It's around this time every year that festivals announce their line-up's, so basically it's time to start the rumours and get a bit excited. Unless you are heading to SXSW, the big one's arrive in the summer months. Already announced are.......... Benicassim: www.fiberfib.com Bonnaroo: www.bonnaroo.com Coachella: www.coachella.com Download: www.downloadfestival.co.uk But what about closer to home? Could Radiohead headline Electric Picnic? Who will Oxegen run with?

What is the one in Eastern Europe that has a bit of Glastonbury vibe to it? Supposed to be fantastic. No glasto this year. Epicnic, what is the ticket situation? According to ticketmaster.ie it's constantly one of the most popular tickets being sold

The bonnaroo lineup looks fantastic, pity it's in Tennesse or somewhere similar. Has the Coachella lineup been announced yet? There was a fake lineup circulating last week.

The Benicassim line up doesn't do anything for me. I've always thought it a pity that Scotland's T in the Park shares a weekend - and consequently a line up - with Oxegen/Witness. I was at the 1998 T in the Park and it ruled as far as the venue and atmosphere went. Would be sorely tempted to say F*ck Oxegen and go to T in the Park this year except that you'd miss the local Irish talent. ( Yeah, yeah I know you can catch them all in Whelans every other weekend but there's vibe about an open air festival that you just don't get anywhere else ).

I got my tix for Coachella the other day. Over $200 a piece when you include the ticketbastard fees. Just need to arrange flights & somewhere to stay. I'll probably camp. I wanted to go to Sasquatch again but cant make it this year. Their lineup isn't out yet.

Benicassim was also one of the highlights of the year for me last year, in particular getting to see Nick Cave. How nice is to to go to a festival with guranteed sun!!

If I go to anything abroad, it will be Sonar in Barcelona. My mates have gone there the last 3 years and loved it, but I've always missed out for one reason or another. Not this year though, nothing will stop meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
