    Beanie, that's just about the only one I'm not doing! I'll be going to Download and Leeds, and if I can be disciplined in my spending Sonisphere too. Getting the extra carer ticket makes it a lot cheaper for the tickets, and I've got all the gear for camping.

    Elfen, would you be able to cope if you had a carer with you? Disabled facilities are fab at a lot of festivals, with disabled viewing platforms and stuff so you're not having to deal with crowds and things, and the disabled campsites are a lot quieter. Download let you have more than one carer if you need it - I'm taking two as my mental health seems to be nosediving. Leeds you're in the VIP area so there's a quieter bar and stuff. I've heard amazing things about Glastonbury but just get confused by the ticketing system! I'm going to ask dad to buy me a ticket for next year though for my 30th.

    I wanted to go to Sonisphere last year but couldn't make it. The lineup looks awesome this year though, so many bands that I love.

    Beanie it is a real shame, is your son going? Where in Scotland are you?
