FESTIVAL FUN!!

Are you a festival goer? A massive musical bundle of joy when the lineups get announced for the coming season? Well I know I am, and even though it might be a little early to start getting excited about the 2011 festivals, I felt it could never hurt to start looking into it sooner rather than later. Ranging from festivals close to home, or (if you're feeling particularly adventurous) located all the way across the Atlantic, here are several festivals you do not want to miss out on!
