Offered a ticket to Nos Alive today but if I go I can't go Glastonbury, all these decisions. So I made a pro's and cons list for both:
Glastonbury:
The festival itself, with over 100 stages and no other festival replicates its atmosphere
Two of my best friends are going, whereas for Nos Alive I'd have to find someone else to go with.
The festival is from Wednesday when campsites open to Monday so there's more days you'll be there
Not a fan of the headliners so far (like Muse but saw them last summer and Coldplay ugh) plus Adele is meant to be the final one which is so meh. But there's so many other acts on at the same time that this should be mitigated.
The weather, I can't remember the last time a Glastonbury didn't have at least one horrid day of lashing rain.
Nos Alive:
That lineup.... Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Pixies, Robert Plant, Wolf Alice, The 1975 (I know you guys aren't really fans but I loved their first album at least), Tame Impala, Foals, M83, Grimes, Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty all in 3 days is pretty sensational.
Guaranteed good weather, cause it's like Portugal in the summer
Though I'm too stingy to get a hotel so camping in 30+*C is not gonna be fun but at least there's a pool
There's only really two stages so it's much smaller overall layout
The venue is kinda a dusty field which isn't really appealing
Since flights are so expensive, there'd be a fair amount of travelling to and from (Likely fly to another city close by and get a train.
So tough to decide, I'm leaning towards Glastonbury atm.
I do want to go, is just that I don't know if I'll be in my country when they come.
