Hey I've got 2 questions. 

Anybody going to any festivals this summer, and if so, what festivals?

I have never been to a festival before, but I'm hoping to go to at least one this summer.  Right now I have tentative plans to go to lollapalooza with a buddy of mine, but there is a chance that he might not be able to go.   Are festivals any fun if you don't have your pals along?

Got a 3-day ticket to Tuska* Festival 2011. It's a yearly Finnish heavy metal festival and one of the biggest metal festivals in Scandinavia (if not the biggest). Some great bands there this year along with a brand new venue. This will be my fourth time attending the festival. Always been sunny which is a plus! Last time I got a neat leather fedora there for myself. :)

Some bands I plan to EXPERIENCE:

Amon Amarth
Devin Townsend
Blind Guardian
Katatonia
Epica
Amorphis
Wintersun
Moonsorrow
Tarot

More info @ www.tuska-festival.fi!

* Tuska is a Finnish and means Pain/Agony/Suffering

I haven't got any money right now.

I really want to see System of a Down at Download but the rest of the line-up is shit.

Sonisphere this year is beastly but £190 which is really too expensive. http://uk.sonispherefestivals.com/

The last gig I saw was Kyuss and that was great. That's my lot until my first payday. Oh well.

I'm seeing Mogwai at the end of the month.  In the next couple months I'm seeing Paul Simon and Moody Blues. I recently saw Sarah McLachlan and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

actually yeah I think he did. I know he played one for sure might have been a lil rhythm though.


They only did about half of alot of songs there, he and whoever came out would switch through a bunch of songs pretty quick because they were still missin folks I think. He did 6ft 7ft though and that was really awesome. Also drake came out which I didn't expect.
