yes, there was a lot on the line up i didn't know/recognise. can you recommend some good french artists (apart from the obvious mainstreem ones) in my kind of genre ?

i should probably have a listen.

hope you have fun,

steve.

I wonder wherefrom you draw your statement of it being "one of the best of Europe"? For instance Koneisto, Big Chill, Sonar, Kaustinen and Roskilde all appear much more exciting to me...

looks cool,

not been to a festival in years, not since 1998.

i had a friend who's parents lived in pilton (where glastonbury is held) so we went a few times in the mid/late 90's but they moved in 99.

edit: never been a big one for camping and shit toilets, so when the comfy house option disappeared so did my motivation

thanks for the links

let's say my statement was just made in that very purpose



on the other hand, i really think this festival is well renouned and specially well appreciated by the bands.

this is at least the general belief whe share here.

Yeah, me too. And I'm sure it's going to be swell time.

It was just funny to read a festival I had never heard of suddenly crowned as the unmistakable cream of the European festival crop. Especially since the statement was very hazy; Paleo is just quite simply One of The Best, no matter what field of music we are talking about...

But you are right, I'm being pedantic again
