with my work schedule. TICKETS You may think it would be more expensive to go to a festival aboard but it is not that much dearer at all. In fact the tickets are cheaper.
