Festival summer 2006

If you are asking yourself which UK festival you are going to this summer, look no further.... For your convenience, I have looked into which ones I'm thinking will be the best this year, and here are the candidates (ordered by date):


- The O2 Music Wireless festival 2006 (London)
(end of June)

This festival was arranged for the first time in 2005, and wow, it was a blast! It is not a "true" festival in the sense that it does not include tents etc, but it is in the middle of Hyde Park, spread over 4 days. Last year it included bands such as Keane, Kasabian, Supergrass, Rufus Wainwright, The Editors, Hard-Fi, Moby, Basement Jaxx, Babyshambles and Martha Wainwright. All in all, a great event. There are no "real" rumours or announcements regarding the 2006 festival, but I think it will be worth going!

- T in the Park (Scotland) (7-9th July)

This is predicted to be "THE Festival" in 2006, especially since Glastonbury is cancelled for 2006.

- Carling Weekend (Reading/Leeds) (25-27th August)

The Reading Festival has traditionally been the second largest event after Glastonbury. Rumours has it that the following bands are coming:
Muse
Humanzi
Wolfmother
iForward Russia!
Boy Kill Boy
Dirty Pretty Things
Franz Ferdinand
Kaiser Chiefs
Arctic Monkeys
The Strokes
Alice Cooper
Flaming Lips
Secret Machines
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

- The V festival (Chelmsford)
(19-20th August)

This is the 10th anniversary for the V festival, and I think that Sir Richard Branson
might invest a little extra in it this year? Rumours has it that the following bands are coming...
Radiohead
James Blunt
The Who
Keane
Kasabian
Razorlight
