And so will they, probably.

A long time ago - by the time alt-fest happens, it'll be nearly 28 years - I went to Reading Rock Festival in order to see t'Joke.  I slept in a subway in Reading station that night, in between a gang of casuals and a gang of bikers who spent the night hurling insults and threats at each other.  As a scrawny young punk, I didn't fancy my chances if they decided to meet half-way.  Also, it had rained at the gig, so I was a bit damp.

It was 100% worth it.  I'd recorded the whole thing (the gig, not the insults & threats) on my ghetto blaster and I still have the tape somewhere...

Slightly less time ago (but still, by the time alt-fest happens, approx 23 years) I went to a gig in Finsbury Park in order to see KJ.  It was a short set, in daylight, but it was the Extremities tour, and they opened with Money.  Feckin hell, but they rocked.  NMA came on after them.  "This one's for Killing Joke.  It's called Men In White Coats." Ha!

Also 100% worth it.

Next summer, however, I will be sitting at home drinking tea (probably).

That's a pretty sweet line-up already.  But I have never been to any large fest-type concerts.  I've only been to a couple shows that had an all day line-up with all bands playing the same stage inside the same venue that could hold 2-5 thousand people.

What is everyone's experience with these large fests?
