Unfortunately we only get the rather shit BDO here in Adelaide so to experience a great music festival we have to travel.

What are the great ones people know of and which ones have people gone to?

Here are a few I would seriously love to attend:

Rock Am Ring (Germany)

Coachella (USA)

Roskilde (Denmark)
Reading (UK)
T in the Park (Scotland)
Bonnaroo (USA)
Glastonbury (UK)
Exit (Serbia)

Sziget (Hungary)

350,000 people over 5 days (used to be 7) of camping, on an island in Budapest.

It's comparably cheap as well!
Still easy, still can't defeat me - my style's dyslexic so don't try to read me.

Parklife / Field Day in Sydney.
- Although lately the acts haven't been to my liking, the ones I went to were some of the best events I've been to. So professional and fun.

Burning Man
- meant to be fucking spastic.

Rock The Bells
- I hate Blake for going to see this a few years ago... maybe next year.

Mt Fuji Rock Festival
- my friend went to this the week she found out she was pregnant, and although didn't even drink, still said it was the best festival she's been to.

Womad
- Seriously better than anything I've been to in Melbourne or Sydney, except for maybe Alternative Nation, but that was headlined by PWEI so nothing can top that icon_wink

Bullshit line-up. Pretty much ticks all my "most want to see" acts off in one go. Not sure if it was 2007 or 2008, but I think the special guests ended up being like Kool G Rap and MOP ffs.

This was also RATM and Wu-Tangs first shows back together in years.

Urban art forms
The indoor festival
westfest

I'm sure there are plenty more and I don't even know if these shows are on every year.
