June’s hotting up. I was tempted go to Download, but as I only want to see three of the acts (Machine Head, Slayer and Slipknot) and they’re 3rd, 4th and 5th on the Sunday bill… it just doesn’t seem worth it. £50 plus booking fee, travel, food and so forth for maybe 90 mins of actual music. Nah.
Festival-wise, I am going to Leeds for the fourth year in a row. My only concern is, once again, wondering which Premiership game it will clash with. Last year was ManUre at home, which I obviously didn’t want to miss. Season before it was Man City away – we found a pub 2 miles away showing the game on telly. Year before that was the home derby against the mackems. Like I’d have missed that!
OK, so June. First off I have Elly visiting for a week, arriving on the Sunday I would have been going to Download if it hadn’t been expensive and badly-organised. The following Saturday will be Deicide in Sheffield, and then Anthrax in Nottingham the following night.
A week or so’s break and then Fear Factory in Manchester. I really need to start working out again.
Of course, not to forget the small matter of Euro 2004 over the month as well!
