Glastonbury for me has totally sold out this year, it is overpriced and whats with JayZ headlining?
I am impressed with Isle Of Wight festival (The Police, Sex Pistols, Kaiser Chiefs) but now Lilly Alan pulles out.VFestival looks good too, but what do you think is the best line-up for 2008?

wild in the country for the best day/nighter.. stunning lineup
^^

Wakestock
It involves entertaining sport during the day and some awesome line ups for the three nights!
^ this for Wild in the Country
The line up is sick. Got my ticket already
Also, Bestival. I can't get enough of that place - and only one headliner announced so far!
Are you joking?
Benicassim has got one of the weakest line ups I've seen in years
i'm really looking forward to Bestival
it'll be the second time seeing MBV this year then, not to mention the Human League and Funkadelic.
Even if you discount the bands playing, the festival just looks so much fun with everything else going on. Cannot wait.
