I did these 2 in 2006.. I spent double what I thought I would.
As mentioned by everyone else.. It was worth every penny. |

A few other festivals...there are a ton of other festivals in cooler places with better music. Maybe you'll start liking some good music by the time you go. |
LOL! If I had a euro for every time you've said that to me, I'd have enough to go to all those festivals.

Completely worth it if you have the summer off, b/c as you get older, chances like that will not be as easy. For me, last summer I had to write my thesis, this summer I have mandatory summer school, next summer I should be working at a law firm, the summer after that I'll be articling and writing my bar exams, then it's off to the real world. It was the only summer I could get a full 2 months off, so start saving now...don't be stingy...DO IT!!! |
See that is exactly what i was thinking, this will be the only chance I get if I'm accepted to teachers college, after that I'm going to be rather confined and wont be able to party my ass off for a month. Why Holland over England though? More trance parties or the festivals or better? |

2 words...Ferry Corsten. We had an apartment in Jordaan, Amsterdam. I fell in love with the city and could live there for the rest of my life. It's not at all what I expected. |

Could you imagine having a whole summer to party, hit festivals, and leave everything behind. I could only imagine how amazing it would be to go. I seriously wonder what the total cost for transportation, food, booze, party enhancers, shelter ect, would be for the whole summer.
There are a few other festivals but I didnt include them cause I have to go back to work.
To be honest, if get accepted to school I may try and hit half of these next summer. depending on the prices of courses. I figure between the partying the tourist can be accomplished.
Glastonbury, England– June 24-28, 2009 180.00 Pounds
Sensation Wicked Wonderland, Netherlands
July 4, 2009 69.00 Euros
T in the Park, Glasgow, Scotland July 10-12, 2009 145.00 Pounds
Love Parade, Duisburg, Germany July 18, 2009 ?Free?
Global Gathering – Long Marston Airfield, England July 24,25, 2009 175.00 Pounds
BBC Radio 1 in Ibiza Aug, 7-21, 2009 Various $$$
Mysteryland – Haarlemmeer, Holand Aug 29, 2009 95.00 Euros
Creamfields, Liverpool, England Aug 29-30 2009 100.00 Pounds |
I did something like this back in 2004 when I took the entire summer off to travel. It's totally doable and you can average about $1000 CAD per week, with flights and everything included..

When we went (TAs and other friends) we basically did Hostelling...a lot of people think it's the 'sketchy' dirty way to travel but I have stayed at some of the coolest/clean places in Hostels. Just check the ratings online before booking.
First time I travelled alone for more than a week was in Spain in 05, it's doable even if you don't really speak the language but it helps if you try/know a bit and go prepared (obviously) |

Right because everything revolves around what you think is better music or good music... jeez |

Yes, I stayed in hostels. Sometimes I was with other people, but more often than not I was alone. |
