Arcade Fire only main draw for me at Iow.. Though can heartily recommend Nothing but thieves, Texas, rag & bone man is superb, sherlocks get better every time I see them... Kaiser Chiefs pretty good too 
Download... If evil Scarecrow play, go see them!  |

"It's gotta be the iow for us, mainly because we love going abroad
Although the lineups of either aren't really inspiring as yet ."
Yes, there is not really anything on either list that makes me want to go.
Though to be fair I'm not a big fan of festivals. I leave that to my daughter. At least she is old enough now that I never have to go see "All Time Low" again (she's grown out of them too). |

"IOW for Arcade Fire & Kaiser's are always a good festival band, Download not my genre of music tbh. Pity, as it's only down the road. "
Yeah I agree, Im hoping for a few more big bands being announced soon  |

My first big outdoor festival this year has cracking line-up... Bearded Theory..skunk anansie, seasick Steve, madness, nma, slaves, best though is Reverend and makers in the woodland stage to close on Sunday... Gonna be magical.. . Even if the buggers have given me a full day's work on the Thursday this year for early birders |

"Which small festival has the best chilled out hippie vibe? I'm not into folk, but I love blues and bluesy rock. Love a bit of Zeppelin and proggy rock but not metal.  "
Chagfest, Devon is good little one...
Or head up to Keswick for their jazz and blues festival or Burnley for their blues festival
Efestival website list hundreds and may have something small closer to you |

"I'm afraid it has to be Glastonbury.
No contest. Soz.
\thread"
Ive never had any interest in going to Glastonbury, Maybe if I was a first year student wanting to try dope for the first time, then I could keep my wrist band on for rest of Uni, or if I was a juggler on stilts I may enjoy it, I could even get married in a blow up church? |

Kendal Calling is very chilled out, even had a shisha tent last time I went. Not too expensive either, around £120 for the weekend including camping... Compared to the £200+ some charge! |

"Aww no thanks; the toilet situation puts me off
I have my own in my Campervan
I think I love you! 
Me too x"
But the down side is the price! an extra £200 for the campervan alone  plus the expense of the ferry for IOW festival |

Download and Glastonbury have been comped to me again this year so that's a no-brainier. Campervans or the popup hotel are the only way I stay at festivals. |

Iow for me , purely for Arcade Fire . Cannot understand what Ricky has done with the new kaisers direction they aren't a draw anymore to me.
Considering Rock Werchter in Belgium , that has a belting line up |
