Which music festival are you? | Music | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/m ... ality-quizI got Er, none of my friends would be caught dead at a rock gig otherwise a lot of that would be true for me. We share the same sense of humour but totally different tastes in just about everything else as we've gotten older. On the older front, yeah, 'growing up' is for people who have somewhat given up. Not only that, they might have failed to recognise we're all living longer... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The last festival I was at was Reading in '07 (I think). Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins. VIP passes. And a £140 taxi ride back to Poplar with my mate, because he'd pulled and we didn't want to wait for a train. A potted version of events is available here.

Some of the questions don't have a relevant answer, so none...

I'm Creamfields apparently.
This is news to me I have to say, although it probably didn't help that I was making relatively random choices for a fair few of the questions.

 I don't much like festivals. The weather in this country isn't really suited to them as the audience invariably ends up either with trench foot or sun-stroke.
As an audience member there's generally too many people to too few bands that I really want to see and besides most of the decent ones (from my PoV) are better appreciated in a dark club than a muddy-floored tent. The last time I went to a festival as an audience member, it was held literally 10 minutes walk away from where I lived at the time so it was easy to pop back home if the weather or the bands were [LIFTED].
As a band member my festival ideal would be to be helicoptered in a couple of minutes before I was due on stage and to be whisked away again whilst the final notes of the last song are still ringing! In reality I spend a lot of time in the band van or somewhere warm and dry backstage. We have our second festival gig of 2015 coming up tomorrow. With a bit of luck it will stay reasonably dry and I won't have to spend most of the following day cleaning mud and grass off our equipment.
